Kick Ass arrived in theaters back in 2010 and brought with it a subversive blast of vulgarity and bloody action. It was a movie that acted as a deconstruction of the superhero movie, offering a different perspective on the idea of a regular person putting on a costume and playing the role of vigilante. We were faced with watching what was essentially anarchy, eagerly cheering on children whose childhood had been taken from them. It was an interesting movie that touched on some worthy topics. Now, the sequel has arrived and has taken the interesting bits of the first and turned it into generic slop.
