The story of un-super-powered people
who dress up
as super-heroes and super-villains and then clobber each other,
along with clobbering and getting clobbered by plenty of people who
don't bother dressing up at all. Interestingly, the movie has the
characters as much more sexually active than the comic does. It helps
that the actors who play the characters are considerably older than
the characters who appear in the comic. It's much easier to see that
their hormones are raging.
There was a discussion recently about
books versus their movie versions, how movies have to take 200 to 300
pages and squeeze the contents down into an hour and a half movie and
how much gets lost in the translation. Kick-Ass 2 was written and
drawn with the movie version in mind, but the similar, heavily visual
language of the comics and the movies also helped to make the movie
greatly resemble the comic.
And, of course, there's a Kick-Ass
wikia.
