Brief Synopsis:
Hit-Girl and Kick-Ass return, but this time they are not alone. Inspired by their exploits, a new wave of wannabe super heroes have emerged. Led by the noble Colonel Stars and Stripes, they are called Justice Forever!
Together, they will discover what it really means to be real super heroes in the real world as they face off against the world's first super villain and his army of evil. It is an epic tale of consequences, escalation and destiny.

Intention:
Bionic Bob fan edits Kick-Ass 2 into a tighter focused story that is more true to classic comic book conventions. The good guys are more heroic and the bad guys are more villainous.
In this version, while Kick-Ass and Hit-Girl struggle to come to terms with their destiny, The Motherf@#ker embraces his immediately -- he likes being evil!

Additional Notes:
This fan edit incorporates deleted scenes. These scenes have had some color correction work done to make them less jarringly different from the main feature but they are not perfectly matched. Hopefully the content of the these scenes will enhance the story and not detract from your viewing pleasure.

Kick-Ass 2 was a lousy movie in theaters. This fan-edit turns it into a slightly faster paced lousy movie. The script still sucks. Chloe Grace Moretz is still wasted for way too much of the movie in a lame Mean Girls knock-off. Christopher Mintz-Plasse is still a pathetic excuse for a villain. This version is less jokey than the original cut but it still doesn't work as an action film (there's only one good action sequence in the whole movie) or as a riff on superhero flicks. This is the movie that killed the Kick-Ass franchise--it can't be fixed with some band-aids.

Excellent, excellent job.
I enjoyed Kick-Ass and thought Kick-Ass 2 was a respectable sequel. bionicbob managed to tighten it up and improve on the sequel.
There were just a couple of minor issues I had with this edit. As others have mentioned, I did noticed the color issue and the Night Bitch fade to black didn't work for me.
Video and audio quality were good but I echo matthew1965's sentiment that " it was a tad blurry, even for DVD"
Technical stuff aside this is a great edit and a replacement for the theatrical version (at least for me!)
Nice work bionicbob!

Another excellent Bionic Bob fanedit! Kick-Ass 2 was a decent sequel but Bob has made it better! The only thing that stood out to me was the way you recut MF robbing the corner store. I liked that his buffoonery was removed but it felt out of place due to starting in the middle of the scene and exiting immediately. But that's a minor complaint.
If you loved Kick-Ass 1 and haven't watched the sequel yet, go straight for this version.

I cannot overstate what an amazing edit this is. You have given this film so much heart and soul, I am stunned. Almost every major character in this film has a story arc and you have given The Colonel his much deserved love. Although I am removing a few points for the one off-color frame and for the Night Bitch fade to black, I am giving the narrative and enjoyment all 10's. I would absolutely LOVE an HD version! Thank you Bionic Bob for rescuing this movie!
