The violence was ramped up in the sequel, but none of it stands out and actually detracts from the film a bit. Still, Hit Girl was the most entertaining aspect of the film. The Mindy/Hit Girl high school plot was a generic mean girl story that didnРІР‚в„ўt add anything new to the conversation.

There was a certain charm that the original film had in its crude, over-the-top, and violent story, but all that charm was mostly gone in the sequel.

In truth, Kick-Ass 2 just wasnРІР‚в„ўt on par with the first film. LetРІР‚в„ўs dive into the reason that audiences mostly ignored Kick-Ass 2. So, what happened? The first film generated a nice cult following that shouldРІР‚в„ўve resulted in a bigger box office hit. Kick-Ass 2 failed to generate heat and itРІР‚в„ўs safe to say that Kick-Ass 3 will never be greenlit. Though, that number was lackluster compared to the first film, which garnered $96.20 million worldwide. Now, Kick-Ass 2 was far from a complete financial flop as it did manage to recoup its $28 million production budget by ending its run with a total of $60.80 million worldwide. Unfortunately, Kick-Ass 2 was bombarded with negative reviews upon release and stands at a low 32% on rotten tomatoes. Dave teams up with a bunch of amateur superheroes as Red Mist gathers a team to get revenge on the two people who killed his father. Three years later, Kick-Ass 2 saw the return of Dave (Kick-Ass), Mindy (Hit Girl), and Red Mist, with the addition of Jim Carrey as Colonel Stars and Stripes. Kick-Ass took the summer by storm in 2010 Even though the R-rated comic book flick didnРІР‚в„ўt get Marvel numbers, Kick-Ass still made twice its budget so itРІР‚в„ўs only natural that a sequel was confirmed to the popular film.
