Okay, since we have an XMen 2 thread, and a Matrix: Reloaded thread, I thought I'd start a thread on what is personally MY most anticipated movie of the summer, The Hulk. It was one of the few comics I actually loved to read, and from the trailers, I think this movie is going to kick some serious ass.
Your thoughts?

of course its gonna rock man! its the hulk! ERRR HULK SMASH, have you seen the preview?? hes like a friggin superman!

Sorry to pop your bubble TYB, but this movie will fail for one reason: the Hulk looks like Shrek. I am guessing that this movie is using in-house CGI instead of going out and having ILM do their effects, and it shows in the character model of the Hulk. I know that it has good actors and a fantastic director, but the effects are going to be very poor in comparison to what we usually expect in a summer blockbuster.
It is similar to Spider-Man, that used Sony's in-house effects department (which i am assuming that is being used here as well) to such poor effect. Even though the movie was good, I just could not get over how fake looking Spider-Man looked swinging around; as if he were a cartoon intercut into the film (as he basically is). I like to be fooled into believing that something is real for a short period of time and I do not see this happening with the Hulk.
I will still go and see it and hope that i am wrong.
"There's a passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17... I been sayin' that shit for years. And if you ever heard it, it meant your ass. I never really questioned what it meant. I thought it was just a cold-blooded thing to say to a motherfucker before you popped a cap in his ass. But I saw some shit this mornin' made me think twice… The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be a shepherd."
After watching the new trailer before X2 i realy really wanna see it now _ i think its gonna be a good movie.
But better than "Superman".Originally posted by codename47

I think the movie will be great, and even if it turns out to be a little "campy", it probally do good enough to spawn a sequel.
I can't wait to see it!

I saw the movie last night and I was dissapointed. It took way too long to develop and just was about his development, definately setting up for a sequel. IT was way to long and the plot sucked. I would have liked to have seen it stick closer to the comics and the cartoon series. I would reccomend downloading the movie and previewing it for yourself before spending your money.

Uhhh....the movie was aweful...period.
The special effects were too obvious, the plot mediocre.
Hulk = 1 part-time mutant who's a pussy 95% of the time.
X-Men = Many full-time professional 100% kickass mutants.
That's it in a nutshell. Should come as no surprise to anyone who can do the simple math.
i'm currently "obtaining" the hulk. ;-)
but to follow up CTC's post, yes X-men 2 was an awesome movie, and better than the first in my opinion.
I personally like the Hulk better than the x-men, spiderman, and daredevil movie. The first X-men was better in my opinion, the second was ok, if there is a third hopefully jean grey will become the phoenix. Spiderman was good, Daredevil was too much like spiderman, but the Hulk is something different and made a kick-ass movie, i even liked the ending.........

I gotta agree with most people here it was ok but it could have been so much better. I thought Nick Nolte as the adversary was weak it would have been so much better with one of the established badasses from the books. I know where Lee was trying to go with this. He was trying to showcase what a bastard his father was and how the Hulk was a personification of that and I don't have a problem with that. The thing that really struck me though was that the movie was kinda boring and needed an opponent that could give The Hulk a run for his money. Not a terrible movie just not a great one.

Cool site of the moment:http://www.zod2008.com/
I wish The Hulk would make a pit stop at Hilary Rosen's residence and just bash the F out of her house with her in it, then he can continue on his merry little way
Personally I haven't had the urge to go see the Hulk again since the first time i saw it (wink, wink). Maybe it was because I saw it without all big screen flash and it didn't really do anything for me storywise.
I probably will go see it at some point but I was not really impressed with the story. IMO Spiderman and X-men had a much more better story than the Hulk.

Since its inception almost 30 years ago, the internet has been transformed from a primitive device for sharing thoughts and ideas, into a massive network where people pay to connect and read advertisements they don't want, while calling each other "asshats".
Hulk has never really been known for it's complex storyline, so I sorta new the movie was gonna mirror that fact in some way, his whole thing is just bashing the crap out of stuff, not bad, just not much of an opportunity for a story in that
