As is so often the case with sequels, unfortunately this one too is a bit of a let down. Do not get me wrong, it is still good but lacks the originality and vibrancy of the first one; the panache and verve so to speak. However, if the aim of the two films was merely to introduce the comic book series, I'd say it succeeded adequately.
This one takes place four years later. Both Dave (Aaron Johnson) and Mindy (Chloe Grace Moretz) decided to hang up their super hero suits to try and lead normal teenage lives. But neither of them finds it easy. So, when a super villain, Mother F****r (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) appears on the scene with a whole army of villains, they are only to glad to be dragged back into the battle between good and evil to do what they do best.
In this movie, Jim Carrey makes an almost unrecognizable appearance as Colonel Stars and Stripes. However, he is unable to carry it to the same heights as did Nicolas Gage in the first one. The fight scenes are still spectacular but, like the rest of the movie, it lacks pizazz; it's much more fun to see the baddies get beat up by an eleven year old than a sixteen year old. In the end, though, it is still good enough to earn 3 out of 5 stars from me.
