Regular readers of my Blog will know that I dislike films that are gratuitous in their use of Sex, Language or Violence just for the sake of it, these things have their place in film and are necessary and can be justified in context, however Kick Ass 2 is yet another example of a film that goes to far in being bloodthirsty for the sake of it.
It is also another example of the BBFC failing to protect 16-18 year olds, by rating a very violent film as a 15.
That aside kick ass 2 fails on a couple of levels, it is, you could argue less "Kick Ass 2" and more "Hit Girl" as she spends as much if not more of the screen time as he does.
The Story line is also quite weak, with characters swapping dilemmas regularly.
For all of that, I'm not saying that this is a bad film, it is reasonably well acted, and the fight scenes, bloody as they are, are extremely well choreographed.
With a little less blood and a bit less pretentious nonsense this could have been a really good film, as it is its nowhere near the standard of the original 6/10
