My problem with the X-Men movies is that the stories are played too straight--there's none of the melodrama and juice of the comics. Also, if you notice, they don't work as a team--the fights are all one-on-one. The idea of a team comic is that the characters fight together. The first one didn't have a lot of excitement, while the second seemed disjointed. I like Brian Cox's acting but his Evil General was just too cliched.

Hulk went wrong, I think, because the director wasn't content to make a comic book movie out of a comic book, and tried to mix all kinds of pop psychology into it. I think he caught the Mr. Hyde angle perfectly well--I mean, it's pretty obvious--but his story was trying for some kind of Oedipal angle that was just dull.

That was my feeling too ... I looked forward to seeing it and was bored by the over-plotting and psycho-babble.
