Kick-Ass 2 is the second installment (everything turns into a trilogy these days, sigh) in the Kick-Ass series.
We left off in the first, assured that Mindy/Hit Girl and Dave/Kick-Ass were going to become the ultimate team in stopping bad people from doing bad things.
Where her background came from revenge and darkness and his from a good moral compass, we were presented with an interesting duo that had a good purpose and true partnership.
I thought I was going to get an awesome display of teamwork, hot choreographed fight scenes, and some growth from these characters in the second film…
Womp womp…
Kick-Ass 2 is a gratuitously violent gag show.
