Marvel Heroes..

Watched 3 Marvel comic adaptation back to back today..

First was Iron Man. Had always loved Robert Downey Jr.. since the days of Ally McBeal.. :) It was a pity then that his character was written off because he was arrested for drug-related charges.. He played the title character very well, in my opinion. Loved the action sequences too... Would give it 4.5 out of 5.. :)

Next was the Fantastic Four: The rise of the Silver Surfer. Didn't watch the first movie.. Was never a fan of the comic/cartoon or any one of the actors in it. The story is so-so, acting very poor and the action sequences lame.. It only deserved a 2 out of 5 from me..

The last Marvel comic adapted movie that I watched today was The Incredible Hulk.. again, I have only praises for Edward Norton. Liv Tyler wasn't too bad either.. Norton portrayed the tormented scientist trapped in the body of a green monster very good in my opinion.. The only complain I have is the battle sequences between the two "big guys".. Kinda messy and non-climatic.. and cliche too.. So it gets a 4 out of 5..

I think everyone has their own favorite super hero(es).. and the fact that even though they are super heroes with special/gifted powers and/or lots of money, they still face the same problems/dilemma and experienced the same kinds of emotions/feelings as everyone.. that sort of vulnerabilities endeared them to us.. Don't you agree? ;)
