I wonderful superhero beats villain, escapist film done with humour and plenty of action. Bruce Willis is unsurpassed in this genre, Samuel Jackson gives it an extra dimension mainly just more fun. Some bits are a little incongruous and it is hardly original but an excellent way of unwinding, should have one for every Friday.
I love a Bruce Willis film. Escapist, macho, humorous, happy ending rubbish. There is no defending them against someone who doesn't enjoy them, like someone who reads Mills and Boon romantic novels. It is utter twaddle but you cannot fail to be uplifted by them. The addition of Samuel sneering Jackson gives Bruce a perfect stooge. Jeremy Irons does not do a mean arch-enemy with much style, this was a disappointment, may be he tried too hard. It was too much Shakespeare and too little pantomime. The plot involves Bruce and Samuel rushing round meeting insane demands. Lots of tension, drama and silliness. Loved it.
