Pretty good flick!

I enjoyed this movie very much. It touched my heart, made me laugh and it was very clever. I loved all the references to those great B movies of the 50s. The animation was very realistic looking! The kids sitting next to me a couple seats over with their Mom seemed to enjoy it, too. There was a smattering of applause at the end of the movie and I clapped along with them. That's always a nice thing to experience at a movie. My favorite character? Ginaormica!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This Knight was too long and too dark!

I am a major Batman fan and absolutely LOVED Batman Begins...but I left this film feeling a bit disapointed and confused. LOTS of darkness, death, violence and destruction in this film and the ending wasn't very hopeful. The action scenes were great and I enjoyed the Batpod vs. the 18 wheeler scene...that was brilliant! I thought the acting was overall very good and Ledger's re-invention of the Joker was inspired. Batman's voice was mixed too loud and over the top this time around...even more so than in Batman Begins. It became a bit of a distraction. Fight scenes were better than Begins but still a little confusing and hard to figure out...especially in the last 15 minutes of the film. The ending left me shaken and stirred (the new Bond trailer looks AWESOME, btw!). I guess I was spoiled by Iron Man, which had its flaws, but I feel was a much better, entertaining and well-balanced film. I enjoyed The Dark Knight, but I find it difficult to recommend it.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Didn't live up to the hype...

The first half of the movie was pretty good. I liked it up to the point where he was trapped at the University. The battle there against Thunderbolt Ross and the troops was very good, but... when the Hulk is in the shadows and you can't really make out his features earlier in the film he looks...well...incredible! But once you see him in the daylight he just doesn't look right. Also the battle with the Abomination was similar to the battles in Transformers and Batman Begins. They're filmed so close and tight that you can't see what the heck is going on. I guess subconciously I was comparing it to Iron Man...which I absolutely LOVED! I'm glad that Marvel is in charge of its own films...but they need to give up on the Hulk. This is twice now and they still haven't gotten it right. I did enjoy all the "Easter Eggs" for us Marvel fans, though! Maybe I should recommend this film just for that!
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Director Jon Favreau NAILS it!

The casting was perfect, the action outstanding, acting was top drawer. It was fast paced, exciting, humorous...all the things that a good summer movie should be. This is a triumph for the newly formed Marvel Studios. And there were hints throughout the film for fanboys and girls about things to come. SEE THIS MOVIE! It raises the bar for future comic book/superhero movies...
Yes, I recommend this movie.
