Reviews for this film from our members:
- [New – 1/16/14] | Dragan Antulov @ Draxblog VI [Croatian]
- Jason Bailey @ Flavorwire
- Excerpt: Hit Girl was a classic case of a supporting character stealing the show — a supporting character who, by all rights, should have been the star. And now they’ve made a sequel, Kick-Ass 2, in which they made the same damn mistake again.
- Kevin Carr @ 7M Pictures
- Excerpt: as if the filmmakers wanted to deliver a bitingly sardonic satire of violence in society, but the studio was forcing them to make a mainstream superhero movie
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: morally repugnant.
- Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
- Excerpt: Even more so than its predecessor, Kick-Ass 2 presents a nihilistic view of the “real world.”
- Candice Frederick @ Reel Talk
- Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
- Excerpt: Flimsy & floundering, it’s one of the stupidest sequels ever.
- Blake Howard @ Graffiti With Punctuation
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: Like a Comic-Con cosplay event gone horribly wrong, this poor excuse for an action comedy has nothing to say beyond a few expletives and nothing to offer but a shocking lack of appreciation for its own awful irony.
- Jeremy Kibler @ The Artful Critic
- Excerpt: Punch in the Face: Tiresome “Kick-Ass 2” all bark and no bite
- Oktay Ege Kozak @ Oregon Herald
- Benjamin Kramer @ The Voracious Filmgoer
- Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Brent McKnight @ Beyond Hollywood
- Excerpt: Kick-Ass 2 is a dull copy of the first movie, that comes off mean spirited and gross.
- Simon Miraudo @ Quickflix
- Darren Mooney @ the m0vie blog
- Excerpt: Not as kick-ass at the first one.
- Mark Pfeiffer @ Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema
- Jason Pirodsky @ Expats.cz
- Excerpt: Unlike the subversive satire of the first film – which asked if you should really be enjoying all the action violence – this one seems to revel in the over-the-top brutality; by the big action-packed finale, it has become the kind of superhero movie it originally set out to parody.
- Diego Salgado @ Miradas de Cine [Spanish]
- Tom Santilli @ Examiner.com
- Excerpt: It lacks the confidence to double-down on what made the first effort appealing, choosing instead to walk the fence between responsibility and shock, and not really coming down effectively in either area.
- Cole Smithey @ ColeSmithey.com
- Excerpt: Exploitation-indoctrination cinema doesn’t come any crasser than this unnecessary follow-up to the first “Kick-Ass” (2010) movie.
- Josh Spiegel @ Sound on Sight
- Excerpt: Kick-Ass 2 is a rare film, one that is so messy and unpleasant that it makes one wonder if its predecessor was actually any good.
- Frank Swietek @ One Guys Opinion
- Excerpt: Simply shamerful…nasty, brutisj, but certainly not short.
- Jean-François Vandeuren @ Panorama-cinema.com [French]
- Phil Villarreal @ COED.com
- Excerpt: Joins the bland cinematic tradition of craptastic sequels that follow amazing comedies.
