Vote for KICK ASS at The European Film Awards!

Kick Ass is nominated for the People's Choice Award at The European Film Awards 2010.

First up, here is a review from Cineuropa from a young contributer!flowerface

Kick-Ass (2010)
Super-heroic stuff

We are delighted to welcome talented young author Eleanor Salter to the fold, with her take on the latest comic-book adaptation, which is in the selection list for the People's Choice Awards
2010.


By now, nearly everyone must have seen or heard of Kick-Ass (2010) via its
clever advertising and the famous actors in the cast, and the hype leading up to
the release of one of the biggest films of the year was well worth it. The actors include Aaron Johnson ( Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging (2008)), Nicolas Cage ( Ghost Rider (2007),
World Trade Center (2006)), Mark Strong ( Stardust (2007), Sherlock Holmes (2009)) and 13-year-old Chloë Grace Moretz ( (500) Days of Summer (2009), Bolt (2008)).

It’s a film for anyone who’s a fan of gory comedy, action and slightly awkward romance – a very
impressive take by actor-director Matthew Vaughn on the famous comics by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr. The storyline revolves around comic geek
Dave Lizewski (Johnson) who aspires to be a real-life superhero. Despite the
innocent motive behind his schemes, ‘Kick-Ass’ soon gets caught up with REAL superheroes, who kick ass
cooler than he could have dreamed.

Hit-Girl (Moretz) and Big Daddy (Cage) aren’t there to mess around, they’re trying to take out big-shot gangster Frank D’Amico
(Mark Strong). Kick-Ass is now a wanted man but manages to get caught up in
romance whilst still trying to keep his identity a secret! With some phoneys,
torture, revenge and a massive bazooka, the end of the film sees Kick Ass
discovering not only his true self, but also that normal human beings really CAN
kick ass.

I enjoyed the film hugely and couldn’t stop laughing – the gory humour could easily have been extreme but was played in such a way that I wanted even more!
I found Aaron Johnson’s performance very impressive and, despite the nerdy weakness of his character, I managed to
leave the cinema without hating him.

It is definitely a movie I would recommend you watch, just for Chloe
Moretz’s humour. Although young, she is extremely experienced and her
performance here reflects what we can expect from her in the future. Watch
Kick Ass . You won’t regret it.
