Hulk Smash!! Hulk Delivers!!

There MIGHT be Spoilers…
Some time ago, Iron Man set a very high bar for Superhero Movies, I’m glad to see that “The Incredible Hulk” kept it up, it may not surpassed it, but by no means was a letdown…
The pacing was great, the “origin” was made in the fastest recap I’ve ever seen, and it worked, I loved the action sequences, the cameos were there (even one from the great beyond) and there were TONS of Easter eggs for the Fans of the series…
I know that some will complain about some acting and CGI, but to me the final product was so good, that it made me forget the Ang Lee fiasco, and makes me think that maybe Marvel has found the formula at last…
It's the second time I had low hopes for a film and I ended surprised.
Let's hope they keep it up, the winner in the end is the viewer.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Spoiler Alerts: You Have been warned!
I didn't expect much from this film, and Boy, was i surprised!!! A TV. spot (namely the Tank vs. Iron Man scene) seemed too fake to my taste, but it was obviously enhanced later on, because on the theaters that scene looks awesome..
The cast was great, the effects beyond my expectation, the pace was perfect and the ending was a rule-breaker.
I am not very familiar with the comic, but I noticed that this film laid out TONS of roots for future Marvel films, we know that in the upcoming Hulk movie Tony Stark/Downey will make a cameo, trying to start a link between Marvel films, something that has been on Marvel's minds for some years now, let's hope it works... DC, is trying to do it with Bale and Routh reprising their roles as Batman and Superman for a Justice League feature.
There's a lot of Marvel references: S.H.I.E.L.D.,War Machine, and the ending I think would a base for the "Civil War" Marvel's storyline... just to name a few...
A few years back "Batman Begins" reset the rules for a great superhero movie and gave us a great guideline, as previously did the first X-men movie, unfortunately later films failed on some degree to match the formula (Fantastic Four)now Iron man retakes the challenge and actually puts the game on a higher level, let's hope "Dark Knight" and "The Incredible Hulk" can keep up...
A movie well done from the start... and all the way until PAST the credits ; )
