The Incredible Hulk

So I saw "The Incredible Hulk" yesterday. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The previous fiasco (which I liked only because I went in determined to do so) has been totally forgotten (good) and the Hulk's origin retold in flashbacks.

What was better:

• The CGI. The Hulk and the Abomination both looked awesome
• Edward Norton. Eric Bana sucks
• The action. There was a lot more of it, and it kicked ass.
• Actual villains from the comic book. 'Nuff said

What was worse:

• No Jennifer Connelly. Liv Tyler sucks

What was really cool was that the villain for the sequel was revealed, but you'd have to be a follower of the old Hulk comics to catch it. All I'll say is that it's a classic Hulk villain who hasn't been seen in the comic book for several years.

Bonus:

• Cameo by Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark

Suspension of disbelief stretch:

• I cannot (CANNOT) believe that Lou Ferrigno (or anyone who looks like him) eats pizza

I saw "Ironman" when it came out, but, since I have never been a big fan of the character, all I will say is that the movie was pretty good. Replace "Ironman" with "Indiana Jones" and you have my opinion of that movie, too.

I'm looking forward to some upcoming releases.

• "Get Smart" I loved that show when I was little. If anyone can fill Don Adams' shoephone, it's Steve Carell. Here's hoping
• "Hancock" I like Will Smith. I like comic book superheroes. This movie looks really funny. I'm there
• "The Dark Knight" Well, duh

Later,
