Some Summer Movies...
I had a triple feature night last week. I saw Kung Fu Panda, The Incredible Hulk, and The Happening (in that order).
As sad as it sounds, I think I enjoyed Kung Fu Panda the best. It was funny and cute. It had that Pixar-appeal. You know, great for kids, but still entertaining for adults. The voices were great; lots of good, big name actors. Even though some of them didn't talk much (like Jackie Chan who said like two phrases), it still brought something forward for the movie. I recommend seeing the movie.
Now I would rank The Hulk second in this trio. [SPOILER] I liked the movie, but only because I kind of knew what to expect. Superhero-acting, over-the-top action and some dang ridiculous dialogue. The Hulk head was WAY too small, as well. But Edward Norton made a better Bruce and the intertwining of Iron Man at the end will hopefully make for a great combined superhero movie (one day).
The worst of the trio was The Happening. After seeing this movie, my suspicion that M. Night is on a slippery slide downward is confirmed. The movie was bizarre and it felt more like a Stephen King-based movie. There was no real catch like his other mind-benders. I mean, there might have been a catch except you never know what is going on AND you never find out! It was frustrating and it left me with a weird, unnerving feeling. Not like a curious, Donnie Darko unnerving feeling. This one was unpleasant. I do not recommend this movie to anyone.
