I just dont get it. We have the same holidays every single year. How is it that comic producers and distributers havent figured out a way to deliver comics on time after a holiday in the last 70 years???

June 14, 2008 4:24 am oh, as far as ratings, I would give the new Hulk an 8 out of 10 (In comparison with a 9 out of 10 for Ironman which had a much meatier story and was slightly better overall)
June 14, 2008 4:22 am Ok, so I saw the new film and I really liked it alot. The story elements were sparse, but they filled in the spaces between the action, were pretty well acted, and basically they just didn't screw any of it up. The action was great and most importantly, the Hulk fought a definitive villain at the end where the fight was easy to follow. I note this about the end of the movie because this is where the previous Hulk movie died, IMO. The end of the Ang Lee version was very muddled. It was unclear exactly what the villain was and the "fight" was completely incoherent. This is completely unforgivable in a superhero movie. Artistic license, character moments, plot development, human emotion and behavior studies can all be interesting, and in some genres you might even argue they can make a complete package in whatever artistic medium you choose. However, the essence of superheros are the battle between good and evil. How can you have any kind of superhero work without a defined "evil" that the superhero fights and a clear victory?
