Enjoyable....but whisper it quietly...slightly underwhelming superhero movie that is not as good as the word of mouth or hype surrounding it. What's wrong with it? Well, Joss Whedon for one thing. I'm really starting to think that he is completely overrated after seeing this just after the similarly disappointing Cabin In The Woods. Don't get me wrong, he is good, but smart ass quips, whilst funny, are not dialogue. Here's a little bit with some action, here's a little bit with character, here's a little bit of plot....is not the same as telling a story. Putting it all together is what counts. It felt a bit scrappy to me. For once the CGI is great, The Hulk is well rendered, but I'm just not that excited by endless shots of metallic lizard things popping out of space portals. It is fun and it is well done but I think I was looking for a little more excitement.
