“ Kick-Ass 2 improves on its 2010 predecessor in at least one respect: It doesn’t make the mistake of trying to pass off its bone-crunching brutality as something shocking or subversive.” - Variety “The sequel retains the original’s blithely manipulative tone, and writer-director Jeff Wadlow barely pads this irritating continuation with new or, heaven forbid, original ideas.” - Slant “ KA2, written and directed by the little-known Jeff Wadlow, taking over for Matthew Vaughn, is less grounded than the delightful original, more hectic and blaring - a cinematic shock jock who needs to push your buttons.” - New York Post
#Night bitch kick ass 2 movie
The first movie was a brash satire on formulaic comic-book movies - exactly the sort of picture the sequel turns out to be.” - Miami Herald “What seemed edgy and bold in Kick-Ass is now routine and old-hat. “In the annals of sequeldom, Kick-Ass 2 has to be one of the lamest follow-ups ever.” - Philadelphia Inquirer “The sequel is better in every way except one: surprise.” - Village Voice “Vaughn is producing this time, with Cry_Wolf’s Jeff Wadlow directing, and while Kick-Ass 2 does a decent job of replicating the look and feel of the original (as well as that of the Millar comics), it doesn’t have the same urgency.” - New York “ Kick-Ass 2 is a step down.” - The Oregonian “Like most second chapters in comic-book series, Kick-Ass 2 is better than its predecessor, though there was really no place to go but up.” - AV Club “Not only is its successor played-out, but it revels in carnage while lacking the visual style and gleeful humor of the original.” - USA Today One thing everyone agrees on, though, is that Chloe Moretz’s Hit Girl enters the cliquish world of queen bees and wannabes. Some say it’s better than the original, others claim it’s worse. The reviews for Kick-Ass 2 are a mixed bag: Some critics reject the movie’s ultra violence, while some find it subversive.
