Old Green Eyes

Ok i must admit, after seeing the first Hulk which was directed by Ang Lee (Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon) I was really turned off at the idea that another Hulk movie was coming out. I mean the CGI in the first Hulk was horrible and no lie I slept during that movie at the theater. hand in the popcorn tub. death by popcorn. yes. I will give credit to the fact that it did make it seem like you were actually reading a comic book with the zoom, wipes, split screens and boxing up the hero's actions. c'mon though, hulk was way too cartoonish. so yah i kept hearing about the Incredible Hulk movie coming out again and yes I let it roll right off of my shoulders. UNTIL ....No, no. Don't play with my emotions!! Edward Norton in the new Hulk movie?!!! OMG. damn my eyes must have turned a shade lighter as well. Count me in. Movie came out on Friday the 20th and I was there Saturday morning the 21st.. I took my dad with me to watch.
Talk about bringing back the Incredible Hulk! Kudos to the director Louis Leterrer because the CGI in this movie was intricate and Edward Norton did a remarkable job in portraying the inner conflict of Bruce Banner. I suggest you go out and watch this Marvel Movie, since I dont want to ruin it for you. The intro explains the story behind the Hulk which is good for those unfamiliar with this comic. The infamous Lou Ferrigno makes a cameo and towards the end you have the talented Robert Downey Jr. come in for about a minute to leave you with the idea that there will definately be a sequel.
My dad really had a good time watching this movie. I said "so dad, whatcha think?" he goes "wow, that was loud" hahhahahah of course all this while he goes to grab a free hulk movie poster they were handing out as a promotion. He talked about the movie all weekend since we went to chill with my aunts and Uncles for father's day. So my final review: definate must see! i've yet to check out Iron Man.. but I will blog on Robert Downey Jr. next....
