The two major things missing from Kick-Ass 2 constitute the two major problems with an otherwise decent sequel. Those things are Matthew Vaughn and Jane Goldman. Vaughn, who directed Kick-Ass in 2010, is an incredibly talented director. Goldman, who wrote the first film, is a fantastic screenwriter. They both return as producers this time around,…

While Kick-Ass and Red Mist haven't really changed a lot between Kick-Ass and Kick-Ass 2, Hit-Girl is like a whole new person.

If there was one upside to the first Kick-Ass 2 trailer being a bit underwhelming, it's that the marketing has had nowhere to go but up. The film's looked better and better with each successive trailer, and the one that hit at Comic-Con was the most badass (or kick-ass, if you want to go there)…

In the previous trailers for Kick-Ass 2, something seemed to be missing. This is most certainly a sequel to Matthew Vaughn’s film, sure. All the characters are there; the story is a continuation of the first chapter; and new heroes and villains are introduced. Yet something felt off. Writer/director Jeff Wadlow came into San Diego…

There's a new red-band trailer for Jeff Wadlow's Kick-Ass 2, and while the edit features only a shred of new footage, it does feature some better digital compositing and probably closer-to-final contrast tweaks and color grading to help elements co-exist. Notably, the bit towards the end with Hit Girl riding atop a cargo van now looks…

If you've watched the red-band trailer for Jeff Wadlow's Kick-Ass 2, this new all-ages version isn't going to do much for you. This is really just the red-band trailer with all the most offensive stuff cut out. So there's a bit less footage of the character played by Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and a bit more of Kick-Ass…

Jeff Wadlow's superhero sequel, Kick-Ass 2, is one of the many sequels being released in 2013 people are forgetting about. When he's put up against Superman, Iron Man and Thor, it makes sense though.
