It's way too cerebral for the Hulk character. It seemed more at home as an artsy movie than my expectation of what I knew the Hulk character to be. Sure, it was an origin story, but Lee seemed more interested in making the Hulk identifiable. I came into the movie for action. Hulk rage was what I expected. I did not need to see the Hulk become some great big crybaby.

Seriously, this move was all about daddy issues. Fine, make a character that has similar powers, but damn did I become disappointed with the series after that.

Man, that description of Hank just does not jive with me. I mean, he can be those things but that's not his character. He's a brilliant scientist whose major flaw seems to be that he does not know when to back off for his own good. He's insufferable but not irredeemable.

Also, mean right hook if you ask the Mrs.

Movie is way too silly for trying to be so serious. A poodle monster and the stupid fucking panels are examples of things that hurt the serious tone of the movie. I admire what the film tried to do but it was a fucking mess because Ang Lee just doesn't understand comics and what we want out of an adaptation. Consistency.

One of the most interesting interpretations I've seen, and the one I personally subscribe to, is that he's essentially a mad scientist who's trying as hard as he can to be heroic.

Yeah, you know what? Let's go with that. It's just hard to think of him any other way when essentially you have smarter scientists that make him out to be a butt monkey (Reed, Bruce, Tony, Doom...) and he always seems to get the worst end of everything.

Man even Parker has blatantly outdone him on more then one occasion. His Spider locators which tune into his natural spider sense is 8 steps above Ant man's helmet (as revealed in a comic where he and Parker had to team up)

Ant-Man seems important to me mostly for his invention of that microscopic prison where supervillains are shrunk to an incredibly small size and imprisoned within. So like he might be interesting as a side character to stick in The Avengers 2 or one of the other sequel movies but not to have his own movie.

I'm kind of a casual I guess but this Ant-Man stuff sounds pretty hokey. Like it was a 1940s character that they found hard to justify in modern times. I mean just the name is stupid!

Not like SPIDER-MAN or BATMAN.
