I saw The Hulk...maybe it's because I don't have some fond connection to the old series or never liked him anyways as a character but the film was just alright to me.
The Good
The story was well written and actually interesting to me. I like how they skimmed over the boring origin story. I'm a fan of visually telling a story. I'm not a fan of opening sequences packed with badly written expositional dialog that most Marvel movies seem to enjoy.
Norton did a good job. I always liked him so no surprise here. He made the role his own and this made me enjoy and look forward to scenes with him in them even more. It was the first hero movie I've ever watched where I wasn't interested in the hero at all as a character, since Norton and The Hulk are basically two separate beings in the film.
Roth was actually good too I thought. At least up until Abomination*I assume that's his name* started talking. I saw that as completely pointless.
The Bad
The CGI was just god awful. It looked okay in the dark scenes but even then. I guess there was really no other way to pull it off so what can ya do but bad CGI always ruins a film for me on some level. It takes me out of be submerged in it.
Hulk yelling "Hulk Smash" was just ugh. I don't recall one scene in the movie where Norton heard himself being referred to as The Hulk so it made zero sense for him to say that. Also clapping to put out a fire was an eye roller. That's really just me being nit picky I guess.
The movie at times felt like it was stringed together by the action sequences. The "Days since incident" counter is a testament to that.
My last complaint is the helicopter scene at the end. I'm supposed to believe...
Like I said I'm not fan of The Hulk but in my opinion if a movie is good it should be good to people who don't follow the series or character as well as ones who do. I thought Iron Man was great and I don't follow Iron Man. At times some of these movies are filled with too many references and that's sometimes what draws people in which I think is really dumb on the parts of those people. There are people out there that enjoy movies just because they have a scene with a reference to something, example after X3 came out I heard tons of people talking about how good it was just because there's a scene where Juggernaut said "I'm Juggernaut bitch!" Ugh...
While on the references topic Hulk got a little to heavy on that. The opening sequence is reference heavy as well as the ending. Nothing really makes me feel like a nerd then when I get them. I imagine if I followed the old series that people say it's based off of there would be even more. One reference I did get but I need a little clarifying...
