Overall, Kick-Ass 2 delivers on a smaller scale than its predecessor. Much of the shock-value has dissipated by now, but despite a mostly ho-hum plot and some underdeveloped side-characters and subplots, the main event is still worth the ticket price. Chloe Grace Mortez looks like she’s having the time of her life and she more than supports the weaker aspects of the production with her witty one-liners, perfect timing (dialogue and action) and commanding purple-wigged screen presence. Over violent and purposely offensive, Kick-Ass 2 (much like the original film) won’t be for everyone – but if you’re a fan of comic book fantasy, you’ll be guaranteed some great performances, solid action sequences and plenty of laughs.
