I have to admit that I have been feeling pretty bad for The Incredible Hulk. Don't get me wrong, the most recent trailers and clips look ridiculously good. It's just that there are so many out there who remember the first attempt at the franchise some years back and they act like they are not yet ready to let it go.
Many of my acquaintances -- who loved Iron Man, mind you -- show the same response to The Incredible Hulk. It comes down to one word really:
EH.
The Incredible Hulk Gets Praise
Fortunately for us (and Marvel for that matter), it looks like a whole bunch of doubters will soon be proven wrong. The first review for The Incredible Hulk has surfaced online over at AICN and it's extremely positive. Don't believe it? Well, they also have a bunch of screening reports here that back the claim.
' know you folks loved IRON MAN – I’m right there. I fucking loved it. This is an INCREDIBLE HULK movie to love too. Watching these last two MARVEL films… where Marvel is actually controlling the vertical and the horizontal. Where executive decisions are being made by people whose profession is COMICS and COMIC MOVIES. I can’t fucking tell you how amazing it is to actually… literally… see the Marvel Universe on screen.
And it is much more evident here, than even in IRON MAN.
Well THE INCREDIBLE HULK – is very much like the re-invention that happened to STAR TREK on STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN. Now – I love THE INCREDIBLE HULK, but it isn’t quite STAR TREK II great – but it’s outstanding.
Louis Leterrier has made a HULK movie that first and foremost is badass, kickass and asskicking, but is most certainly not ASS. ''
The praise does not stop there. Check out the entire review for The Incredible Hulk at AICN.
The Incredible Hulk opens to theaters on June 13th.
