So Steve and I went to see a matinée of The Incredible Hulk today. Great show! I think both Steve and I agree with all the critics... Not as good as Iron Man, but it's mostly due to the differences in the characters. You are definitely able to enjoy watching Tony Stark more than watching Bruce Banner try to get rid of the Hulk. Still a great movie!
My biggest problem with the last movie was his father. Honestly if they had never included his father in the show it would have been so much better. That character is what ruined that movie IMO. It could have just been an origin story along with the Government trying to get a hold of him, maybe even capturing him, then his escape. Just leave out his father all together.
The Incredible Hulk is a mix between a sequel and a restart. They retell the origin during the opening credits a little bit different than what we saw in the last movie, but at the same time this takes place 5 years later... and it's been 5 years since 'Hulk' was made. So they pick up there, but the origin was a bit different...
Highly recommended! I'll go see it again anytime! Although Steve wants to go see Iron Man again... Jason?
