Oops - My bad. I was so excited to review this film that I linked the wrong forum. Don't get me started on how all movies eventually become DVD (or Blu-Ray) so I think there should be one movie section.
I guess when I watch a film I already think "this is scripted bullshit" and cannot immerse myself into the medium. What I immerse myself in is the pretense of the film. This allows me to enjoy the dialogue, cinematography, composition and color of the on-screen action.
So I will edit my critique for those interested in story and cohesion.
This film is a mess. A glorious, glorious mess. It makes no sense and has plot holes you could drive a convoy of trucks through. It is basically a live-action cartoon. But if you like clever dialogue, smarmy comedy so dry it makes John Cleese cough, well-shot but pointless action scenes, the occasional jab at serious big-budget movies and are Anglophile enough to understand why pub crawls are important then it is worth the ticket. It does drag in places but the over-the-top scenes make up for the 'chick' parts.
The last film we saw was Iron Man 3 too. The ending was a bit much.
