I just wish I
could say Kick-Ass 2 really kicked ass, but the real truth is that it
didn’t. I watched it based on a review I read that said the movie, although not
well-received by critics, was actually not that bad. But after watching it, I
have to agree that the movie is that bad.
The only good
thing I truly enjoyed in the movie is the nicknames or the code (superhero)
names that many of them had. It was funny to hear, and even funnier when
someone else in the movie called them by that name.
We had:
- The Motherfu@#er
- Mother Russia
- Night Bitch
- Ass-Kicker
- Insect Man
The names were
just hilarious, and the worst part (or truly funny part) was when Kick-Ass’s
arch-enemy, now named The Motherfu@#er, tried to rape Night Bitch. Now, rape is
not something to laugh about, but there is a rape scene in this movie—sorry, I
correct myself, “an attempted rape scene”—that everyone has to see.
Kick-Ass 2 was
just a silly movie. Nothing at all in this movie suggested that the makers were
trying to impress or make an attempt to do a good job. It was more like people
coming together to make a sequel to a movie that was a hit, but they had no
real fallback story to work on. So, they just put some silly things together
and called it a movie.
The violence
level in this movie is really high, and there are more sexual references here
than in the previous movie. I really enjoyed the first movie a lot, and I was
looking forward to seeing what Hit Girl had been up to after the passing of her
father. In a way, I was just disappointed.
Well, what
happened to Hit Girl is that she was now adopted by her father’s friend,
Detective Marcus. Marcus tried to make Hit Girl quit the hero life by trying to
get her involved with other female friends, which worked for some days—until
Hit Girl decided that the world of makeup and gossip wasn’t for her.
Then there’s the
case of The Motherfu@#er, who wanted to get even with Kick-Ass for killing his
father. So, he started a team of super-villains with one notion in mind: to
bring down Kick-Ass.
The events that
led to the eventual demise of The Motherfu@#er’s crew were just too stupid to
ignore, so you may want to see that.
Well, in
conclusion, this movie is just not it. But if you crave seeing Kick-Ass getting
beaten up again, then go queue up to see it.
