The Incredible Hulk Movie? It May Actually Be Good!

I've now read two reviews of the new Hulk movie that's going to debut next weekend, both written by "genre" critics (in other words, people who know something about comics, as well as movies) and both were very, very positive. One claimed that this one's as good as Iron Man - high praise, indeed! - and the other said it was in the same class as that recent gem. With all of the news about supposed clashes between Ed Norton and the studio (no, not The Studio!), perhaps some of us have drawn unwarranted conclusions about the quality of the work itself.

All of a sudden I'm a lot more interested in going to the theatre to see The Incredible Hulk than I used to be. Maybe we'll finally get something to wash away the bad taste left by Ang Lee's crapsterpiece...

I saw Kevin Periera praise it to high heaven, but he does that with things when a)he's seen something in preview, which makes him feel special, and b)when he's face to face with someone involved (this time it was the director). He then will hate it a week later. So I'm taking his praise with a small pickup of salt.

Still...what I have seen does look intriguing. Let's hope.

this new Hulk is a lot more fun than the first one with Eric Bana; plus Ed Norton is in his element, doing the "split personality" role
