Well fuck. That was part of the Saturday plan.

Eh, I don't think it was as bad as the first Hulk movie... but still not great. I like Ed Norton a helluva lot better than Eric "I can't act my way out of a paper bag" Bana.

I think Bana is a pretty good actor.But in the original "Hulk" he (or Ang Lee) decided to play Banner as a sealed-off, unapproachable character. The movie and the acting choices made it hard to have any real sympathy for Banner. And Bana's got the same problem Ioan Gruffud (or however you spell it) does playing "Reed Richards"...he's just not the right actor for the part. He just doesn't look right. Ed Norton is a way better match. Norton always looks like he could have been the captain of the squash team at Yale, even when he plays a heavy. That's Banner in every successful incarnation of the comic. But In "The Hulk",Bana looks as if he wandered in off the set of a Lifetime Movie Network original ("Four Flushing Panty Bandit: Moment of Truth.")

Regardless, I'll see this just to see it, and I'll see it for $2 in an afternoon matinee at a 2nd run movie theater, just like I did with "Ghost Rider"...another superhero movie I was less than stoked over. I ended up enjoying "GR", and I'll probably have a reasonably good time with TIH.

I can't even imagine what drug you were on, but it couldn't have been legal.

Comic book movie of the summer will be -
Hellboy 2.
