Kicka__ 2
Was great to see the next Kick-A-- movie, it has all the special sites to keep you on end of your seat. The storyline continues from the first Kickass movie showing the cruel crime family trying to get Revenge for the loss of their father.

Rounds Out A Nice Double Feature
I really enjoy this movie. The character development really continued well from the first movie. I mean, in Kick-A they basically changed the way the world works by introducing regular folks acting as super heroes. So you want to see how that grows. Rarely do you get to see those kinds of results. However, in Kick-A 2 we get just that. The nice thing is this movie doesn't try to replicate jokes from the first film. It does reference previous events though. I've only heard one person complain about this one, but by her own admission she's kinda critical. However, everybody in my house loves it. It has the same great feels and wit of the first and fits in great. Will there be a 3rd? Who knows. Do we need one? It's not necessary, this makes a nice conclusion to many of the storylines and makes you feel good about where it leaves you. The only bad part is when you do a review you can't use the actual movie title because in contains "inappropriate language"?
This film is a good, but not great, follow up to 2010 original film. Seeing the fallout of KA's original outing and the rise of other masked crime fighters was an excellent place to go with the story. Aaron Taylor-Johnson does a fine job playing Dave Lizewski/KA, the Peter Parker-esque hero. Chloe Grace Moretz also is good as Hit-Girl, but Hit-Girl's role in the film suffers from being out of character from who Hit-Girl was portrayed in the first film, and then a predictable progression to an obvious outcome. There were also some very funny performances from Jim Carrey, Clark Duke, and Donald Faison. Christopher Mintz-Plasse's villainous turn never really was threatening, and never as strong a presence as Mark Strong was in the first film. Olga Kurkulina's Mother Russia though certainly was fitting as the evil enforcer. All in all, there is a lot to like about this film, but there are also a lot of flaws that keep it from any kind of greatness.
