An Open Letter to Dan
Dan, there's only one reason why I didn't like the new Hulk - no surprises. You knew within the first 10 minutes that ultimately there would be a show-down (not a ho-down) between the Hulk and some adversary. Of course, if you had seen the trailers you knew that the show-down was with the Abomination. But even if you hadn't seen the trailers, everything in the movie just led to a typical CGI fight (cf Spider-Man 1/2/3, Iron Man, Old Hulk) where, despite all the main character's strengths or powers you've seen during the movie, he or she just relies on a knuckle sandwich or a bit of greco-roman wrestling to win the day.
Why can't the filmmakers do something more interesting? Even Ang Lee went cool places with his Hulk before the dumb showdown.
Cheers,
Harry Knowles
P.S. I still wanna see it again.
