Changd my mind and bought tickets online. O. M. G.
Wow. Not sure what else to say but wow. I mean, DAMN. I loved The Dark Knight as a character driven comic book movie. But as far as a Summer-fun-popcorn movie? This may be the best comic book movie I have seen. And I grew up a huge comic book nerd as well DP, and had high expectations. But... DAMN.
I'm all-in on Joss Whedon too (yes, I have every season of BTVS on DVD - sue me), his dialouge is smart and fast, awesome fight scenes without an over-reliance on CGI, just a great effing movie.
Oh, and DP? The Hulk OWNS the final 30 minutes...
