And of course we see the return of the foul-mouthed heroine Hit Girl played by the young and talented Chloe Grace Moretz who is a bit…older this time around. He is fun to watch this time around and gives us a lot of the laughs here. Christoper Mintz-Plasse (SUPERBAD) returns as Chris D’Amico who can now be referred to as “The Motherfucker”. He nails his performance and really brings kick-Ass to life. Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Recently cast as Quicksilver in THE AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON) is back and just as good as I remembered as the bumbling yet high spirited Dave Lizewsi. Something I do admire about this film is that all the main players are back. SO yeah, all the right elements are there, but it’s just not as fun this time for some reason. And does the action deliver? Again yes, but not nearly as good as the original or other movies of this ilk (SUPER anyone?). Is is funny? At times (but it’s a little more juvenile this time around). It’s set in a familiar “been there, done that” universe where everyday people without powers become superheroes. I know that’s a horribly vague answer that really means nothing but I swear I can explain if you give me a chance! Dammit give me a chance! Alright, well in short it does have all of the elements I loved about the original, but it all just has a little less…what’s the word, “impact” I suppose. That said, does the sequel KICK-ASS 2 (thank god they dropped the “Balls to the Wall” in the title), directed by Jeff Wadlow (NEVER BACK DOWN), deliver all the goodness of the original!? Yes and no. It’s one of my favorite super-hero films to date and I was eager as a beaver in an abandoned forest to see the next installment. The original KICK-ASS film directed by Matthew Vaughn is an amazingly fun film filled with quirky characters, a great sense of humor, and some twisted yet jaw dropping action sequences.

Moretz has worked with A-list directors such as Martin Scorsese, Tim Burton, Olivier Assayas, and Kimberly Peirce. Moderated by Sundance Film Festival Director John Cooper, the hour-long conversation spanned Moretz’s career, which is quite prolific for someone so young. The 21-year-old actress was in Provincetown to receive the festival’s Next Wave Award. “I kinda wanna keep everyone’s mind in ‘Kick-Ass.’ So I don’t think there will be a ‘Kick-Ass 3,’ at least I don’t think with Hit-Girl in it.” “As much as I love the character of Hit-Girl, I think she lives and survives in ‘Kick-Ass,’ and I kind of want to keep her there,” she said. Moretz said she wants fans to remember Hit-Girl as she was in the first film. Many fans were perplexed that “Kick-Ass 2” ended with a kiss between Hit-Girl and the titular superhero Kick-Ass (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), as the characters had previously shared a more sibling-like relationship, particularly in the first half of the sequel. Because I think we were all kind of looking forward to something a little different than what happened with it all.” “I wish the second one had been handled in a little bit of a different way.
