Interesting notion, the comic panels in the movie...it really
associated the film with the comic - however, is that really something
that should have been gotten across? did they really do anything to
enhance the film? - personally I dont think they were necessary, and
looked a bit confusiong in a few places - they didnt work for me -
besides Im there to see a movie, not experience a comic book -
Maintain the medium on which the particular artistry is presented, is
what I say.

....and for the record, my theater appeared to have presented it in
2.?:1 (I dont know - it didnt quite look like 2.35 and a bit too wide
for 1.85....is there a 2.1? my DVD of Minority Report says its 2.39,
so I wouldnt be surprised if Hulk was displayed in 2.1

I thought the comic panels were awesome - much better than the script. I've
always enjoyed PIP since both seasons of 24 and I hope more people start doing
it. It's a great way to show more action or at least multiple coverage of the
same shot. The one scene where the badguy is walking away from the main camera
you get to see the wide shot and the scowl on his face in the reverse close-up.
Makes the actor have to act even when he's not facing the camera.
