#Kick ass 2 2013 movie#
And for a movie that supposed to celebrate defending the disenfranchised, it's more than a little bit of a mixed message. The shift from portraying women as kickass crime-fighters to treating them as little more than naked set decoration is enough to give you whiplash. But the wind gets sucked out of it when, no more than five minutes later, there's a largely unnecessary shot of Chris in a pool with two topless women. In one of the film's best moments, the crew (which includes several female heroes) rescues a group of women forced into prostitution and hands the rescued women a bag of money procured from their boss. Stars and Stripes leads the self-styled-hero posse Justice Forever, which Kick-Ass joins after Hit-Girl hangs up her purple wig. (Her deadpan response? "Robin wishes he was me.") The sequel picks up where that film left off-albeit a few years later-as Dave tries to recruit his former accomplice Hit-Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz) to become the Robin to his Batman.
Kick-Ass 2, out Friday, is director Jeff Wadlow's follow-up to the 2010's film about a young vigilante named Dave (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) who transforms himself into the spandexed hero called Kick-Ass and brings down a crime boss–who, unbeknownst to him, just happened to be the father of fellow aspiring hero Chris D'Amico/Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse). Except in the world of Kick-Ass, the relentless emphasis on hyper-"real" hyper-violence can be so overpowering, the people in the audience often feel like the ones who need saving.īut more on her later. At its core is the familiar tale of many great comic-book heroes, from Spider-Man to the X-Men: outcasts who discover their true power and become defenders of the disenfranchised, fighting for those who can't fight for themselves. Kick-Ass 2, much like its predecessor, is ostensibly about young crime-fighters who save themselves by saving others.
