So good it almost hurts

Rating: 9/10 (29 August 2019)

This is the first movie that I saw that made me want to watch comic book movies. It's absolutely frightening how fun it is to watch. The characters are incredibly memorable, the story is interesting, the way that supernatural characters interact with a real and believeable world around them is incredible. It's done in a way that permits humour to be used without breaking the tension when it's needed.
One of my all time favorites. If you think about it, it's incredible that you actually feel for a giant red guy with horns, a blue fish-man and some giant walking trees by the end of this movie, without having watched anything like it before-hand. This isn't part of some heavily set up universe like Marvel has done with its movies now. It's a completely standalone thing and it just works.
