The only criticism I have of the film in respect of his character is that he does not get as much screen time as he deserves. Carrey swaggers across the screen with his heavy wise guy New York accent providing some of the film’s best lines as well as featuring in two of the best scenes, one being the introduction to Justice Forever and the other being an assault on a pimping operation. As an ex-mob enforcer, now born again Christian and masked crusader Colonel Stars and Stripes. The biggest new casting addition to the film is Jim Carrey and I am pleased to say he is excellent. Mindy mentors Dave in vigilante heroics and vice versa with Dave trying to advise Mindy on the perils of High school.ĭave and Mindy work it out! Chloe Grace Moretz and Aaron Taylor-Johnson both shine in their roles. Aaron Taylor-Johnson also performs well in his return to the title role and the relationship between the two leads is one of the strongest aspects of the film. Chloe Grace Moretz again proves to be one of Hollywood’s most promising young actors and as Mindy / Hit Girl she plays the insecure teenager and the pint sized crime fighter, superbly in equal measure. Watching Mindy try to navigate her way through high school’s bitchy in-crowd is fun despite the pay off to it being fairly lazy. I thoroughly enjoyed Kick Ass 2 there is a lot to like about it. Meanwhile his old companion Chris D’Amico previously Red Mist has reinvented himself as The Motherfucker and is recruiting an evil army in order to kill Kick Ass and avenge the death of his father, whom Kick Ass killed in the previous film. With Hit Girl out of crime fighting, Dave suits back up as Kick Ass and joins Justice Forever, a collective of wanna-be superheroes lead by Colonel Stars and Stripes. However, Mindy is having her own problems, her guardian Marcus, ex-detective and partner of her father, has made her promise to quit her life as Hit Girl and in addition to this she is unsuccessfully trying to integrate herself into normal teenage life. Set sometime after the events of the first film, Dave Lizewski has hung up his Kick Ass costume but still yearns to become a proper superhero, so he gets his former vigilante ally Mindy Macreasy AKA Hit Girl, to train him. However unlike the previously mentioned films, Kick Ass 2 is set in a more realistic world that poses the question What if somebody was to becomes a real life superhero? Unfortunately though, it is this aspect that causes the film to trip over itself.
