The had Iron Man fight the Iron Monger in his movie because that’s the most iconic Iron Man villain. The amount of time it would have taken to explain magical ring wearing ninja chinese people or giant face for a body floating chair people would have eaten an entire movie.

At the same time, the Abomination is a pretty iconic Hulk villain. Everything that is right about the Hulk is wrong about the abomination, he’s the excuse needed to justify letting a giant green man in purple pants run around your city without a nursemaid.

The new Hulk movie isn’t that bad at all. The cardboard acting of horse-faced Betty aside.

In order for M Night Shyamalan to have been “ruined”, he would have to have been good to begin with. You’re promising false premises here.

Yes, I think “Bring Back Lou Ferigno” is the takeaway from this post. Although they brought him back for a cameo in Ang Lee’s movie and that still didn’t save it.

Your comments on bad special effects remind me of the second Mummy movie. Everything was humming along fine until the Rock’s character the Scorpion King appeared. Or rather, a computer generated animation piece whose head barely looked like the Rock. I said to myself “Did they just run out of money to put something so obviously pathetic on screen?”

I also got suckered into seeing the Beowulf movie without knowing it wasn’t a live action film, but rather a piece of animation. I was bent- it was like watching Shrek the Viking King. Supposedly it was much better in IMAX 3-D, but that didn’t do me any good.

Bring back Lou Ferigno and the green paint baby!
