We all went to see the Hulk yesterday. The comic-obsessed teenager in me really enjoyed it. It had all the Hulk-iana one could want: Hulkbuster Base, huge southwestern desert vistas, gamma bombs and Glen Talbot. I was looking for Rick Jones, but I don't think he made it into the film.
I have some issues with the pre-show trailers this time, however. Would someone explain to me what Dr. Seuss ever did to deserve the ravaging disrespect his ideas are getting from Hollywood? The trailer for The Cat in the Hat was cut from the same cloth as those for the Grinch movie ... inappropriate sexual single-entendres; overly literal set design, etc. Plus, like the Grinch movie, it's just a bad idea ... who needs an adult retelling of a fantastic cartoon that's not that old? What's next? Baywatch Babes in Toyland?
