well it looks good and it is directed by Ang Lee crouching tiger hidden dragon. <font color="green"> </font color>

It would be a better movie if you'd post in the off-topic section.

Just how may times does a person need to explain the rules of the board to this joker? I'm suddenly having a "Silence of the Lambs" moment...

"It puts the lotion on it's skin and puts it in the basket"

Anyone else having Gill at the bottom of a well, sans computer fantasy?

[Tuskinashi]

Ahh, I think I can help answer that one.

Someone logs on to the board for the first time. They visit the column forum first, cause who didn't? When they get here though they still see those threads about "MATRIX IS LIKE GODAGEOWNDEZ!!" "Mpvoes are the l33tss!" and other threads that have nothing to do with the columns at the shoot. After someone sees this they assume that this is where you post all of the entertainment threads, and the off-topic is more of a place for politics and what not.

I'm telling you a simple closing of the columns forum and deleting most of the threads inside would do wonders. But nooooo... nobody ever listens to the self-proclaimed professor until the land is over run with anything but column threads.

[Tongue]

No-ones listening pal.

[Spike_Spiegel]

From the bits and pices I've seen. Yes, the Hulk is a good film. And if it turns up to be a pice of crap movie that everyone hates. Then you all can kick me in the nuts for being wrong. (Don't hold me to that. It's not a promise.) But I'm pretty confident it will be a good film. In my eyes you can't go wrong with Marvel comics.

[JonS]

what about Punisher with dolph lungren?

(pronounce: mai nem eez frank kassel, deh pooneesher)

/forums/images/icons/tongue.gif

[Spike_Spiegel]

That one wasn't the Punisher's fault... It was the fault of Dolph Lungren. And the fault of the hack writer that conjured up a lame plot for the movie. I wouldn't blame Marvel. I still would like to see a remade Punisher movie, with better casting and directing. One that focuses on his origin of becoming the Punisher. Or have a story that has Frank Castle and Nick Fury working together. Those two could kick a lot of ass when teamed up.

[Gillan]

apparently sandra bullock is going to play wonder women in the new film wonder women

[Tongue]

My god . No smileys? What's going on? Has Gil finally reached 14?

[Spike_Spiegel]

I'm still waiting to hear an announcement that Marvel will have a movie based on the Dead Pool comics. A movie based on Dead Pool could have so much potential...word. And I think that Collin Ferril could fit the bill as Wade Wilson(Dead Pool for those that don't know), I think he could pull it off nicely.

[code6enterprises]

I don't know if Hulk is a good film, and no one else does either. Because it isn't out yet.

[Omaru]

Funny how no one seems to recap that Crappy Nick fury: Agent of Shield Movie starring David Hasselhoff.

[Tongue]

And those cheesy 80's Spiderman ones. And the Captain America one as well.

[syruss]

the hulk looks amazing, but then they always show you the good bits.

[psychofiend]

I think it looks like a good movie based on the graphics alone, the Hulk in this one looks so much better than the classic tv series where they painted a body builder green.

[Razorback]

I am not saying that I have seen this movie... but if I had seen it I would probably say that it is not what people seem to be expecting. I think that fans of the comics will either love it for being a more serious take on the character or will hate it for being too "artsy".

It is like "Crouching Hulk, Hidden Message". /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

[thasagger]

I personaly think the hulk sucked bigg harry balls. If I didn't fall asleep so many times because of all the boring parts (30-40%) fo the movie. But for what I was up for it was good. I mean the action sequences. I say download it and save yourself a few bucks.

[irwin1227]

I just got back from seeing it. It was pretty entertaining.
Better than Spider-man...not better than X-2 and nowhere close to the original Batman. But it was pretty good.

[psychofiend]

I saw it just awhile ago, I thought it was 10 times better than Spider Man and 1000 times better than the first X-Men. And Nick Nolte looked like my next door neighbor, I just thought that was funny. The Punisher Trailer looked even better, than Hulk was.

[SylusWeber]

I am sad to say i was not impressed with Hulk really i thought it licked balls and i fell asleep once during it plus the CGI job was pretty a cross between "state puff marshmellow-man" and "shrek" hopefully they dont [censored] up the punisher but what i really cant wait for "The Preacher" that should be [censored] sweet!!!

