But Hit-Girl was homeschooled on the weight-to-velocity rates of bullets. Like the first film, ‘Kick-Ass 2’ pulls the reality of teen life into its fantasy.
The best thing about ‘Kick-Ass’ was Moretz, and Hit-Girl still gets the best lines. He’s now The Motherfucker, wearing his dead mum’s skintight fetish outfits. What lures Hit-Girl out of retirement is Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse). But his toothpaste grin has never been wider as he slices and dices. Carrey has since withdrawn support for ‘Kick-Ass 2’, slamming its ‘level of violence’. Now there’s an amateur league of superheroes, led by Jim Carrey. Aaron Taylor-Johnson is back as Dave Lizewski, the high-school nerd whose only superpower is not dying of shame wearing a green wetsuit on New York’s streets.ĭave’s amateur heroics as Kick-Ass went viral on YouTube and spawned a generation of have-a-go avengers. Now 15 and starting high school, she has promised to hang up the nunchucks for good. You’ll still be laughing, but where ‘Kick-Ass’ giggled at action cliches, this sometimes slips into them.īig Daddy (Nicolas Cage) is dead and Hit-Girl (Chloë Moretz) has been adopted by his old cop partner. The slightly disappointing sequel is less anarchic and more slick. Back then, ‘Kick-Ass’ exploded like a grenade of brattish energy and ultraviolence. It’s three years since Hit-Girl first kapowed on to the screen, letting rip the C-word at a room full of drug dealers before taking them out with a shiny new butterfly knife.
