PRO Reviews


It's funny, action-packed and self-effacing at the right moments: Kick-Ass 2 just may have taken a boot to every other hero hoping to be the top dog on the big screen this year.
(Mark Ellis, Schmoes Know)
It's a smart, edgy, unpredictable action-comedy, the tonal opposite of overwrought sculptures like Man of Steel.
(Rafer Guzman, Newsday)
A gutsy surprise. It’s a tad blunter in execution and much less visually ambitious than its predecessor, but incomer Wadlow keeps energy levels crisp and characterization vibrant... In a summer of bummers, this one actually gets it right.
(Daniel Kelly, efilmcritic.com)
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.
(Owen Williams, Empire)
Though riddled with issues - and not quite as ingenious as the first - it makes for incredibly fun viewing.
(Stefan Pape, HeyUGuys)
