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.
