    At least he's not bright, glowing green this time. I still can't forgive they screwed up the first one. With that cast, it should have amazing.

    This Hulk movie would be fantastic if they put a gigantic Nazi symbol on the Hulk's chest and had him curb-stomp the Abomination.

    Just got out of the theater. Chalk me up in the "loved it" column. Humor was GREAT. A couple of confessions: First, I had to break out the iPhone and go to imdb.com in the middle of the flick to see who was playing Obidiah. Bridges was just not recognizable. At first, I thought it was Richard Moll, Bull from Night Court. Weird.
    Second, I was so ready to start booing in the clip after the credits. Seeing just the silhouette and hearing the voice, I thought it was Fishburne rehashing his Matrix role. Almost screamed WTF, but then came the reveal.
    And before some smartass chimes in, no I didn't cry during the flick!

    Come on, you cried just a little. When he opened the gift from Pepper? Just admit it.

    Well, okay, yes. But only because I sat on my left testicle. :/

    Really dug the movie. Nice to see they're still making movies in the Alabama Hills above Lone Pine (stood in for Afghanistan). Hard to believe it took them 18 years to bring this to screen and they only started filming it last Spring. Amazing what a good script can do. The final "battle" was a little boring, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Downey was great. Bridges was great. Hell, even Jim Cramer was great. The Stan Lee cameo was funny.

    Well, then you don't want me to tell you about how at the end Tony is holding a press conference and tells everyone he has herpes. OOps, sorry, SPOILER WARNING...he has herpes.

    I have no idea who War Monger is, so that's ok. Is that an Iron Man villain? Never has been a favorite comic of mine.

    Ya know, i hated the last fight scene, but it was awesome when he went against the terrorist and went flying with the air force.
