It's a difficult to not like Will Smith in some way or other. Supposedly the Nicest Guy in Hollywood, his amiability and thespy capability has made him a relatively safe pair of hands that can be entrusted with pretty much any kind of mainstream blockbuster. Problem is, his glass-half-full persona has led him down a path of increasing predictability, which is why Hancock could have been an intriguing IMDB entry for him.

Muhammad Ali was an arsehole. It's not something that you ever hear, but that's the unavoidable conclusion of John Dower's cracking documentary. Long a sporting icon, a role model to millions and a symbol of man's ability to overcome the greatest of obstacles, here he's portrayed as a treacherous ego-maniac philanderer, willing to stop at nothing, to stoop to any depth, to achieve his aims, and a man who allowed himself to be used and manipulated for other people's political agendas.

During this tricky period, where the gods of DVD release scheduling have set me on a comic-based review decathlon, I remarked that these films need to strive to create a distinct tone to prevent them from becoming a blur. While The Incredible Hulk didn't really hit that mark, in Iron Man we have a bang-on-the-money case of them getting it right. By contextualising Iron Man within current affairs, using a strong and more worldly cast and pushing away from the fantasy into slightly more techie realism, the film reaches towards a crowd that would be more comfortable with the Bourne films.

Following closely behind Daniel Craig slipstream in the Brits-do-Hollywood steeplechase, James McAvoy does his mainstream profile no harm at all in this blistering big-budget outing. Brushing over the fact that Wanted is adapted from a comic, let's merely note that it draws on the larger-than-life dynamism that comics have to offer, rather than the increasingly prevalent grandiose spandex freak fests we're growing ever more accustomed to.
