This summer the movies are definitely for the nerds. First there was Iron Man, next was The Incredible Hulk, and soon there’ll be Hancock, The Dark Knight, X Files, among many others. I’ll definitely be spending many a hot afternoon in the cool air conditioned theater. Never paying full price, of course. I already stocked up on the movie passes at Costco.
So now I will review The Incredible Hulk….
I know a lot of people thought that it was less then Incredible and I have to strongly disagree. It was a summer popcorn movie and one of Marvel’s better films. I can say it was a million times better then Indiana Jones!
Edward Norton was perfect as Bruce Banner. It was nice to see an actor who isn’t normally an action hero play the role. Reminiscent of Bill Bixby if only because you wouldn’t expect him to turn into the Hulk. It works, ya know. The action was much more intense then in the original and the Hulk looked like the Hulk not some weird cartoony version of said hero. So far I think Stan Lee’s cameo was the best he has done so far though I would have loved to see his eyes turn green.
Yes, I do realize that I don’t really “review” movies. I just kinda go on and on about nothing. So what I am trying to say is if you want a fun movie and you dig comics, go and see the Hulk! It’s worth at least the price of a matinee.

Hey Marvel, thanks for finally getting your act together and making decent comic book movies! We need more films like Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk! It helps me forget about the trash that was The Fantastic Four and Spider-Man 3.
