- I really liked Ang Lee’s Hulk when it came out eons ago, so maybe I’m predisposed to not loving this one as much. Then again, I also liked the bad cartoon TV show from the sixties, so I’m all over the place with my appreciation of the Hulk.
- So… basically this movie all about setting up a sequel for a movie that didn’t have that great a story in the first place?
- I did like how they skipped the whole origin story thing, because I’m getting bored of origin stories. On the other hand, this means that the jolly green giant gets introduced a lot faster so that we can have more HULK SMASH action. When he actually said “HULK SMASH” I wanted to die.
- Wow, Betty Ross got upgraded to Cellular Biologist! Score.
- Tim Roth looking like he does at his age is kind of frightening.
- The Hulk is a practitioner of parkour, Y/Y? I forgot that he likes to make those giant leaps and then remembered how on the tv cartoon they always wrote THOOM! on screen when he leapt.
- After seeing the Hellboy II trailer before this, I kind of wish that the monsters were done as creature costumes rather than solely as CGI. The monsters were LOLtastically fake-looking, which really took me out of the movie. The one thing I really liked about Ang Lee’s Hulk was that you could see a little bit of Eric Bana’s features in his face, which I thought was nice for characterization and gave the Hulk a little bit of soul. This Hulk completely lacks that, although I suppose it makes sense given that Marvel apparently scrapped all of Ed Norton’s characterization-heavy scenes, so who cares if he’s got personality so long as he can smash things?
- So when the first thousand rounds of bullets just bounced off the Hulk’s apparently bulletproof skin, what exactly compelled the military to keep shooting at him? I never understand this.
- I am saddened by the omission of Major Talbot and Rick Jones. I also strongly dislike William Hurt
in anything recentlyas Thunderbolt Ross. No general played the way he played him would ever have earned the nickname Thunderbolt. Fail. Bring back Sam Elliot. - So wait, Bruce Banner transforms if his heart rate reaches 200 beats per minute, regardless of how he’s feeling at the time? It’s not just anger that triggers it?
- I like Ed Norton.
- How exactly did he find Mr. Blue, anyway? Did he show up in a search engine when Banner Googled “how to cure gamma ray poisoning”? Also, it’s totally illegal to mail blood samples.
- Truthfully, I think Tony Stark’s appearance at the end was the best part.
The Incredible Hulk
Needs more Rick Jones.
IMDB Plot Synopsis Fugitive Dr. Bruce Banner must utilize the genetic accident that transforms him into a giant, rampaging hulk to stop a former soldier that purposely becomes an even more dangerous version.
