Bird will have plenty of future opportunity to helm a Star Wars feature since Disney plans to release one a year, every year, for the rest of time.

Please, make Incredibles 2 a priority.

I'm in total agreement with you about Theon. I'm tired of this nameless torturer and I would like some resolution to this plot line. Theon doesn't return til Book 5 so I'm curious as to how they're tying him in so much earlier in the narrative.

Osha was pretty annoying, for sure. I'm not into her and Meera bitching about who's a better ranger either. I don't think the show is properly displaying Brans badassdom so far. More dreams, less rabbit skinning.

Great review. Glad to find someone on here who shares a passion for this show like myself.

I get two 'After Earth' stills before I get one comment on the death of Ray Harryhausen? What sort of world is this?

The best thing to do with the Hulk, as far as standing on his own, is to follow the formula Mark Waid has set up with Indestructible Hulk. Banner works as an agent for SHIELD and learns to control and manage his condition, "like diabetes" he says. We see a Banner seemingly at peace with the Hulk. This would be an interesting approach, as it would allow Banner to flex his Incredible Brain (not Hulk) more often.

Plus, the series allows for tie-ins with Coulson, Maria Hill, Iron Man, Thor, Jotunheim, and soon-to-be Daredevil (recently reacquired by Marvel).

If they get Mark Waid to pen a film titled "The Indestructible Hulk" it will not fail.

@skywise Agreed. Looks like Edward Scissorhands.

Nvm. I guess an e-tron is an Audi. I don't know sh*t about cars.

Loved the twist. Ben Kingsley killed it. Thought it was a nice hybridization of two characters (not like the disaster that was Iron Man 2 with Crimson Dynamo-Whiplash-Omega Red).

Nevertheless, I'm underwhelmed. I appreciated the spectacle, but that's about all I found it to be. A specatcle. I found no mythology (other than AIM and etron [ultron?]). I could do without all of the snarky humor, witty banter, and a hundred suits. How about some plot progression? Some mythos? Too much espionage. Too much of Pepper being a ninja. Too much whining. Tony griped about having PTSD and there was ZERO resolution to that storyline.

I do agree with what you say about starting off simple. It was a good movie. Just a little more mythology and plot progression.
