Synopsis
After Kick-Ass’ insane bravery inspires a new wave of self-made masked crusaders, he joins a patrol led by the Colonel Stars and Stripes. When these amateur superheroes are hunted down by Red Mist — reborn as The Mother Fucker — only the blade-wielding Hit-Girl can prevent their annihilation.

Village Voice
The most welcome change is the tone. Wadlow has decided he's making a straight-up comedy, and he demonstrates a knack for it. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
The film delivers almost exactly what fans of the first installment are hoping for. - 60
Time Out London
The best thing about ‘Kick-Ass’ was Moretz, and Hit-Girl still gets the best lines. Like the first film, Kick-Ass 2 pulls the reality of teen life into its fantasy. - 60
Empire
A more modest success than the first "Kick-Ass," but still of-a-piece with its scurrilous predecessor. Nobody flies a jet-pack up a skyscraper this time, but Kick-Ass 2 still has its share of over-the-top action, and the sweary laughs are just about intact. - 60
Total Film
A fun if sporadically schizoid return to one of the brighter, brasher comic-bookers of recent years. - 60
Variety
As diverting as this action-packed caper often is, it feels not just weightless but emotionally and morally stunted whenever it veers into grown-up dramatic territory. - 50
McClatchy-Tribune News Service
That makes Kick Ass 2 more sour than sweet, a movie that jokes about comic book fanboys but stops short of mocking them the way the first film did. - 50
The Playlist
The crime isn’t that Kick-Ass 2 is vulgar (which it is), but that it’s for so little gain.
