Craig Sez:
Grab your lowered expectations and head on out to see "The Incredible Hulk"! Gotta admit that I was really unsure about this one - but came away pleasantly entertained. (Of course, I had to go see it by myself because Jean is still scared of the big green guy. To be more specific, she is more scared of the Lou Ferrigno version, who makes a nice cameo and does the voice work for the Hulk too. I digress.)
At any rate, the drama is not as lengthy in this one because you already know the back story, so you just buckle your seat belt and go along for the action ride. Just in case you did miss the first one, make sure you are on time because there is a 3 minute primer for you while the credits are running. Then is it where we left off with Banner hiding out in Brazil trying to learn how to control the beast and keep it suppressed. He is really working to find a way to rid himself of the gamma radiation and thus return to normal. Turns out that he may have to learn to embrace the sickness in order to rid the city of the new beast - The Abomination.
As for the CGI - it's nice to see a production company get thing right after seeing the terrible effects in Indiana Jones. Of course there is no hiding it is CGI - but that is okay because the guys that are fighting are as big as trucks. I think that where people have a harder time with the Hulk in general is because when he turns "super" he doesn't have the same personality anymore. When Iron Man goes out - he is still the same person - just with a suit and abilities, same with Spiderman.
So, my rating is "Pay full price" if you are a fan of the comic genre, or a "matinee" if you just want a good action flick.

He fights this guy?! I would totally pay full price to see that!
I believe I am going to wait for the DVD. I can’t stand going to the theater anymore. The last movie I took the kids to some punk pulled the fire alarm half way through the show and we all had to exit. No fire just a prank and of course no money back. I like my TV and it likes me so I am going to be watching things on DVD from now on unless the kids or wife demand that I take them to a crowded building full of hillbillies to watch teenage girls text message each other while I try and pull my feet away from five years worth of accumulated stickiness left from spilled soda and malted milk balls that with just the right combination of gamma rays could possible animate into a super being of some sort. I’m not sure what its super powers would be but it would probably involve overcharging people for snacks.
Here is a tip - Quit taking your kids to movies with you!!! lol Of course - you still have to deal with everyone else...
