The superhero film that isn't about superheroes. This film was clearly written by a guy that wanted to take the piss out of X-men and the green lantern.

Most of us were unfortunate enough to watch the green lantern and it was awful. Seeing how Ryan Reynolds can be in a good film, when he has a much cooler character to play and generally gets to be better than the green lantern is wonderful.

What makes this film so great? Let's start with the opening sequence, no actors just comments that we all want to put on the opening scene of a film but never do because it is unprofessional. Then you've got the typically British enemy who is wonderful. The character of Wade Wilson plays on all Ryan Reynolds annoying habits like talking all the time and not really being able to pull off romcoms because there isn't enough sex in it or fighting. The choice of music was fairly good as well and so many of the references just had us all laughing loudly in the cinema.

Thumbs up if you noticed the typical Stan Lee cameo as the strip club DJ.

My only criticism is that I wasn't sure that it was suited to the 15 rating that it received. I think of love actually- a film with a lot of unnecessary sex scenes in it and that was a 15. This film didn't have as many but i remember reading the description that they put underneath the ratings before the film began and it didn't actually say 'contains sex scenes and lots of nudity'. It probably had the nuditiy in it but it didn't have the thing about sex, it just said sex references. Some 15 year olds can handle that kinda stuff but others can't and just think that the rating is because of the vast amounts of violence and choice of language. What are your views on this? Am i the only one on this?

The only other thing that got on my nerves was colossus being Russian. I know that X-men are trying to move away from the films the were originally created with Patrick Stewart but if a character is created then for continuity you need to at least go with someone with the same accent. Colossus was not Russian in those films and should not be Russian in this film. People do notice and it does ruin the character of Colossus slightly. Apart from that it was all good and great fun!
