Superman: The Last Son of Krypton (1996)
A Good DVD
I enjoyed this start to the Animated Series. It gave Superman an origin that seemed to simplify the destruction of Krypton, yet tied in the comics a great deal. What I liked about this incarnation the most was how Superman wasn't overly powerful like in some incarnations. The animation is very crisp, and Tim Daily is PERFECT as the voice for Kal El. I got such a kick out of seeing Lex getting annoyed by the quiet, hovering Superman near the DVD's ending. I never caught all of the series' premier, so this $10 DVD was worth every penny. I only wished that the show lasted longer, too bad the WB nixed it. Its my fave DC animated series bar none so far, including Batman.
Hulk (2003)
Great movie, not to be confused with a Superhero movie
If you enjoy good film making and the Hulk (duh) then this movie is a blast. DO NOT expect a spiderman-ish, teen-friendly romp with Eric Bana making out with Jennifer Connely. It is a well paced, incredibly well edited, story driven experience of a movie.
Bruce Banner is a character you must understand before you can enjoy. He needs the Hulk to act out his inner emotions, which can be seen oh-to easily in the dog fight sequence where his love for Betty overcomes the freedom and power based urges of the Hulk. I loved this movie and am proud to say I bought the DVD the day it was released and saw it three times in theaters.
Hulk is a great movie, give it a shot, you wont be disappointed unless you only care for idiotic, stereotypical characters. However, if you are under 12 and/or are impatient, skip the first 45 minutes of the film. Trust me, I had to force family members to do the same.
