    No, what about it though?

    Batman Begins is a close second, but the story is kind of cliched and been done before. The Watchmen had an angle that interests me more: aging superheroes past their prime and forgotten by the people they worked to save, making one last push for relevancy and meaning in their lives.

    The comic is pretty much one of the best comics out there, the movie did a good adaptation, but there were some scenes they skipped and the silk scepter 2 in the movie was terribly done, i`d say is worth a read.

    Here's the new (pre-Thor) Marvel One-Shot: "A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Thor's Hammer"

    edit2: Added different link to the video, had a 720p youtube version linked earlier but it apparently got deleted by the request of Disney... pfft >_>

    ^Everyone around me couldn't hear Hulk give out his best line of the film cause they were all still laughing too much to even hear him say it. I repeated it for them, having seen it already online (like a dumbass).

    Just saw this movie today. I don't get how the Hulk suddenly went from uncontrollable timebomb to invincible, playful tank, which gave the avengers their winning card.

    But yeah, it was pretty cool.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    If he gets stressed into hulking out he goes on a rampage, if he hulks out willingly he`s tame.

    It doesn't make any sense and is just a cute one-liner - much like a lot of things in the movie.

    I'm with you, didn't see the movie until just today. Liked it a lot, in spite of the fact that some of the hype had me expecting something more. Still, probably the best Marvel movie since Spider-man 2 to me.

    Is that canon or a more recent change to the character? I can't recall if he had that ability as the green Hulk.

    Actually I think it's a reference to original Hulk from the early comics. He often said "puny human" before smashing someone. They even referred to it in the 2003 Hulk movie.

    I wasn't responding to that.

    It was the last thing in the thread quoted from the movie that could possibly be considered a "cute one-liner."
