PLOT
After the death of D'Amico in the first film, his son Chris (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) decides to leave the life of Red Mist behind and make a new start with the alias The Motherf**ker with one aim, to kill Kick-Ass (Aaron Taylor-Johnson). In the mean time Kick-Ass teams up with a group of Kick-Ass-insired "heroes" as they each try to clean the city of villains. To make the matters worse, Hit-Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz), the only one that could actually throw a punch, retires, so Kick-ass and the followers stand alone against the new supervillain and his henchmen. Will Hit-Girl let the group stand alone in their quest or will she put on the purple cape once again and reclaim her place?

REVIEW
The sequel to the 2010 superhero action-comedy Kick-Ass is well executed, full of fast paced action, stylishly, ironically ridiculous fight scenes and scornful comedy. Movie has an alright premise. Even though you approximately know what to expect, it's still enjoyable and fun to watch. Furthermore, dialogs seems real, Chloë Grace Moretz is the perfect Hit-Girl and whole cast did a solid job. I was definitely pleasantly surprised. Thrilling and entertaining! 4/5
