Went to see The Incredible Hulk today in a brand new theater in my home state (IMAX included, can you believe it? ), and I enjoyed the film just as much as I enjoyed our new theater. Haha.
Seriously, this one was a thousand times better than Ang Lee's film (which had its moments, but the Hulk looked too much like Shrek). Edward Norton was perfect casting for Bruce Banner, due to his normal, lanky physique and history in playing characters with troubled alter egos. The villain was even a great choice--The Abomination--because of the way he overmatched Hulk in strength (and Tim Roth did great as Emil Blonsky, even if the origin did seem to stray from the comics a little to suit Roth's real-life British accent).
I know right now that it won't make as much as Iron Man did last month, but it definitely did something that we hoped Ang Lee's film would do in 2003, and that's give us a real monster of a superhero.
EDIT: Did anyone catch that cameo by Grover from Sesame Street? The MARVELOUS Muppets is going global, people! It's happening!
