This movie perhaps is the next step of the summer blockbuster genre. Action, but not just BLAM, wow --- BLAMM, wow. Prior to seeing this film, I would have doubted that such exists, but this is a somewhat intelligent summer blockbuster, and I am very surprised that it took so long to ever mix the two elements --- BLAMM with brains
I think that the angle that most reviews do not hit on precisely is that this is a great monster movie. It has all the elements of psychodrama and tragedy, of free dynamic energy and deep misgivings, and questions the distinction of good/evil. Whether unintended or not, it is a postmodern Jekyll and Hyde, a cautionary tale about human genetic experimentation (and yes, dysfunctional human relationships)
I enjoyed this movie a great deal, it falls short of X2 probably more in terms of performances from the actors, but that may have been by design. But this one is clearly, the second best of the bunch with elements that push the limits of genre, and hopefully take higher and better results for the next comic book adaptations --- I'm excited --- go see (the) HULK
