View Full Version : Movie Review: The Hulk
Succinctly said.
But, I'll still check it out 'cause anything with CG in it deserves to have my $8, or however much theaters charge these days. :D

Though it moved somewhat slowly and they probably could have fit that story into a hour-long movie instead of a 2+ hour one, I thought it was decent. Certainly the CG Hulk and all his crazy stunts were amazing.
Rottentomatoes (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/TheHulk-1123219/) reviewers seemed to think it was pretty good too. (62% T-meter)

I liked it. Yea, it sarted off slow, but it was essential to build the character. And it's not like they cramed it together. The movie was a good 2.5 hours.
I really liked when the Hulk was running around the punchbowl and he caught the missle, then bit the warhead off and spit it at the chopper:monkey:

All the contoversy was about the CG Hulk and how it would look. But by the end of the film, that was all I wanted to see "Hulk Smash!" So more Hulk, less Story, 'Nuff said.

I thought it was boring as hell. Glad my gf and I saw it for free because I wouldn't have wanted to pay for it. The scenes where he is the Hulk are pretty cool and the Hulk is interesting to watch, but everything else is sooooooooooooooooo dull.

It was all right, but I won't be seeing it again in theaters... I think that I just have no real interest in the character... Sorry Stan.

It's ok, his other characters have made him richer than stink anyway. :D
I feel it spent way to much time on the back story. After a while I was like...that's enough I get the point. Rough childhood, crazy dad, repressed images...blah, blah, blah..whine whine...Hulk smash good, Hulk sad bad. Smash good, Sad bad....SMASH SMASH SMASH!!!!
I thought it was good and worth the money, but no movie should be that long in a theater. My poor arse:( :ass: .

It also didn't seem to have a clearly defined conflict or resolution. Just like... poor Bruce is having a rough time of it, and... its over.

actually, he was just on 60 minutes II a couple nights ago...he doesn't own those characters or any rights to them, and is basically just an employee of marvel....or course his salary is something like 1 mil a year.
i think he's currently suing marvel tho, so that may change

Hey, considering the screen time he got in Hulk, I'm sure he brought in a few mil.

That's sarcasm, right?
I must be a very bad movie critic, because I liked it.
Actually I'm an awfull food, wine, beer critic, because it's very hard to find any of the above that I dislike...

It was kinda boring. I didn't buy into it all.
Starts out sooooo slow, ends OK. The green hulk was cooler and more real then I thought it was gonna be at least.
OMFG, the beginning was boring. And unnecessary, in my opinion.

The "green" hulk? Why are you specifying on the color? Is there another hulk in the movie that I didn't notice? A blue hulk, maybe?

Have you ever wondered why the color green? I mean, wouldn't orange be so much cooler. I wonder if Stan Lee just thought of what it would be like if the Jolly Green Giant got really pissed off.
And BTW, what did the Hulk ever do that made him so "incredible" anyway? I mean, when I get pissed off and smash stuff and talk like a cave man noone ever says, "Wow! That guy is really incredible!" Maybe I'm just not big enough, and size really is all that matters.

He was grey originally, but the printer had issues keeping him consistent, so Stan just said... Um, no one is green, so lets make him green.

I saw that show too, thought it was interesting, how it was like a quick desision, but fits so well now.
