Having been a comic/superhero fan for a long time ... like many others ... it's been a long time coming to be able to see these movies finally come to life on the big screen. I think now with Marvel Studios taking the reigns on these movies we finally are getting the movies made the way the fans want them made. Iron Man and Hulk are, hopefully, just the start. Just as casting Downey Jr. as Stark was brilliant ... so is Norton as Banner. Great choice. This movie is definately better than the Ang Lee film. I also enjoyed how the new Hulk took the best aspects of the comics, tv show, and video games and seamlessly blended it all together. Overall, from a casual comics fan perspective, this movie was quite excellent.
This movie doesn't disappoint on any level. Want action? It's got that. Want drama ... that too. A little romance ... blah ... yeah it's got that too. Comedy ... plenty. Good vs. evil. Yeah that too. Suspense ... it's in there. Director Jon Favreau .. or whatever his name is lol .. did an excellent job with this. Everyone did ... from the script writer on down. Awesome job. Batman Begins and Iron Man have started something that I hope continues onward for every superhero movie made from this point on.
