  • 'Kick-Ass 2' Review: A Fun Sequel That Continually Trips Over Itself

    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,…

  • An Uncredited Rewrite Made Hit-Girl Less Masculine For 'Kick-Ass 2'

    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. In the first film, she's a foul-mouthed killing machine who loves nothing more than her father and justice. In Kick-Ass 2, she's forced to bury that spirit to assimilate to the social life…

  • Watch Tons Of New Scenes In 10 Minutes Of 'Kick-Ass 2' B-Roll

    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)…

  • 'Kick-Ass 2' Extended Red Band Trailer Plus Panel Coverage [Comic-Con 2013]

    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…

  • 'Kick-Ass 2' Red-Band International Trailer: Little New Footage, Better Effects

    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…

  • 'Kick-Ass 2' All-Ages Trailer: Once More, Without The F-Bombs

    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…

  • Here's The First Official Image From 'Kick-Ass 2'

    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. Kick-Ass is just a guy with no powers and the will to stop crime. The little superhero that starred in Matthew…
