My lame Kick-Ass 2 review

I saw Kick-Ass 2 tonight.

If you haven't seen Kick-Ass, here is all you need to know: It goes there.

If Kick-Ass 2 were a tree, the roots would be violence, the branches would be sadness and the leaves at the end would be comedy. Oh, and the tree's name would be Badass, because that's what the movie is overall.

The movie has managed to created its own genre...Vi-sad-edy. (I just made that up, but feel free to start referring to Kick-Ass flicks as vi-sad-eddies, the way How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days is referred to as a rom-com.)

So don't be thrown off by the knee-slapper that is the preview for the movie.
It ain't all sunshine and kids dressed up in costumes pretending to be superheroes only to discover that they are ordinary heroes or some shit.

People die and get brutally hurt. But Aaron Johnson takes his shirt off so maybe that is reason enough to get your booty to the movies and see this one-of-a-kind movie. Mmm, Aaron Johnson.
