Rapid Review: The Incredible Hulk and Get Smart
Saw both The Incredible Hulk and Get Smart this weekend.
I have to say -- the Hulk movie was better than I expected.
The non-Hulk bits were terrific, with Ed Norton giving us some real quiet desperation. A good sci-fi government chase movie even before the Hulk shows up. The special effects didn't take me out of the film as much as I expected. Especially enjoyed Tim Roth as the villain and am looking forward to another one.
I had incredibly low expectations for Get Smart -- so it managed to exceed them.
Slow start, some good bits, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson shone, it was the sexiest I've ever seen Anne Hathaway and Steve Carrell did his thing. Not going to get an Oscar nomination and I'm not dying for a sequel, but it was a fine summer popcorn movie -- some laughs, some action, some nostalgia.
