Straight off the bat: this movie features more shots of muscle-bound men looking up at the camera and yelling "RAAWWWRGH!" than any other I can remember. It's the shoutiest film of the year.

You won't be upset you saw it, you'll have some fun, you'll see Wolvie beat the living hell out of a helicopter.
