The Incredible Hulk (2008)

Director: Louis Leterrier (The Transporter 2 [which sucked ass])
Stars: Edward Norton (Fight Club, The Italian Job)
Liv Tyler (The Lord of the Rings, Armageddon)
YesNoSoso: 0

I appreciate the effort of skipping the entire origin story and the beginning subplot of Bruce Banner trying to control the Hulk through meditation and training, but it doesn't deliver on an entertaining movie. Look, Hollywood, I know you want to make a Hulk movie, but perhaps our CGI/Special effects just aren't up to snuff yet to legitimately pull it off. I literally went to the kitchen and made a sandwich when The Hulk and The Abomination were fighting, I just can't get into those CGI fight scenes (The Neo/Mr Smith brawl in the second Matrix comes to mind). And the best Hulk villain you can come up with is essentially another Hulk? How boring is that?

Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)

Director: Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth, Blade II)
Stars: Ron Perlman ("Batman: The Animated Series", Police Academy: Mission to Moscow)
Selma Blair (Cruel Intentions, A Guy Thing)
YesNoSoso: 2

Sooooo cool. I will fully admit that if Guillermo hadn't directed this movie it would have probably been an emphatic 0, but he did, so its not. Imagine the same awesome effects seen in Pan's Labyrinth combined with a relatively interesting comic book Hero storyline and you have the Hellboy series. Del Toro is somehow able to tell a fairly complicated story laced with ludicrous characters without making it seem ludicrous.
