Fresh, innovative and brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (22 February 2013)

Not being a super-hero fan when I first watched this film I wasn't expecting much despite the positive reviews. Any doubts I had were quickly expelled. Right from the off this film hooks you in with an unbelievable mixture of comedy, action and violence.
This film has a very good cast and there isn't a duff character or performance throughout the film from the leads right down to the minor characters.
It's an almost insanely violent film but it's all done in such a comedic comic book style that you almost forget you really shouldn't be enjoying it.
I have watched this film quite a few times now and it bears up well to repeated viewings which to me is a sign of a great film. This is an ambitious and brave film which could have been a dud but instead ends up an undeniable triumph. Simply one of the best films you could ever wish to see.
