The Hulk...will you see it? - Page 4

*Stone Ill* · 06-22-2003, 08:53 AM

This is the problem with comic book nerds seeing comic book movies. They totally bash the whole thing up if something is different from the comic. Take Spider-Man for example. Someone I know totally hated it because he had organic webbing..Geez..And I guess me and my brother are one of the few people who enjoyed Daredevil. Truth be told I've only read two comic books in my life. A Venom issue of Spider-Man and TMNT #6 Volume 4. I never knew anything about Daredevil besides the fact that he's a blind superhero. I was extremely suprised to see it bashed to hell by tons of critics and people. With The Hulk, I enjoyed the '80s show of it, not so much the '60s one, and with news of a movie, I was pretty interested. I haven't seen this movie yet, but I'm betting this will be a very good one.

I think opinions about DareDevil go prety much 50/50. And Im a huge Spider-man fan, I have been reading it for more than a decade and Still I found Spider-Man movie very good. Yes it's very diffrent from the comics, but it's still a good movie. Only bad thing I can think of is part "Mess with one of us, you mess with all of us" and the USA flag made no sense. But thats understable after the Tragedy of 9/11 I guess.

No I was just saying it takes away from the movie when your looking at a obversely cgi Hulk. I mean from what i've screen he looks like he's made of plastic!

Trust me, CGI is better than Live action:

Well actually you could do Live action well if you had a good make up artist and a good costume. And besides that TV show was done a long time ago with a low budget.

**Karpo_007** · 06-22-2003, 11:12 AM

Yeah But I stilll belive CGI is the way to go.

MikeA · 06-22-2003, 11:17 AM

Probably not going to go see it.

Indeed. It was a great movie! All those wicked transistions from scenes made it look really good and like a comic in some way. CGI is a lot better than live action no matter how good he might have looked with good make up and costume. I really enjoyed it and the transitions just made it great. I really CGI worked well and made it really cool and those dogs and that crazy rat was really wicked. And that tank/bridge action was really cool. 9/10!

LOL It's funny how you separate critics from people. As if critics are not human and totally different creatures. Well, they are actually...

Regardless of the 9/11 tragedy, I've always understood New Yawkers to have that kind of attitude.

Just got back from seeing the Hulk, and without spoiling it for anyone, I thought it was amazing. The CG in it was the best I've ever seen.

**Karpo_007** · 06-22-2003, 03:28 PM

Not in any of the comics the don't... They are always agains Spider-Man. Most of them anyway.

And critics are people who watch many many movies, and after awhile you begin to see why some movies are good and some are not. Even if a movies is it good as an piece of art, It can still be entertaining.

Looks like plastic? LOL See the movie. I've never seen green army men look and move the way Hulk does. Also, if you know of anybody who can grow in size on command from 6 to 10 to 15 feet then please mail the producers and let them know. I'm sure they are dying to here from you.

When it was first announced that they were going to use CG for the Hulk, my first thought was actually "Why not pull a Peter Jackson and do it all by scale?" Then I realized that it would be WAY too difficult for something like that. The ONLY way to properly do The Hulk was CG. Unless you wanted to cast Lou Ferrigno in the title role then everyone else would have to be pulled from the cast of Willow. But that would just look stupid.

Impressive CGI (Except for a fe occasions.)
Great Acting
Interesting story (And a dark one at that.)
Good character development
Hulk doing some serious damage. (The comic book fanboy in me giggled like a schoolgirl when Hulk had the cannon from the tank in his hands and acted like it was a bat.

)
Awesome editing (I wish nearly all comic book based movies were like this.)

Though the fight at the end was a little too dark (The lighting, not the atmosphere.), and I had a hard time telling WTF was going on sometimes, but overall, a very just ending to a deep movie.

(No Punisher trailer.

)

What were the fe occasions where the CGI was unimpressive? If you want to see the punisher trailer, go to http://www.movie-list.com and look for punisher under coming soon or on the front page.

*SPOILERS!*

When he transformed back to Bruce in San Fransico, it just....didn't feel right. Also, when he starts to run very very fast, I thought it also looked weird, and when he was running on the canyon wall. Those were the only times I thought it looked kinda of bleh. But the rest was spectacular!

I thought the opposite of you on all those points. I was actually wanting them to show what it looks like when Bruce changes back from Hulk mode. I thought it was gonna be subtle, but was pleasantly surprised to see it in broad friggin daylight. As far as the running and the canyons and other stuff you mentioned (even the Hulk to Bruce change), I wasn't distracted by it at all, probably because I completely put out of my mind any thought of looking for "bad" CG.

Leo33 · 06-24-2003, 08:31 PM

The whole movie I was watching to see where Stan Lee shows up. When I saw hiw walking next to Lou Ferrigno dressed as security, I almost pooped me pants.
