The Incredible Hulk
-
16 Jun 2008i saw it yesterday and wasnt very impressed somehow.
The Hulk looked way better but i still had the last cast in mind and couldnt concentrate on the new cast it just looked to me as when they were glued on the old ones
some editing cheesynesses like blabla days without incident wasnt the best idea.
in general it was a ok film i enjoyed it but that was all. -
16 Jun 2008I enjoyed it but it was too formulaic.
Basically almost every Superhero movie in the last 5 years has gone this direction:
-ACT1: main character is normal or seemingly normal at start of film....but chased by enemies or facing some dire problem
-ACT2: main character then develops new traits or develops new abilities (or actual traits are revealed, as in "the hulk")
-villian created through similar process
-ACT3: final showdown between villian and hero
-good guy wins
-sequel hinted at
I mean seriously....The first hulk was like this (the 2003 version), this version of the hulk was like this, iron man was like this, superman was like this, batman was like this (although batman was awesome), fantastic 4 was like that, etc etc
CG was awesome though, and Ed Norton is fun to watch (great actor). -
16 Jun 2008I saw it this weekend and really enjoyed it. I have to say however,
that I agree with Tyson in saying that it was formulaic and trite in the deep storyline dept. It is almost inevitable though for this phase of "garbage" to pass through as software, artists, and studios become more and more capable of delivering photoreal and seamless CG. I just hope that it's only a phase, and that there is a power shift coming that will enable a new generation of stories with a voice that supercedes that of popcorn fun and simple summer blockbusters. Though they have their place, I couldn't help feeling cheated a bit during the climax and payoff of the Hulk. Shameless franchise marketing is something that bugs me in a movie. It is, in my opinion, a cheap trick that writers use in episodic television programs filled with tawdry affairs and dry plotlines, allowing the viewer to jump in and not engage at any time in the story, making them numb and bombarding them with product placement... Oh crap, i'm on my soapbox. Sorry guys...

16 Jun 2008t. i strongly agree with you but somehow they are the "start" of the upcoming trilogies (ya know a good movie has to be a trilogy these days) but the problem is that no real story is revealed in the sequels. they just turn into a feature film long serie episode like fantasitic 4 (bah) or spiderman.(ok some plots were continued over the movies but it wasnt crucial imo).
