While the movie may not have been as good or as fresh as Iron Man, Marvel's other big hit earlier this year, it far from disappoints. This is how a Hulk movie should be made: lots of action, smashing, action sequences, fights with adversaries. Anyone going to this movie expecting it to be better and faster moving than Ang Lee's Hulk will be pleased. Without giving away too many spoilers in the movie, the story picks up kind of where Ang Lee's left off: Banner is in Brazil working in a factory trying to find a cure, while trying to subdue the bridled force of rage within him. Shorlty after, the opening, maybe 20 minutes, Banner loses control and the Hulk steps in. There are three major sequences in the movie that eat up a huge chunch of its runnin time: the chase scene in Brazil, the Culver University Incident, and the Final Battle scene. Tim Roth is excellent in his role. Emil Blonsky's greed, desire for power and skills as a soldier were portrayed well, as were all supporting characters. Marvel chose a great cast for this one! In short, any Marvel fan will love this movie. The moviegoer needs to enter the theater with a fresh frame of mind and roll with the story. It was worth my $9 and I'd see it again!
As with most Marvel action movies, Iron Man presents cool visuals with non-stop action. The plot is smart, well planned and executed. This movie runs the gamut with its scenes: funny, serious, action, romance, etc. Without giving away too many details about the movie, comic book enthusiasts and newcomers to the Marvel Universe will enjoy the visuals and story, without even knowing background story behind the Iron Man saga. I fully recommend Iron Man for those who enjoy action movies. For those who don't, don't count this movie out - there's something for everyone.
