The
concept
of
the
comic
book-inspired
Kick
Ass
germinated
from
the
idea
of
average
Americans
without
any
special
powers
dressed
up
as
superheroes
to
fight
street
crime.
A
fantasy
which
most
US
teenagers
share.
And
Kick
Ass
2
delivers.
This
hyper-violent
teen
superhero
flick,
co-produced
by
Brad
Pitt
takes
off
from
where
the
previous
Kick
Ass
left
in
2010.
Mindy
Macready
(Chloe
Grace
Moretz),
who
has
been
robbed
of
her
childhood
and
Dave
Lizewski
(Aaron
Taylor-Johnson),
both
try
to
adjust
to
normal
high
school
life.
Mindy,
who
lives
with
her
guardian
Marcus
(Morris
Chestnut),
is
constantly
reminded
of
her
father
and
the
injustice
that
took
him
away
from
her.
So,
she
dons
purple
hair
and
a
leather
suit
to
slip
into
her
alter-ego,
'Hit
Girl'.
On
the
other
hand,
Dave
apes
to
be
a
superhero.
Despite
being
an
ordinary
kid,
he
decides
to
dress
up
in
a
green
superhero
suit
to
fight
crime.
He
christens
himself
'Kick
Ass'
and
pursues
Mindy
to
join
up
a
legitimate
group
headed
by
the
wily
Colonel
Stars
and
Stripes
(Jim
Carrey).
In
the
meanwhile,
a
new
villain
is
busy
empire-building:
Chris
D'Amico
(Christopher
Mintz-Plasse),
the
spoilt
rich
brat
who
spent
the
last
film
trying
to
be
a
hero,
now
apes
to
be
the
super-villain,
with
an
obsession
for
revenge.
He
rechristens
himself
with
an
obnoxious
title
and
with
his
financial
capacity,
he
hires
all
the
thugs
he
can
lay
hands
on,
gives
them
exotic
names,
and
craves
to
destroy
Kick
Ass
and
his
team.
The
end
is
predictable,
where
fairness
prevails
and
good
overcomes
evil.

Performances
In
Kick
Ass
2
The
plot
progression
squarely
falls
on
Aaron,
Chloe
and
Chis.
While
Aaron
comes
out
to
be
sincere
and
hardworking,
there
is
something
lacking
in
his
performance.
Chris
excels
in
histrionics
and
offers
comic
relief,
big
time,
with
his
actions
and
dialogues.
Though
technically
Aaron
plays
the
titular
lead,
the
focus
of
the
film
is
on
Chloe
for
her
action
with
the
samurai
swords
and
nunchucks.
Jim
Carrey
and
Morris
are
wasted.
Narration
In
Kick
Ass
2
The
first
half
of
the
film
drags
a
bit
with
high-school
subplots,
crabby
teen
disagreements,
street
fights
and
shock
value
that
consist
of
foul
language,
explosive
and
sadistic
diarrhea
and
bloody
fights.
But
it
is
the
action-packed
second
half
with
the
costumed
final
battle
that
salvages
the
film
from
being
a
mediocre
dish
out.
Technical
Stuff
In
Kick
Ass
2
The
well-choreographed
action
sequence
and
a
racy
background
score
adds
zest
to
the
narration.
Director
Jeff
Wadlow
subtly
injects
humour
into
the
script
with
the
unusual
character
names
that
he
introduces
like
-
Dr.
Gravity,
Night
Bitch,
The
Tumour,
Genghhis
khan
and
Mother
Russia.
They
definitely
add
spark
to
a
mundane
story
line.

Verdict
Overall,
Kick
Ass
2
is
a
watchable
fare
that
will
entertain
you
if
you
have
nothing
better
to
do.
