angry ninja movie review - two for the price of one

June 22nd, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in movies, news, reviews

so i said that i was going to catch either get smart or the the incredible hulk this weekend. well it turns out that fate wanted me to watch both. why fate?

  1. i had a free movie pass
  2. the lady was out of town
  3. i dont have air conditioning
  4. it was hot as hades this weekend
  5. did i mention that i dont have air conditioning?

those five things just dont occur over by accident. fate.

get smart

now i remember watching the tv show on nick at nite when i was a kid. from what i can remember, and my memory is pretty fuzzy, the movie did a pretty good job portraying the characters (i just dont remember agent 99 - anne hathaway - ever being so hot… or so young.)

steve carell did a pretty good job as max smart. he was his usual funny self and the rock had some moments as well. add in the guy who plays hiro on heroes, and you have yourself a pretty entertaining movie.

rating: 3/5 angry ninjas

the incredible hulk

given the bust/horribleness that was hulk in 2003, i had mild expectations for this film. i just dont think that a very good comic book story can be written about a big green giant who gets angry and smashes things.

well add the word “incredible” in the title and what do you get? an incredible movie? well, no. you get a movie that is much better. edward norton is as usual, solid, and the fight at the end is one of the better comic book fights in recent memory.

iron man could learn a lesson or two that area (if im watching comic book movie, i want to see an epic fight, not some pansy lets-just-fly-up-as-high-as-we-can-and-insert-spoiler-here). speaking of iron man, tony stark makes a little cameo at the end of the movie. not sure if i should be excited, or dreading what it precludes.

rating: 3/5 angry ninjas

so there you have it folks. two movies this weekend. both worth watching (at least renting on dvd). now i need to figure out a way to not burninate.
