The Incredible Hulk (2008)


Going into the Hulk I wasn't really expecting much. I also wasn't too interested in the movie in general. The only thing that kind of got to me go is Ed Norton, and Liv Tyler. I enjoyed several of Liv Tyler's movies, and pretty anything Ed Norton has ever been in. This movie delivers with plot, and action. The story moves along nicely, and they have enough dialogue to get a pretty decent back story on how everything went down. I do think they could have gotten a bit deeper into the back story, but it's understandable how they had to keep it going. The action is outstanding, and really leaves you with your mouth wide open. Ed Norton delivered big time in this, and Liv Tyler added charm to really make you feel the connection between them. Overall I'd recommend this to anyone into comic related movies. It does depend deeply on action, so it might not be everyone's cup of tea.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)


I don't do the whole watch the previous installments again to prep for the new movie in the franchise. I feel like I'll just overload on it, and not be able to enjoy the movie for what it is. So going into the new Indiana Jones movie I was a little rusty, but felt like I could enjoy the movie. I did in fact find the movie pretty good in parts, in others not so much. The movie seems to lose course at some points, but overall manages to get by. Harrison Ford pulls off Indiana Jones fairly decently, and Shia LaBeouf actually didn't annoy the hell out of me. I dont know why I thought he would but he didn't. Cate Blanchett played a pretty badass bad guy, and Karen Allen added also had a strong comeback from the original movie. I'd recommend this to anyone who's into the trilogy obviously, and anyone into interesting over the top thrillers. Enjoy!

Wanted (2008)


This movie is what it is. It's a summer time action packed thriller that is over the top, and that's the way I like it. Sure a majority of the action is mostly impossible, but who really cares. Angelina Jolie looks amazing, and Morgan Freeman delivers yet again. Surprise, surprise. The story isn't the greatest, but it isn't so bad as to get in the way of the action. There are a few parts that just seem out of place, or just thrown in at the last second which kind of leave you thinking what the hell just happened. But again most people going into this movie want one thing ACTION. So if you are looking for a great action packed movie, with little plot this is right up your alley.

Haven't seen Hulk yet, so I might watch it after your review. I agree entirely with your WANTED review.

I personally thought Indianna Jones wasted 2 hours of my precious "personal reflection" time. The actors were good and played their parts well, but I just thought that the story was a half assed effort.
