This was a great film! Not an epic like 1978's Superman, but great. I think Marvel is doing the right thing by taking over the production end of it's own properties, rather then licensing out to other studios as it had with bomb films like The first "HULK", and "Fantastic Four" series. Marvel says it plans to do a lot of cross over stories and characters in future films it's producing, as it is a better over all story tactic for them to be able to have control of how and where all the characters are now used in a single conforming universe. I sure hope we will see a re-boot of X-Men at some point, as well as Spiderman now that it looks like the Tobey Maguire series is done. I'm not sure how long these other studios have options on the licensing for those properties, but I would think it's somewhat limited. Let's just hope Marvel know how to hire good directors that fit each title and character. The new Hulk trailer looks a bit better then the last one from a month ago, so I can only hope we get another good film in June. If Hulk does good, and Batman {from rival DC comics} kicks ass like we know it will, that would be 3 hit comic related films in the same season. That is sure to have distribution studios fighting and willing to put up big bucks so they can distribute new product as fast as possible before the latest comic book related trend dries up. That may be good news for fans, or could spell over saturation.
