THE INCREDIBLE HULK

The incredible hulk is kind of the outcast of the MCU mainly because it is Edward Norton that plays Bruce Banner instead of Mark ruffalo who plays banner in the rest of the movies. The incredible hulk starts off with banner getting zapped by the Gamma radiation in the pre-credits which then turns him into the hulk. the movie revolves around banner in hiding at first he is hiding in the slums of Brazil but is found because his blood falls into a bottle at the factory that he works in and kills the man that drinks it due to the high traces of Gamma radiation. General Ross then finds him although he manages to escape he then travels back to the united states to try and find a cure at the university he was working at but finds nothing at the same time General Ross has followed him back to the US with a full team armed to the teeth and also with a super soldier that they created not long prior. in the end the team are defeated by the hulk and the super soldier too but he takes more serum which makes him become a hulk like creature called abomination Bruce is persuaded to fight abomination who at this time is ripping apart Harlem in the end Hulk defeats abomination and new York is saved although this makes for one of the worst fight sequences in the MCU

overall i’d give this movie a 4/10

IRONMAN

Ironman is the first movie that starts off the Marvel cinematic universe. It portrays a successful Tony Stark (played by Robert Downey JR) who is a billionaire weapons manufacturer CEO. The first act of the movie focuses on the classic comic book villain’s the ten rings kidnap Tony Stark and force him to build a super missile called JERICHO. Stark pretends to comply and secretly builds a weaponized suit of armor with his lab partner Ho Yinsen. Stark ends up fighting his way out of the caves and escapes the ten rings. he is then found walking through the desert by a search team led by Rhodey.

The second act starts as Stark is back in the united states and holds a press conference announcing that Stark industries will no longer be manufacturing weapons. Stark’s partner Obadiah Stane is unhappy with this outcome as it could end up bringing down the business. meanwhile Stark starts to build his mark 2 suit to see where he can go with these it makes for a funny scene where he tests flight for the first time and ends up flying into a wall he then sorts out flight and takes the mark 2 on a test drive but does not account for the extreme cold at a high altitude the suit freezes over and he almost plummets to his death. because of this flaw he ends up making the mark 3 that can withstand extreme temperatures and with this suit he travels to the middle east to free a village from the grasp of the ten rings then n the flight back from this flight he ends up in a dog fight with two US Air Force fighter jets of which Rhodey is in charge in the end rhodey calls off the jets and Stark makes it out safe.

In the third act we find out that Obadiah Stane hired the ten rings to kidnap Tony and he collects parts of the mark 1 iron man suit that is found in the desert. Stane then puts together the mark 1 suit to kill Tony but as we know the good guy always wins stane is taken out by the ark reactor being overloaded by Stark’s assistant and love interest pepper Potts. Stark is injured by the explosion but survives and is then taken to another press conference where he says the words “I AM IRONMAN” thereby introducing superheros to earth

overall i’d give this movie a 7/10
