The Incredible Hulk is second of Mavel Comics summer movies. It stars Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, Tim Roth and William Hurt. The movie is not a sequel to Ang Lee movie that was released in 2003…and thank god for that. Lee’s vision of the Hulk was ass. He did not bother reading of even looking at the source material for the character. Lee decided that the Hulk was about the relationship between a father and his son….The Hulk, Mr. Lee it’s a FUCKING JEKYLL AND HYDE STORY. This movie barrows from not only the comics, but it also gives a giant shot out to the T.V series as well. Which is great. Lou Ferrigno not only gets a minor role in the movie but also does the voice of the Hulk. Which by the way fucking rules…they had the Hulk talk. He is not quoting the bard but he say “HULK SMASH”!!! That is why I went to the movie in the first place.
This is not a thought provoking movie…it is about the Incredible fucking Hulk!! Do not go to this movie expecting some earth moving experience. If you go into thinking I am going to see a cool comic book movie you will be happy. This movie would be on most nerds top ten list if it had come out last year. But unfortunately it came out the same summer as Iron Man…oh Robert Downey Jr. shows up as Tony Stark….so fucking sweet. And that is the problem. Iron Man was so awesome that most superhero movies are going to look like butt compared to it. That is what kinda sucked for The Incredible Hulk. The movie is a solid B+ but because it came out in the same summer as Iron Man, which raised the bar on the genre.
Go see The Incredible Hulk, get some pop corn and have some fun. Watch the big green guy kick ass and take names. Watch Ed Norton put on a great performance…ignore Liv Tyler, she sucked….hot yes but she sucked.

I enjoyed this version of the Hulk a lot. I really like that, finally, the comic book movies are starting to tie-in with one another.
Just a few more characters and then it will be time for the Avengers. But which group and who will they include?
I just hope that Thor is next…that would be sweet!
Right now the schedule is Another Iron Man, then Ant-man, the Captain America, then Thor. Then they do the Avengers. They may also try to get spider-man and Wolverine into the movie. They are both now members of the Avengers.
I’ll disappointed if they do add Spider-man and Wolverine to an Avengers movie on the flimsy excuse that they happened to served on the team at one point of the team’s long history.
Just because Spider-man and Wolverine = $$$ does not mean they should insert said characters in there just to see the box office rise. Why not throw Cable or Apocalypse in the X-movies? They could easily do one of those great Rob Liefield stories from the 90’s! (eeww!)
Why not toss Black Panther and Storm in the next Fantastic Four movie? They could recreate that scene where Black Panther(seriously) threatens to tear Silver Surfer’s arm off with an arm bar. (are you friggen kidding me??)
No, any first Avengers movie should be the 5 original Avengers plus Cap for the storyline to make it interesting. I guess it really depends on how overt Marvel Entertainment wants to be about being whores to almighty dolla’.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ll wait in line to see their movies and blow $10 at the consession stand alone just like a good comic nerd should. It’s not going to stop me from calling them for what they are.
