looking for grown up angst and character depth. Searching for David Copperfield in the DC comic isle.Sheesh, these self appointed guides of enlightenment need to stay focused on the non-cartoon character Summer Blockbusters. They need to remember Cannes is in the Spring, summer is for kids/entertainment and the cash cows that keep the studios willing to take chances on the "three guys sitting around a dead bird, smoking cigarettes and conteplating their childhoods" types of movies.
Hulk was fine for spending a few hours with my son this summer. I got a tiny bit more out of it than the other mass market comic book hero movies I've gone with him, and he gets to talk about bashing tanks and chewin missles. He didn't care how Hulk looked and he also knows that Utah Raptor isn't real either even though he can see his skin tones!
I can hardly wait to read the indepth failings of the next installment of Marvel Comic BlockBuster Release for Summer 2004!
