Critics Consensus

Kick-Ass 2 falls short in its attempt to emulate the original's unique blend of ultra-violence and ironic humor.

B-

While the character development and underlying premise of this installment are far more eloquently stated than they were in the first film, Kick-Ass 2, like its characters, suffers at times from a dual identity.

Chloe Grace Moretz and the character of Hit Girl are so infinitely more entertaining than the film around them, you can't help but wonder why it's not just a movie about her.

1/5

Although the film has the cheap veneer of female empowerment that comes from having a girl assassin, it is rotten with misogyny.

Perhaps a little over-dramatic at times but this movie is silly and goofy and the score reflects that, yet it gives you this sense of an awesome comic-book epic...

2/5

Squanders all the potential of the franchise to deliver an overly indulgent and abrasive experience that aimed to be controversial but ends up being embarrassing.

2/4

Fleetingly enjoyable scenes suffer for the overall lack of cohesion. The film would have benefitted from some focus.

Your standard action comedy superhero fair, not as good as the first one and I didn't even think the first film was that great.

It wasn't as good as the first movie, and the Mean Girls-style sub-plot was really unnecessary, but overall, I loved this movie. It was so much fun to watch and there were so many hilariously epic moments that made it an absolute joy to sit through. I definitely recommend it for superhero, action, and comedy fans!

Keeps the spirit of the original Kick-Ass. Jim Carreys' performance is underrated. Not a great movie, but not nearly as bad as some say.

An okay follow-up that delivers some fun moments but ultimately falls short of the original’s clever mix of satire and spectacle.
