In truth, what fans of Kick-Ass probably yearned for was a ‘Hit Girl’ movie. This equally playful sequel ticks lots of right boxes (violence, foul-mouthed language, dark humour) but ultimately feels rather scattershot and disjointed, perhaps quite simply because it lacks the sheer left-field originality of Kick-Ass…while the filmmakers are trying to develop their characters, in truth it is at its best when it is simply replaying (or maybe remaking) the over-the-top action moments of its predecessor. With its gleefully irreverent take on superheroes, violence, language and girl-power, 2010’s Kick-Ass turned out to be a real cult movie guilty pleasure as well as a box office hit.
