The filmmakers borrow from virtually every comic-book movie ever made while retaining a smug sense of superiority toward the genre (one throwaway line mocks Stan Lee fan boys). "Arriving at the tail end of blockbuster season, this cheaply produced sequel to the surprise 2011 hit arrives in plenty of time to claim the title of the year’s most unpleasant movie. The art direction is unimaginative and flat, and the performances run the gamut from flat and uninspired to screeching, overmodulated bush league garbage," notes Bob Grimm rather grimly in Tuscon Weekly. "Kick-Ass 2 is a shrill, abrasive, truly disgusting misfire from a director without a clue. Whats worse? Critics have kicked the film's ass in their reviews. Jeff Wadlow's Kick-Ass 2 has failed to deliver exactly what its title promises, it just doesn't kick ass. A sequel to the widely popular Kick-Ass, this film had a lot of expectations riding on it.
