It just wasn't as fresh and new as the original. Kick-Ass faces his greatest threat yet while Hit Girl decides to hang up her tights in this darkly comic sequel. Overall, I liked it, and I'm sure most will. I think they spent a little to much time developing the idea of a group of super hero's and and not enough time developing Kick-Ass & Hit-Girl characters. I felt the actors all did a good job, but the built in humor that came along with an innocent naive Kick-Ass character getting his butt beat, or the irony of a 10 year old foul mouthed girl killing someone with the same zeal she would pursue a boy band with was gone. Storyline: His heroic antics having inspired a citywide wave of masked vigilantes, Kick-Ass (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) joins their ranks to help clean up the streets, only to face a formidable challenge when the vengeful Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) transforms himself into the world's first super villain in this sequel written and directed by Jeff Wadlow (Never Back Down). Then the plot was sort of handicapped by the fact the characters had matured. Unfortunately, I was pretty let down that they didn't spend the money to acquire some interesting/funny/rocking songs for this movie. As the movie was unfolding I kept waiting for some funny/rocking music to play. Movie Details Where to Watch Trailers Full Cast & Crew News Buy DVD. The soundtrack was as important as the characters. R 1 hr 43 min Aug 16th, 2013 Crime, Adventure, Action. Scenes like Hit-Girl whooping ass to Joan Jett's "Bad Reputation", or the old Banana Splits song "Tra La La" Song totally made the first one awesome for me. The first thing I noticed was the lack of a good soundtrack that went with the first movie. Like most sequels, this wasn't as good as the first and it's hard not to make comparisons to the first movie. I loved the first one and have been waiting for this with great anticipation! When I saw it on Comcast On-Demand I immediately rented it.
