First off, i think everyone of these movies will be incredible! i liked the new hulk better than iron man, and apparently i am almost the only one, because iron man spent too much time with tony stark getting used to being iron man. yes, its his origin story so they had to but my opinion stays the same. i think the avengers film will destroy all box office records and will be the best super hero movie ever made. it almost has to with the actors, money and wait. capt. america will be better than thor, in my estimation, because he is not only the first avenger but his name contains “America”, so it would almost be sacreligious for it to suck. hollywood has a tendency to use movies to try and boost american morale, but i think that will only benefit the capt. america movie seeing as its the characters job to do that. thor will be a little hard for some audiences to swallow because he is a god and the supernatural elements it will contain. i love japanese anime, and i think the thor movie will have that sort of feel to it (just more american comic book than japanese anime) because of the supernatural, not super human, elements. thor will be a good film, but prolly not as well accepted, i think. iron man 2 is gonna be the stuff! i just hope we get a villian that we see throughout the entire film. i would not be disappointed to see the hulk possibly begin as a misunderstood character who becomes good (story of hulks life) because it would be cool to see the avengers fight him, and loose! will there be no spidey in this avengers film? i got high hopes, i got high apple pie in the sky hopes!

Isn’t this supposed to be about Thor and Iron Man II?

I’m excited about Thor. It’s giving more depth to the Marvel Universe for non-comic reading fans of Marvel. It’s a great story and KB will obviously bring an exciting and elegant STORY (unlike a lot of comicbook movie makers who only focus on good action).

Including Thor in a high capacity will add a timelessness to the Avengers, which will NOT bomb considering Penn is on as the writer and the sheer number of A-list actors on helm for the project: Scarlett Johansson, Robert Downey, Samuel L. Jackson and Don Cheadle (and possibly Edward Norton)! All of the great ACTING will keep the action and storyline in check for the Avengers and hopefully it’ll be a series, hopefully no more than 2 or 3. Optimistically speaking, this will be the best of the Marvel movies.

Also, don’t forget that the actor for Captain America has yet to be named, so add him into the list with Chris Hemsworth as Thor. The only way this movie will bomb is if they bring Eric Bana back as the Hulk or use the Abomination as the only bad guy, neither of which will happen.

Iron Man 2 is said to be better than the first and will introduce War Machine with Don Cheadle, who is a much better actor than Terrance Howard and much easier to work with, supposedly. So, the action will be undeniably better since we know what Iron Man can do already and they won’t have to waste time having Downey getting used to being a “superhero.”

What’s with all the negativity about the Avengers? I don’t get it!

The Ed norton hulk was pretty decent IMO. It was interesting and the effects were good too along with the story.

please no more hulk movies,2 movies & a t.v. show and none of them were interesting. everyone/anyone who was involved in making hulk on t.v. and in the movies have failed miserably. this is supposed to be an easy character to do and each time it was done each time the movie or t.v. show turned out to be a huge awful disappointment.attention all of you directors and producers, do not attempt any more hulk movies because you don’t know what your doing.start reading hulk comics and pick your villians from them and remember folks there supposed to be supervillians not puny humans.

The second hulk did not suck.It was what a Hulk movie should be.

I thought both Hulks sucked…the first had better acting and a better story and the second had better action and Norton pulled off teh Hulk well…I think that the Hulk is just like teh Punisher…it will always be a miss

I for one am REALLY looking forward to Captain America…if done correctly I think it has the potential to really do well. I feel that they need to cast a great well known actor to play cap, like they did in Iron Man with Downy.
I think that Iron man 2 will also be really good and deliver us another great comic movie.

As far as Thor, I oculdnt care less…serioulsy not that popular of a character and he’s a God which is way too supernatural for me. I will try and keep an open mind and watch teh film and give it an honest chance though ( ididnt tink iron man was goin to be good and I was wrong on that)

The avengers will BOMB, no convincing me otherwise on this one

Yah, it was pretty horrible. Hulk changing size everytime the camera looked away and looked back? Come on. Hulk crying? Say it ain’t so! Hulk dogs? Oh no! lol

I just wanted to use the opportunity to say Brokeback Hulk, lol.

Ang Lee is definitely overrated. He’s a director that TRIES to be artsy. So he goes for whatever he thinks has shock value or an artsy feel. Gay cowboys, crying hulks, borderline pornos… No thanks…

No I didn’t. Horrrible film.

Ang Lee’s overated and should get out of my life. I mean movies.

@790

What, you didn’t like Brokeback Hulk?

That’s what I always refer to it as, haha.

AVENGERS WONT BE FIGHTING THE HULK…THE WAY THEY “HERO-ED” HIM OUT, I THINK WE’LL BE SEEING A SEMI CONTROLLED HULK..THE LAST PART OF INCREDIBLE HULK, NORTON LOOKED TO HAVE BEEN MEDITATING TO THE POINT OF HARNESSING THE HULK POWER,HE WAS SMILING WHEN HE STARED CHANGING

There was no “Hulk” reference in (Iron Man). The Generals concerns were vague in the scene with Stark.

Hulk was a Hero in the end… Great fraken film, one of the best Comic Superhero films ever (IMO), Norton hit a grand slam with that film!!!

Ang Lee can go direct his lame films. You suck Lee.

correct me if i’m wrong, but i guess may be it was when general ross talkin with Tony Stark and the idea of “assembling up the team again” at the end of the movie

again.. correct me if i’m wrong..

@Leggy (or anyone else who can answer)

What happened again at the end of ‘The Incredible Hulk’ and IronMan that would suggest the Avengers is about fighting the Hulk? (I don’t remember)

The only reason I am interested at all in “Thor” is because of Kenneth Braunagh. He is consistent and knows every detail. I’ve never read the comic, but in Braunagh’s hands I feel like I won’t have too.
