really? i think maybe some actors have little 'tricks' and sometimes you like those tricks but after you see through them then they just become mannerisms (like DeNiro or Hoffman) i guess i just don't like norton's mannerisms (and he's a little bitch!)

One negative...

The show I attended last night was less than halfway sold out; I hope the budget wasn't 200,000,000; I think positive word of mouth will keep this film going, but I don't think it had a huge opening. Maybe ,I'm wrong, I hope.It's really a fun monster mash.

They're trying... the most recent tv commercial I saw had Stark's cameo (his only one?) in it to try and capitalize on Iron Man's success.

21 million opening for Friday.

The budget is 150 milion and the one day Friday gross is 21 million; it should not have a huge drop because most people liked it. The Ang Lee HULK movie had one of the largest second week drops in film history; this film should hold on much better because people are generally pleased with it. Word of mouth is very good on this ; it was deadly on the first one. Bring on BATMAN BEGINS II!

i predict about 52 million opening weekend - probably gross a bit over 200 mil domestic - hopefully it will do much better overseas (which it should if its not so dense as Lee's)

The movie was AWESOME! I just got back from the theater and I want to smash everything in sight!

They even managed to work in a cameo from the late Bill Bixby:D

A cameo from Bixby? What, is someone watching "My Favorite Martian" on TV, or something like that?
