Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass was a guilty pleasure for comic book aficionados because
it managed to strike the perfect balance between parodying and paying homage to
the superhero genre. Jeff Wadlow’s Kick-Ass
2 has none of the wit and innocence of its predecessor and instead features
balls to wall action and, for some reason, Union J music videos. It is arguably
a funnier film than the first installment, but that’s not really the point. Hit-Girl’s
awkward attempts to ditch the switchblades and fit in at high school is the
only interesting subplot, but even that feels more like a preview to Chloe
Grace Moretz’ upcoming Carrie remake.
2/5