[SBond1983]

I agree with that last comment. That was the most horrible movie I have ever seen in the 20 years that I've been alive.

'nuff said...

[Razorback]

It was actually pretty good.

I think this is the type of movie that I will like more with repeated viewings. It is a fine psychological drama with some very good action.

I can see why some people dislike it... for them, life should be nothing like a box of chocolates.

RB

[irwin1227]

"ohh the CGi"

Dang people...cant you just suspend belief once and enjoy the movie? hey guess what? Wolverines claws were fake too.
And there is no such thing as spiderman.

[Razorback]

I never get why people make such a big deal about cgi looking "fake".

It is fake... like almost everything else in a movie. I can understand if cgi looks so bad that a retard with Photoshop could have done better but if it is good (or nearly) then why not just ignore the obvious and enjoy the movie... or hate it for the story and acting etc.

At some point even the best cgi looks fake. I don't get why it is so important for people to look for faults with it.

RB

[psychofiend]

I liked that box of chocolates comment.. if you didn't get, it then you probably think life is like a box of chocalates.

[DangerSeeker]

Sometimes fake CGI is what makes it fun. Case in point: Charlie's Angels 2. The movie has tons of completely ludicrous, over the top, unrealistic stuff in it. Why? Because it's fun! It's the sort of thing where if you watch it and say "Oh, THAT couldn't happen," you're missing the whole point. I don't need great effects, I need to be entertained.

[thasagger]

I too found the hulk to be boring at times. Though I fell asleep more than a few time I enjoyed myself enough. But i must say I would rather have downloaded it and saved myself some money

[Razorback]

I think Lynch made a mention of that in his "Monkey Man" strip. Pointing out how fake something looks when it clearly is... at least I think it was Lynch.

RB

[Efexeye]

Yeah, it was good....but I was pretty antsy for the first 45 minutes.

As for the SFX, what superhero movie doesn't look fake? Are you telling me you couldn't point out the points in Spiderman or the Matrix Reloaded where it was obviously jumping between live action and animation? (Look at the Burly Brawl, or the part in Spiderman where he is swinging along the freeway, in particular).

It's still enjoyable- if you nitpick ANY animation, you can find flaws with it. Here's how I sum it up:

Animation will never look totally realistic, because a computer can't draw a circle. Period. Besides, what is their frame of reference? 2D newsprint drawings? And who has ever seen the Hulk before? Who are we to say he looks too fake?

I enjoyed it, once it got going. Nolte's SFX in particular were awesome.

[thesagger]

Aka Thasagger.

The hulk was just dissapointing you guys. I seen it again and it made me like it ever less. It wasn't the cgi or sfx. It was just the movie peroid, itz like they tried to cram to much stuff into one 2 hour movie.

You are raping the English language... please stop.

The cgi looked fine. Interestingly enough, Hulk looked better in daylight than at night. The movie was a bit long for some but I thought it was a perfect length and included some great action, acting, sfx, cgi and a fine story.

[karmattack]

If there's any question, refer to Razorback's post above and be silenced. I have spoken and it is so.

Is my english as bad as this one ?

As for Hulk, saw it yesterday. Thanks god I only paid 5 bucks for my ticket. Don't worth more than that. A good point though : cinema have air-conditioning, which is not the cas with my appartement. /forums/images/icons/grin.gif

[irwin1227]

You know I was thinking about the first hour and how people were complaining about it being slow.

Forget slow, it was what it was supposed to be. This is the first movie in a series. You have to have some backstory to get it going.

The ending was kinda funny. I knew they were going to have that "famous line" put in there. Kinda a twist how they did it. Que?

The only thing I wish they would have done is have Bruce walking on the road, hitchhiking to that eerie piano solo. It always creeped my and made me sad at the same time watching it on the TV Show.

And one more point, Stan Lee. At least he got to say a couple of words rather than have a dumbfounded look on his face like in Spiderman or Daredevil.

[Dr3vil]

*SPOILER CITY! Okay not really, and you should be prepared from the title of the thread and the movie's been out a while now, but still*

I just saw it and I have to say I was very impressed all around.

