I went to see the first Hulk movie a few years ago and was more than a little disappointed. I was a big Hulk fan as a child and really loved the TV show. So when the new movie was coming out, I even read the book. And for me to read a book, that means I was extremely excited.
After reading the book, I was ready for the movie to come out. I loved the story and all it meant, but then I saw Ang Lee’s version of the book and was highly disappointed. I have since gone back and watched it and think it is an okay movie, but not near as good as it could have been.
Last night was redemption. I was excited about seeing Edward Norton in a movie, and as one of my favorite comic book characters nonetheless. Let me just say that it paid off. I really enjoyed the movie which was very exciting for me. It had some really good action sequences, good storyline, good acting, good dialogue, and great special effects. The one thing that took me out of the moment a few times was their stab at humor. A certain amount of humor is fine, and I understand the need for it completely. But I didn’t like how we would be in the middle of a very serious moment or in the middle of action and there be some sort of humor that completely derails the lead-up of the rest of the scene so far.
Overall though, I really liked it and think that when it comes out on Friday, each of you need to go see it. It isn’t as good as Iron Man, but it is definitely a win for comic book movies and in the upper tier of those like it.
