This sequel is way better than the first one. It's not that Eric Bana wasn't good in the first movie. It's actually the fact that Edward Norton is more suited for the role of Bruce Banner. For one, Bruce needs to be a sort of geeky scientist and Edward Norton's built was perfect. Also, his acting was superb as always. The balancing of the human side of Bruce Banner and his alter ego - the hulk, was one of the best aspects of the movie. I likt e parts when Bruce and Betty showed just how hard it was to be in that situation. It wasn't all action, it was more like softening the hulk's character and finally tackling the psychological and emotional sides of the story. Oh I love the appearance of Ironman in the end. Robert Downey always looks good.
I am a big fan of Adam Sandler and I enjoyed the movie. I was laughing so hard at most parts though I think it fall short of his past movies i.e. "Anger Management and I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry" which are both funny and has more story in it. In Zohan, the love story part was kinda forced, like you see it coming because it is a movie yet you didn't feel it. But overall, I did not regret watching the movie. It was a good laugh. :)
The preliminary warning that the movie is based on a true story and until the present time, no one knows exactly what happened is a pure contradiction because at the end of the film, the character of Liv Tyler lived. Therefore, she should have been able to recount the story. I would give credit to the suspenseful taste of the movie which had me at the edge of my seat at most parts but it falls short on the most important details of the film. I was expecting to see something different or maybe some intelligent moves on the part of the characters but I guess that was wishful thinking since they acted the way other characters in this type of movie did. The accidental killing of Scott Speedman's character's best friend was a classic stupid thing shown in movies and I didn't expect that movie writers and directors hadn't had enough. I wish I watched SATC instead. I could have gotten my money's worth.
