Film review - Kick Ass 2




                          Just For Kicks

Film: Kick Ass 2
Cast: Chloe Grace Moretz, Aaron Taylor Johnson
Directed by: Jeff Wadlow
Duration: 1 hrs 43 mins
Rating: * * 1 / 2


                         When Kick Ass was released a couple of years back, it become a hit even though there were no big stars in it. The sequel has a new director and tries to kick ass but manages to do so only partly. How much you enjoy this film though would depend on how old you are – the younger ones would like it more because this is a film meant to appeal to teenagers but the film comes with an Adult certificate and deservedly so.  

            The previous film was about a high school boy who wants to become a super hero without any super powers. This time the focus is more on Mindy aka Hit Girl (Chloe Grace Moretz) who is extremely skilled when it comes to fighting the bad guys. Dave aka Kick Ass (Aaron Taylor Johnson) is her good friend but after a couple of outings Mindy promises her uncle that she will indulge in any more heroics. Kick Ass meanwhile meets a motley crue, all of whom disguise as superheroes, lead by Col Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey). The villain of the piece is Chris, the son of a character from the first film. Chris nicknames himself something that is unprintable here and he wants to kill Kick Ass.
            There are a few gags a bit of action, but nothing will broadly appeal you unless you are of a certain age group. Along with the action, it is the performance of Chloe Grace Moretz that leaves an impression but otherwise Kick Ass 2 doesn’t have much to gloat about.
