For those of you who want to be cheaply entertained, go see Iron Man or the Hulk. For those of you who want something deeper (see Shyamalan's deliver a message), you might enjoy it.


I really enjoyed it. 7/10


The best part about Shyamalan movies is how they make you think about it afterwards. I find myself often talking with people afterwards about the deeper meanings many tend to overlook. That's what makes his movies great.
The Hulk was not stupid fun or what I'd consider cheap entertainment. From everything I've heard about The Happening it is full of stupid horror movie cliches. I likely won't watch the Happening but if it is even 1/2 as stupid as Lady in the Water it deserves to be wiped from existence.

As for the Hulk see the Incredible Hulk thread. Great movie.
