Official Hulk movie thread

[TheObsoleteMan]

Remind me again about that. Been a while since I seen it.

The microwave machine that evaporates water, but apparently has no effect on people. They used basically the same plot in the 1966 Adam West movie except they actually evaporated the people in that one.

I hope if they do a sequel that Norton does return, i thought he was great.

They need to have the scene where Banner changes into Hulk when hes changing the tire, i really remember this from the TV show and was kind of hoping it was going to get to see it i this one.

Just saw Hulk last night--loved it. I loved Norton as Bruce Banner and Roth was nice and evil throughout. The end battle was kinda cheesy though, but overall I thought it was a good flick. And better than Indy vs. Space Invaders by leaps and bounds.

i really liked the end battle. it was the obligatory hero vs villain but with the hulk it's what you wanted to see (at least for me anyway). i wanted it more than say iron man vs iron monger...which i liked but it felt more thrown in than the hulk vs. abomination. but i totally agree it was better than indy (but so was iron man). just makes me very excited about marvel's future movies because i think they are batting .1000 so far with iron man and hulk.

That'd be cool, but the power of it in the show was that it was the first transformation and they really poured a lot into the transformation that time as the first one, it was very cool, but I think in the current level of transformations and such, it wouldn't have the same impact.

Received my score this morning, listening to it right now, so cool, great stuff Craig Armstrong did for this score, I can see similiarities to his score for The Bone Collector.

Actually, the phrase "batting 1000" would be 1.00. A batting average of .1000 is actually really ^^^^ing horrible. Just wanted you to know.

But yes, Marvel is batting 1000 with they direction they are going with their movies and producing everything in-house in their own studio.

stupid math

The First Half of the movie is actually amazingly good.But the 2nd half is just suckitude at its highest.

I had to go back and find this post as I just rewatched Batman Begins... and...

Shai, you ignorant ****.

Batman Begins is THE best comic book adaptation (and this is coming from a longtime Marvel fan who now that he's back collecting ONLY collects Marvel titles).

Respectfully submitted of course.

Finally saw Hulk today and loved it. Great action and humor mix and the nods to the old tv series were great. I can't wait for the next one.

 

[MaulFan]

I went and saw it a second time today, still just as great. I'm a bit vague on my comics, who's Nick Fury, I noticed that name in the opening montage on a document and figured that's somethign significant.

Also realized, don't know if it's a real place but the lab was name Culver University and in the old 70's TV series, Banner worked at the Culver Institute, another nod to the old TV show.

Nick Fury is the head of SHIELD.

MaulFan, a friend of mine just gave this to me as a gift, if you love the old Connery Bond's I suggest you pick this up, they recently changed the character to mirror a Samuel L. Jackson in the Ultimates, but the 60's Nick Fury that Jim S. did is really cool, cheesey fun but fun none the less.

I missed that one. Nice catch.

There's plenty to miss the first time around, they really wove that stuff subtly in there, benefit of seeing it a second time.

..Just saw this yesterday...liked it. Marvels got a good thing brewing here...

Fixed.

Just got home from seeing it and I must say that I really liked it. I did not care too much for Liv Tyler but everything else was right on. Marvel is having a good year and is finally back to making decent movies.

Good Marvel Flicks = Iron Man, Incredible Hulk, X-Men, X2, Spider-Man

So-So Marvel Flicks = Spider-Man 2, Fantastic 4, Blade

Bad Marvel Flicks = Daredevil, The Punisher, The Hulk, X-Men 3 (only due to story)

Terrible Marvel Flicks = Elecktra, Spider-Man 3



Have not seen Fantastic 4: Silver Surfer, Ghost Rider, Blade 2 and 3

Don't worry about staying--they moved the extra post-credits scene and now it ends the movie instead. Nothing after the credits but the lights coming up in the theater.

I just saw it last night, and was suprised about that. I stayed hoping there would be an additional Stark and Nick Fury cameo at the end, like the end of this short:https://youtube.com/watch?v=upvK_P7rF0w (shameless plug)

My Hulk is the Hulk from the TV series. Some of the comics are good, but I never cared for most of them because of how over the top they were.
I loved how low-key the series was, and how even though Bixby's David Banner was on the run, he was a good man who still went out of his way to help people. To me, Ferrigno's Hulk was basically the Karloff Frankenstein Monster on steroids, which is what inspired the character in the first place.

I loved the film's references to the series, and it was obviously alot more faithful than the '03 film. I loved the origin, the cameos, the music and the fact that he was called "David" at the end of the film.

Was Norton a better Banner than Bixby? For me, no. Bill Bixby IS David Bruce Banner, just like Michael Keaton Is Batman, RDJ is Iron Man and Christopher Reeve is Superman; but Norton did a damn good job with what he was given. The CGI Hulk looked pretty dissapointing in his first two appearances, but looked pretty bad-ass by the time the climactic fight happened.

I think with today's EFX a heavily made-up body-builder, CGI'ed up to look massive would have been SOOO much more believable.

Overall a good film that I wish to see again; waaaaaay better than the Ang Lee film, but not as good as IRON MAN, which was a 4 star comic film all the way.

Finally got to see this - really enjoyed it.

I do have one question - the scientist that Banner was chatting with (that later helps soup-up Abomination) - who is he in the scheme of things? The shot of him appearing to change followed by him smiling led me to believe that he is being set up for the sequel.

 

[Minimodel]

I saw it tonight with my G/F and it s a great film.I really enjoyed it and im hungry for much more from the Marvel studios.There were cheers and applause when Stark turned up!
