This flick had the old smell of Stan Lee's Ben Gay all over it ( Which is Awesome!) This is a dream come true with all of the right players in place and whats better than a comic book storyline? One adapted to modern day cinema. Mr. Stark is great, I mean Robert Downey Jr is awesome. I cant even find a word for the special effects, and seamless integration with CGI. I need to see this again ,BY MY SELF! All the yelling in the theater is a bit nerve racking. GO SEE THIS NOW! ...Its authentic comic book cinema. Thats an order! AND Remember. I AM IRON MAN...!!!!!!
When I was a 9 year old I often dreamed of these Big screen battles between heroes. MARVEL, has Finally done , what was once impossible. The task was to transfer and translate what those early comic book transcripts truly contained. THE UNBRIDLED POWER AND WRATH OF THE INCREDIBLE HULK!!!!!. It was once impossible to fathom bringing this Mythological being to life with anything but paper and ink. His massive physical intimidation, his piercing, Bestial Battle Yell. The true intangible factor of his unlimited Physical abilities, and his Spartan like Thirst to Dominate all that Challenge his unmatched Rage and Might..! THIS IS TRULY THE HULK that I relished reading and marveling at 25 years ago. Even the TV series contained some of the intangibles of the comic version but nothing has ever come this close. The first motion picture did very little justice for this Icon, Eric Bana was ok but just didnt capture the jist of Bruce Banners vulnerability. (ANG LEE SUCKED and was clueless to the task he unwittingly accepted in the first attempt. (he performed the motion capture for a ten foot tall 1400 pound mass of turbo charged Muscle fiber.) Need i say more? The second installment shows the changes that were needed for success. ED Norton did very well at spelling "The Jade Giant " and contrasting the 2 persona contained in Banner. The intellect and the indomitable Jade Gladiator. This movie shows The Hulks Willingness To be more human but at the same time Revel in his savagery in battle. The Abomination is one of the few beings that can lay claim to have bested The Hulk in battle, so this flick has the unexpected physicality of the best issues of the comic. Cant wait for the match up vs the avengers. If its anything like the Comic series were in for a heck of a ride.
