To that end, he recruits an army of mercenaries, gives them racist supervillain names like Gengis Carnage and swears revenge on Kick-Ass. But the sociopathic son of the last film’s big bad guy, Chris D’Amico (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), aims to be the world’s first “real” supervillain. The streets are just filthy with powerless, lame superheroes using spandex and stun batons to plug the sportscar-shaped hole in their midlife crisis. Since we last left Dave Lizewski, aka Kick-Ass (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), the world’s first “real” superhero, the idea has spread like herpes at the resorts where they film those MTV competition shows. But is it better to flinch from the vile, reprobate, misogynistic glee of Millar’s comic miniseries or to be a limp, confused juvenile offender, flipping off passing cars and then running away when they stop?

Writer/director Jeff Wadlow’s Kick-Ass 2 is “morning radio shock jock” offensive, which is a thematic departure from the source material written by Mark Millar.
