Super Hero Movies

There are a bunch of superhero movies coming out this summer. Here's my take on the 3 most important.


Iron Man:

May 2, 2008

Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhgzIM-9lfA

The changes made to original story appear minor, to update to new era. Instead of being prisoner in Vietnam, he is prisoner in Iraq-like country. Robert Downey to play an alcoholic. What acting? Looks like there will be plenty of gratuitous violence. Gotta love that.



Batman: The Dark Knight

July 18, 2008

Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaIR9dAZRR0

Heath Ledger freaks me out as the Joker. Wow. Looks like an impressive performance. Should be a very good movie.



The Incredible Hulk

June 13, 2008

Edward Norton as Bruce Banner...not sure that is a good choice. I didn't recognize the villain until I traced the name down on the website. Even after comparing the image from the trailer and the image from the comics, I still didn't see a good comparison. I think this one will tank.

Let me know your thoughts. Am I on target, or missing something?
