Critics Consensus

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

Candice Frederick

Reel Talk Online

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.

Rated: B-

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.

Jenny McCartney

Daily Telegraph (UK)

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

Rated: 1/5

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...

Rated: B+

Patrick Cavanaugh

The Wolfman Cometh

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.

Rated: 2/5

Deep Focus Review

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

Rated: 2/4

It's not as bad as people think. Maybe not as good as the first film but only a little bit lacking, so my score is still the same as the first one. Though for Kick-Ass/Dave, I wish if he had a better ending and had better interactions with certain characters. Jim Carrey was pretty cool in this movie even though his role was short.

Muito bom o filme. Recomendo assistir. É um filme que entrega uma qualidade parecido com o filme que antecede este, mas tem alguns pontos que poderiam ter sido melhores.
