I really enjoyed this. I liked that they replaced Silver Surfer with BetaRay Bill since it tied Korg's back story into the main story. The only problem I had with the movie was accessibility. If someone didn't read comics and learned everything they knew about Hulk from mainstream media, I think the idea of a thinking Hulk (who doesn't change to Banner when he is knocked unconscious) would be jarring. I wonder, in hindsight, if they should have added a scene explaining how this evolved (or even changed it to a dumbed version that being on the Planet made him able to think.) Then again, I have been reading comics for nearly 35 years and I can't really consistently explain why there were Hulk Smash comics out at the same time as Intelligent Hulk comics.
I will also say that one of my favorite moments in the series was omitted where Hulk shows Caiera that he is also Banner.
Nonetheless, a great movie and I enjoyed it immensely. The action scenes are strong. Be warned if you have kiddies, the movie is unrated. But, I think it earns a PG-13.
The Thor: Tales of Asgard preview wasn't bad, but was reminiscent of Avengers Next movie. I would rather have had another mainstream movie. I hope Marvel (like DC) continues the trend of animating great comic story lines. However, I hope they avoid the Hulk for a while since he was featured in six of the last eight Marvel animated movies. Marvel has over a thousand characters; it's time to have another one share the Hulk's spotlight.
