A True Summer Blockbuster!

This is what you need in a summer movie! Action, hot steamy romance, and a story that keeps you on the edge of the seat. This is not Oscar season and nor should it be. In the summer I want a movie that delivers a punch of power story and action that makes me want to see it again several times. I rate this movie as the #2 movie of the summer next to Star Trek and Terminator 4 is movie #3. You're summer will not be complete without seeing this one.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Don't Judge a Movie by the Graphic Novel

I went to this movie with only minimal knowledge of the graphic novel and its history of over 20 years and various scripts. If you have read the novel then just keep an open mind that most grapic novel ( or any novel) rarely make it to the screen "exactly" like the book. Writing for reading and movies are not always the same. In an alternate US in the 1980's during great fears of nuclear holocaust we find a band of "masks" (heroes) trying to make not only America but the planet a better place. Struggling with their own human flaws they try to act above the human condition to improve it but realizing in the end it is those very human flaws that make them worthwhile people and better heroes. Good movie with action to make it worthwhile.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Great Movie!

From start to finish I was drawn into this film. Only the beginning and end are like the actual comic but the writers and producers came up with an alternate story that is still just as interesting and compelling as the comic book series. I was not disappointed Jolie, McAvoy, and Freeman turn out some of the best performances of the summer. I only wish Common the rapper had a larger part. Anyway the action was over the top and the plot twists made me grit my teeth. Job well done and money well spent. Go see it and make up your own mind... I know in the end you will agree.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Hulk SMASED my doubts!

I was very sceptical on paying to see this movie being a huge fan of Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno's version from the 1980's. I was also disappointed by the first big screen version. But this one hit it dead on from the scenes of the forgotten show Courtship of Eddie's Father starring Bill Bixby, placed perfectly to the cameo of Lou Ferrigno. It grabbed me. Ed Norton made me believe he was Bruce Banner and seeing him walking in the rain hitchhiking made this TV fan sniffle again at the obvious nod to the 80's show. It felt good to see Marvel finally get this one right. The action scenes were seismic, comical and engaging. Liv Tyler was awesome as Betty Ross and should a great deal of longing and love for Ed Norton as Bruce Banner (the seemed to develop a good on screen relationship).
Without revealing too much plot and details ... go...enjoy... have fun...and those who are old enough to know the 80's first hand will feel quite nostalgic at the end... and of course you know who shows up at the end.....TS
No, I do not recommend this movie.
