Did the Hulk Steal the Show?

Marvel's The Avengers was an amazing success. The movie is breaking records for gross box office sales daily. Everywhere you turn there is more buzz about the Avengers, but which Avenger was most liked, most enjoyed?

If you ask me, it was the Hulk. They finally got the right mix of awesome power and simple brutish humor. Mark Ruffalo was the best Bruce Banner yet. He was not a sad pathetic figure that was either drowning in self pity or thrown into a rage. He had more control and a better handle on who he was, a potential time bomb and the baddest powerhouse in Marvel's superhero lineup. The madder he gets the stronger he gets.

Of all the previous Hulks, The Avengers provides my favorite. Glad to hear Ruffalo signed a six movie contract.

Of course, before CGI there were body builders painted green.
