More Action: The Incredible Hulk or Iron Man?

[Snikt]

Let's not forget the foot chases as well. These can be very interesting as well. You're watching our hero run from the government, trying to avoid the change and we know he's just one step away from Hulking out.

i'm not really sure i agree with this. just because a comic book throws in humor, doesnt mean the critics love it. fantastic four attempted to throw in humor and it was not well received from the critics, whereas batman begins and superman returns both did decent with the critics and i would not say that they have humor in it. if the humor fits and done well, or if the movie is well made, the critics like it. there was no inconsistincies or slow parts in iron man, therefore they liked it. fantastic four/x men 3/spider-man 3, a ton of boring and a ton of mistakes, bad grades lol. although, i will agree, i think iron man is definitely being over rated right now. to say that iron man is better than batman or superman, i would say no. but to me, the entire spidey trilogy is over rated.

I agree with the Fantastic Four stuff, but thats why I said "in most cases", FF not being one of them. But even with BB and SR, almost without question, everything negative centered around the tone being too serious, especially BB. I thought IM definitely had some slow parts in it, the whole captivity thing dragged on a bit long I felt, but thats just my opinion, I still liked the movie, and think its Marvel's best so far. At the same time though, I couldnt help but feel a little funny at the reaction to it, IronMan "fully" only shows up twice, if you knock Hulk (and some people) BB for being slow, how can you justify IM being even slower, other than to say that Downey jr gave a great performance and that it was..."funny" in most of the slow parts?

I saw IronMan and loved that movie I plan on seeing it at least one or two more times. Now the Hulk movie I am gonna guess and say it will have more action but IronMan did everything right it never got boring the Best comic book movie to date in my opinion. Incredible Hulk I think will give it a serious run, and will be awesome in its own right Hulk is my favorite character and I can't wait to see the movie.

NICELY SAID! Nice to see new opinions floating around here!

usually people complain about the action in sr and that the story was boring. i don't really know too many people who complain about batman begins so if they say the tone, than ok, but thats the character of batman. i think people are taking to iron man because there are a ton thats new in the movie. he doesnt have a secret identity, at first he's almost a villain, he doesnt really have much tragedy in his life, etc. plus add to that, the special effects. plus it seems like iron man is a superhero that is willing to kill the bad guy, another difference in the other superheroes. batman in nature however, is a more serious character, if they made it funny, people would think its adam west's interpretation. its not just having the character of iron man on the screen, its how the story flowed and it mixed comedy and serious. the movie only had iron man in two parts, but it was also the buildup to actually seeing him. plus you only see him in the red and yellow twice, you still have the first suit (thats bulky) and also him testing out the suit (when its all silver), so you should really take that into account.

What do you think iron man movie had a little action i think.I hope the hulk will get a lot more action.

I don't know because The Incredible Hulk hasn't even opened yet. It's rumored to have more action scenes, or more than the director and Ed Norton wanted. But this sort of conflict between studio and talent is garden variety studio banter. I'm betting we'll see two versions of both movies on the horizon: One theatrical and one Director's cut. Who's to say alot more action scenes weren't cut from Ironman due to running time?

Sure Iron Man had action but Hulk will have far more!
1. according to Empire Magazine the movie starts in the North Pole and Leterrier had said that he hulks out after the 1st 3 min. and a long time ago Leterrier had pitched to Marvel an image of the Hulk fighting 6 polar bears.
2. The new trailer shows what should be an awesome action scene at a college campus. Between Hulk and the military
3. The trailer showed Bruce Hulking out on some bed being examined so u never know what that's gonna bring.
**4.** THE HULK VS THE ABOMINATION FOR 26 MINUTES!!! With the military joining in of course
So yeah lots more action for "The Incredible Hulk"

because they cost a lot of money too make thats why, studios dont usualy cut out the action scenes they cut out other stuff.

I'm thinking TIH will have more action than IM simply due to the nature of the character. When the Hulk appears, things smash.

I have seen enough movies to realize that the amount of action is irrelevant to the story and the achievement of the action sequences.

Leterrier made the big promise: a 26 minutes action sequence. Ang Lee's Hulk had a 26 minutes action sequence.

Nope.

Leterrier said he was misquoted and that the final act is 26 minutes long and the actual battle is 10-15 minutes. He said that 26 minutes of two monsters fighting would get pretty boring.
