We have all seen each of THE AVENGERS in some form or another in each of their own stand-alone features; all except one. Yes we have seen Eric Bana and Edward Norton’s impressivly CGI’ed mugs tranferred into brute that is The Hulk, but Mark Ruffalo’s re-cast incarnation has only been glimpsed at in dark frames of the films ‘blink-and-miss-him’ trailers and television spots.
Of all the characters in THE AVENGERS, I have always had a soft spot for Bruce Banner’s ‘green mean’. Most probably because of my love for the Saturday morning cartoon I grew up watching as an easily stunned kid. And here he is, in the closest form any of the three actors to portray the Hulk (on the big-screen), has come to looking like the actor playing his human alter-ego.
It appears they have captured Ruffalo to a tee, lets hope the team-up matches the hype and Joss Whedon has created the best superhero flick since SPIDER-MAN 2. THE AVENGERS hits cinemas 27th April. Hands up who’s going?

“[C]reated the best superhero flick since SPIDER-MAN 2.”
That comment is laughable. Iron Man, Captain America, X-Men: First Class and The Incredible Hulk are all better than Spider-Man 2, and that’s just Marvel. Looking at DC, it’s even more laughable; did you forget Batman Begins and The Dark Knight? Both are highly superior to Spider-Man 2. It’s not even close.

Apologies Chris, I was only thinking of Marval adaptations when I wrote this piece, but you are right both Nolan’s Batman films are masterpieces. But regarding the others you have mentioned it is all about opinions and I value yours as much as any ones. As much as I enjoyed IRON MAN and X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, I have yet to see Raimi’s SPIDER-MAN 2 bettered in the Marvel universe. Thanks for you input
