Hulk Smash

Will Hulk smash his way into the box office just like his buddy Iron Man? I know this 2nd feature from Marvel Studios has been receiving a hell lot of negative reviews from critics. But I will cut some slack here. I think this movie is good, seriously. Before you read on, must caution you that there are some 'spoilers" ahead.

Throughout the movie, and even the onstart of the movie, we are dropped with hints with some secret documents showing the names of "Nick Fury", "SHIELD" and Stark Enterprise. Some notable cameos such as Stan Lee playing this old guy that was unfortunate enough to drink the bottle tainted with Bruce Banner's blood, Lou Ferigno, the original Hulk in the tv series and also the late Bill Bixby that played Bruce Banner cleverly shown on telly which Bruce was watching.

Liv Tyler that played Elizabeth Ross is certainly an eye candy to watch. Whose heart wouldnt melt, especially Elizabeth is the only one that is able to tame the angry ridden Hulk. Plus the super soldier project that also gave birth to Captain America, another founding member and also the leader of The Avengers will soon give birth on the silver screen. Thats another story to be told.

There are already hints for the sequel and big story build up from Marvel that will finally see The Avengers in action. Samuel Sterns, the cellular biologist who tries to help Bruce rid his body of gamma rays will end up becoming The Leader after the explosion caused some of Banner's blood dropped into his open wound on his head. The Leader will subsequently become Hulk's arch nemesis and also a very dangerous foe to SHIELD and The Avengers.

Overall, pitting Hulk against Abomination in the 1st movie is indeed a smart move on the producer's part. There is more to come. As Tony Stark met up with General Ross at the tailend of the movie to discuss on the setting up of The Avengers. For now I am contented just to enjoy my Marvel Legends action figures pitting The Hulk against The Leader.
