This film has been getting absolutely thrashed at Rotten Tomatoes. Frankly, it's not as good as the orignal, lacking some of the zany fun.. and it tries to reel itself in far too often. But when it gives up and just goes with the crazy moments, it does work.
I joked with someone that I tend to enjoy films like this more than I should - hell, I enjoyed Mystery Men as an effort to do something goofy.
My big comment would really be this: the film works well when Hit Girl is on the screen. It's pretty slow when she's not. It is definitely a film to see with an audience who will hoot and holler, although I normally avoid that, because it made my viewing experience much more enjoyable... though that's a YMMV.
C+/B-
