The Summer Movie Season is halfway over and I have had the pleasure in taking in a few of the summer blockbusters . The first big summer movie this year was Iron Man starring Robert Downey Jr. and it did not disappoint me at all . Iron Man was fun, exciting well written and stuck very true to the Iron Man I knew and loved from the comic book's as a kid You may still be able to find it at a theatre or too and if so get there and see it . What a great cast Gwyneth Paltrow, Terrence Howard and Jeff Bridges . Some of the CGI was the best I have ever seen .
Now the next flick I caught was also of the super hero ilk and that was The Incredible Hulk starring one of my favorite actors as Dr. Bruce Banner, Edward Norton . I really enjoyed this movie alot . Some people come to me and say well but that hulk looks so fake . Let me put this in perspective for those who join that opinion . The Hulk from the comic book is about 8 feet tall over one thousand pounds and green . Tell me when you have seen one of those walking around that look real. The story was great and reminded me of the TV show alot and I highly recommend it .
Now if I am a studio and I want summer blockbuster success what actor would I hire . Well how about this guy named Will Smith . The Fresh Prince has scored summer hit's with I,Robot 345 million , Bad Boys II 278 million, Men In Black II 440 million, Min In Black 580 million, Indepedance Day wait for it .......816 million , So let's just say Mr. Smith = Big Dollars and his 2008 Blockbuster Hancock did not disappoint either bringing in over 500 million to date . I enjoyed the flick it was a little darker than expected and some cool twists that were not expected as well . That's it for the first edition of Summer Blockbust reviews . Monday after I see it for the third time (this time in IMAX) I will do the blockbuster that deserves a page all to it itself The Dark Knight Returns .
