Another "Marvel"ous success!

I have to say, I was a fan of Ang Lee’s telling of the Banner/Hulk story. (Being a fan of the comic book since I was a kid helped bolster my enthusiasm.) After numerous viewings of the movie, however, I could see why some were unhappy with the film. Being a fan of the character(s), I looked forward to this new version with anticipation. When I finally saw it, I was not disappointed! First off, the bad news. The movie is not on par with Ironman. But, then again, Ironman set the bar pretty high. And Stark/Ironman is really quite different from Banner/Hulk. Let’s face it - the Hulk is not your typical superhero. Also, I will say, here again, the CGI work, although head and shoulders above the 2003 film, still looks like CGI. Making a man in a metal suit look real is one thing. Making a ten foot green monster look real is another. Also, Lee’s film delved into the emotional and psychological aspects of Banner/Hulk. This movie does not touch on that at all. And now for the good news. For some, because The Incredible Hulk is nothing like Lee’s movie is, in and of itself, good news. This movie takes a more straight forward approach to story-telling which results in very entertaining thrill ride of a movie. Even the actors seem to be having fun. Where Lee’s movie was more heavy and full of angst, Leterrier’s version is lighter and even allows the characters to have moments of comedy. The kind of thing you’d expect from a comic book adaptation! Bottom line: although it isn’t Ironman, it is, without question, a very enjoyable time at the movies.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
