I dont know if this is good or bad news. First

Only bad news here is that you said "first".  :)

 I thought I'd read a couple of days ago that this wasn't going through, unless things have changed... just checked google news & it seems that the director of the movie, Jeff Wardlow, and Mark Millar made the following tweets (from The Guardian):

"6 days till we start shooting… and we officially have our Colonel. Alrighty f'n then," tweeted Wadlow, using one of Carrey's catchphrases. Millar later tweeted that the actor playing Colonel Stars "lives with 200 raccoons and parrots, owns the mask of Loki and [was] named by Spielberg as a genius". Those comments reference, respectively, Carrey's roles in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and The Mask, and a spat with Steven Spielberg in 1995 that ended with the director praising the Canadian actor.

Wasn't wowed by the first but still enjoyed it. Maybe since I haven't and don't intend on reading the second KA series I'll enjoy this one better.

Oh yeah and getting Carrey on board is a huge plus. This went from no enthusiasm to middling

Wise-I am seriously wowed that you were not wowed by the first Kick Ass.... =^O

And i agree, Jim Carrey being on this film is perfect for both him, and the film. I really think a movie like this could jumpstart his career back again in a big way.

well the movie changed the ending and story alot around the comic book was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better then the movie!

another stupid generation y franchise, y as i n y do you exist. generation x is the best.

 This could be a great thing if not all Carrey-ied up, like he did when he played "Riddler", lol..

Phantom, why don't you add "Get off my lawn!" while you're at it, fool?

Most of the changes in the movie can be tweaked with little contunity errors for the second. I will admit comic leaps and bounds better then the movie. What i really want to know is how have they not recast hit girl? She has grown way to much.

The second comic tries to be a sort of Empire Strikes back. I think this movie is somewhat doomed. While i will go see it the first one was borderline. Meaning this one if not perfect will seem like some cheap knockoff.
