Predictions

Well, the first reviews of the Iron Man movie are coming in, but before I read any of them, I would like to make a few predictions about how the receptions of Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk will differ.

#1. Iron Man will be praised for the high quality of its CG imagery.

The Incredible Hulk will be excoriated for its CG work.  It will either be called not as good as that of the first movie or, the go to for CG, it will not be “believable.”

The CG in both movies will be of the same quality.

2. Iron Man will receive generally good reviews from both comics fans and the general audience.

The Incredible Hulk will be picked apart by those who feel it is not as good is the first movie, just as bad as the first movie, or not as good as the live-action TV series.

3. Robert Downy Jr. will be praised for his potrayal of Tony Stark.

Edward Norton will be criticised for not being more like Bill Bixby.
My point?  People have already decided that Iron Man will be good and The Incredible Hulk will be bad, and the reviews will reflect this.
