I've been meaning to post a few quick reviews and as I've got nothing to do until I board my plane, I thought I'd take the time and share some.
The Incredible Hulk - I saw this last night with some friends at CFUNITED. While not as good as Iron Man, it was pretty darn good. Yes - the CGI is very fake looking. There is no way you are going to make a 1-ton green monster look real. But - Edward Norton did a great job, the story was well done, and I loved the nods to the old show. Oh - and I won't ruin the spoiler, but the entire movie was made cooler by one line uttered by the Hulk. We should also give credit to the movie company behind Iron Man for letting their actor appear in another company's movie. Both may be Marvel properties, but still, that was pretty cool.
Sex and City - Ok, so this is trash, but I enjoyed the series when it was on TV. The movie was way too long, but if you liked the series, then this simply adds a few more episodes to the run. I'd probably just rent it from Netflix or Blockbuster though.
Kung Fu Panda - Jack Black is the king. This is one of the best kid movies I've seen in a while. I thought the animation style was done well.
The Happening - Absolute, 100%, trash. I've given up on Night. Completely. I've seen better acting in high school. I'd rather push rusty, dull, smelly nails through my eyes, backwards, than watch this film again.
The Invasion - An older one - but I just saw it. Meh. Nicole Kidman is nice to look at, but outside of that, this is just one more remake.


Marvel has really stepped up now. You can tell.
He seems to be a loved it/hated it filmmaker for many people.
The Happening might not be happening until DVD for me. If it's that bad, there's no reason to waste a baby sitter and a date night on a 'rusty nail in the eye' movie.
Now that Marvel is doing everything my understanding is:
2 Movies a year introducing their heroes and after 3 years, a Marvel Alliance movie with all of them in it.
So we should see introductions here and there in each movie to set up the tone.
On Night - you may already know about this site but boxofficemojo.com has gross totals for everything you want to compare:

I couldn't believe how bad the acting was - marky mark took a few steps back on this one.
btw... what would you use to oxidize your nail that caused it to smell? i've never known of a rusted nail to be smelly.
