During the summer, a lot of movies came out. Some of which were ignored; such an instance can be said for Louis Leterrier’s The Incredible Hulk movie. This movie was almost immediately shot in the foot when people remembered Ang Lee’s Hulk movie (2004). Ladies and gents, all I have to say is that this movie is possibly, other than The Dark Knight, the greatest movie that came out all summer.
I understand that Iron man was a great movie, but The Incredible Hulk is just…better. I mean, a lot of people want to say, Oh well you know, the Hulk has strength only and can only turn into the Hulk when he gets angry so he’s like a crazy animal lashing out at people. Not entirely true; in the comics, Bruce Banner starts to learn how to control it. It also starts to hint at that in the movie. And if he just struck out at anybody, Betty Ross would be dead by now. The Hulk has enough common sense to do what he thinks is generally right, which is beat up the bad guys, save Betty, and survive.
Another thing that people are arguing about is the fact that they’ve changed the Hulk from way back in the day. In the T.V. show with Lou Ferrigno, the Hulk was about six feet tall. Well, in the comic books, the Hulk averages out at about eight feet tall. Just because it’s new doesn’t mean that it isn’t good. As for the Ang Lee movie, let’s just not mention that movie existed. There’s only so much I can say; it’s up to you to actually watch it. Just make sure that you don’t make us fans angry…you won’t like us when we’re angry.