For being such an iconic character, he's not exactly easy to write. He gets strong when he's mad, the government wants him as a weapon, his father didn't love him, and he likes betty. Those 4 facts can create everything from a saturday morning cartoon to a noir freudian psyche disection, and striking a balance between polor opposites like that ain't easy. The brilliant use of Banner's father (in acting as much as writing) give him an exposition as well as motivation, and proved the main antagonist of the film.

Nevertheless, the film had issues. The begining WAS boring, it bombarded the viewer with expository facts before they knew or gave two sh!ts about characters in a way that was "edgy," but often disorientating, like the a flashback that talked about a dream sequence that was alos a flashback sequence (ya know when the photo of betty against a tree gets animated... that bit). Fact is I think the script could have used another month or three in the oven and many of those boring ass CGI science sequences (ooh, look it's DNA again!) should have just been cut. I think this could have worked better as a 2 hour movie. Also, tell me who did the score, it was pretty suck-ass. There was plenty of boring, but significant dialogue that could have been spiced up with more and more pronounced music.

The CG effects however, were the best in any movie to date, period. I was prepared for the worst after the hundred CG Smiths who at times were far more cartoonish than realistic (the film actually noticed and utilized this, so I wouldn't call it "bad", but I wanted it to be more realistic). The Hulk however, was perfect. That digital character was better than the whole final fantasy movie and even on par with the great Lou Ferigno. He was immense, but believable down to the last raindrop on his five foot chest, and had more emotion in his CG face than the vast majority of actors today are capable of.

It was definitely a good movie in the end. The begining wasn't easy, but the end tied together all the themes and plot points brought up in such a magnificent fashion that it made it all worthwhile.

Now I just can't wait for the sequal, which should be much much better. She Hulk? The Abomination? Hell, the Leader? Who knows what a sequal will entail...

You say that as if it were a fact. It is not a fact. I was not bored.

[BrianLynch]

I wasn't bored either. The only thing I didn't like about HULK was the last twenty minutes, but the rest was quite awesome.

Sorry, it is in fact an opinion, what I was trying and failed to confer was that not only I was personally bored by the method the movie chose, but I thought it was simply poor storytelling (versus something that bores me that I nonetheless respect). I know that's what "IMO" is for, but I'll be damned before I use that bit of cybervenacular, oh wait...

[Razorback]

Or... and this is crazy, I know, but you could have typed out "in my opinion" or better yet "I WAS bored by it."

Go figure.

RB

[Robbo_the_Hood]

In an essay, it is grammatically incorrect to write, "I think," or "it is my opinion." Just from the sentance "it is boring" we already know that the writer thinks his subject is boring. It also makes the article seem stronger.

I know web-posts aren't necessarily grammatically correct, but if you're going to stick to the rules of grammar then have the facts straight, pal.

[Razorback]

Hillarious... teaching me about grammar and mispelling "sentence."

Since his comments do not constitute an essay, your point is impractical. Also, my response was to contrast his comments and his response was to defend his wording; ergo, I am free to opine on his choice of diction, as a retort.

RB

[Tongue]

Again RB you seem to be getting on your high horse because someone doesn't share your opinion again? The thread is called 'Is Hulk a good film I don't know you tell me'. Now unless the person that posts second on this thread is the be all and end all of movie critiscism and anything he says is indeed FACT then I get the feeling that peoples opinions are what the original poster of the thread was after. But then again this is just my OPINION.
Furthermore, peoples mis-spelling of one or two odd words doesn't need picking up by the likes of you. They are just genuine mistakes and anyone who isn't a complete [censored] should just treat them as such and get on with their lives.

[Razorback]

Wrong, I am not on any horse; whether it be high, low or inexistent, I only pointed out that it was not "boring" to me.

As for pointing out his spelling mistake, I was just responding within the spirit of his wonderful explanation of grammar. Which, mind you, did not apply to this discussion.

So, if contradicting someones opinion with my own delivers me a "high horse" then giddy-up.

RB

[Tongue]

Well, as I said that my comments were only my opinion , you are now telling me that my opinion is wrong. Exactly who are you to judge the correctness of someones opinion? Are you the Opinion Police?

[Razorback]
