Kick-Ass 2 (2013)

While the original Kick-Ass was novel and transgressive its sequel felt for the most part tired and pointless. Most of the original cast returns, and we have the addition of Jim Carey, in a part that there was no good reason to have Jim Carey play other then to pad the cast with a fading star, a role Nicholas Cage filled in the first film. The 'Mean Girls' type subplot with Chloë Grace Moretz was at least something new, Christopher Mintz-Plasse just seemed sad in this. Towards the end the film seems to be wrapping its franchise up, then second guesses itself and lightly teases another sequel, something which hasn't yet happened, and likely and hopefully will not. *1/2
