I bought this bec...ause I absolutely love Aaron Taylor-Johnson, so any time he is on the screen, the movie is great. I took off one star because many of the scenes are unnecessarily violent with no element of fun, unlike the first Kick-Ass. I especially disliked the street scene where lots of police are killed. Totally pointless. At least I can fast-forward to the good parts. Reviewing the Blu-ray itself, it looks great and has some pretty cool special features, so it was definitely worth the mon

Engaging sequel even though the first scenes were dis...appointing, it picked up later. The school cafe scene was hilarious, but I would have opted for a different ending....romanic union perhaps between Kick-Ass and Hit Girl?

...Kick Ass 2 is pretty much like the first Kick Ass movie. A lot of action mixed with violence and goofy humor. There is more characters in this movie and the action is just as good. Acting wise a few people steal the show from the stars of the first movie. Jim Carrey plays Colonel Stars and Stripes a former Mob hemchman turned masked super hero/born again christian. Now we all know that Jim didn't want to promote this picture because of the violence and don't get me started on that and I feel that might have hurt the movies box office performance here in America but I still think he steals every scene he is in. The down point on that is that there is very few scenes with him. Another new character this time on the bad side called Mother Russia is just great. The way she hunts and kills anything that gets in her way truly had the you on the edge of your seat. I wished she was in the movie a lot more. The leads like Kick Ass and Hit Girl are still great in this movie and Hit Girl really gets a lot of character development in this which is a good thing. I have to say I did miss seeing Nic Cage as Big Daddy in this movie. I think he really helped the first movie rise to that epic level when he gets killed off leaving his daughter alone and out for revenge. So as I do not think it is as good as the first movie I think it came very close to it. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone looking for some good entertainment
Jim Carrey was amazing in this film, seemed like genu...ine good guy and was badass in fighting as well.
