The Hulk

[fuckyeahfinnegan]

...man making another one of these was a lost cause.

Saw this green fucker last night and was not much entertained aside from two awesome action sequences. Every time Liv Tyler was on screen I wanted to strangle myself and sometimes Edward Norton, who fucking wrote part of the movie, didn't even look like he wanted to be there. About as good as the Ang Lee Hulk in a much different and more stupid way.

Anyone else see it/plan on seeing it/avoiding it at all costs?

Re: The Hulk

i saw it and liked it ok. wouldn't say it was better than ang lee's (which i liked) but 'bout as good as iron man and the like. definitely better than spiderman(s)...also probably the only person who liked the happening

Re: The Hulk

It was comparable to Iron Man. It sucks that all of the comic book movies are going to be like this for the foreseeable future.

Re: The Hulk

The Hulk = awesome if you think 2 good action sequences are all a movie needs.
Iron Man = awesome if you jack off to "hot" technology.

Both movies were decent at best outside of those qualities.

Re: The Hulk

I enjoyed Iron Man because of the character and the script, honestly. I wasn't too impressed with all the goodies... it always looks like computer animation anyways. Just because something is predictable and kind of cheesy doesn't mean it can't be enjoyable. Case in point - Catch Without Arms.

Re: The Hulk

Oh, I never said it wasn't enjoyable. I enjoyed The Hulk as well. But I believe both were simply okay movies, and I expected much more.

Re: The Hulk

i thought that the hulk was a far superior movie than iron man, for one reason and one reason only. There were way too many stupid unbelievable corny parts in iron man and there were less in the hulk.

The hulk felt like an actual good action flick, good chase scenes, good action sequences (there were three not two) and i thought that all the acting was pretty damn good. As opposed to iron man where the only person who did a good job was robert downey jr himself.

I just liked how they gave you a little from all the hulk stories and comics... even gave you a little ang lee hulk too. It just seemed like they were trying to please the masses and did, but also made a good action movie to boot. So success in my book.

this kind of irrational reasoning would probably indicate why you enjoyed the hulk so much...and why you couldn't appreciate the happening. not enough action apparently. I don't need a crazy twist ending or lots of action to appreciate a movie. i try to stay open minded and not have unreasonable expectations.

Re: The Hulk

I HATED The Happening. The concept of the movie was cool, but the acting was ridiculous and the script was just lacking in so many ways. It was distracting.

i agree, but not with the concept. I dont understand Shamalyan's movies ever... he tries to create so much suspense when the movies dont merit that much. I mean... running away from wind? CMON... you know what this movie reminded me of? it mine as well been a stephen king book made into a tv movie. And i lost alot of respect for mark wahlberg... i cant believe you read that script and enjoyed it.

and lets be reasonable... if your going to watch a comic book movie... you are going to get unreasonable twists and plots. I just felt the hulk was a good action movie... wasnt completely unbelievable... i mean if you go into the movie saying to yourself, "okay this movie is set in a comic book universe and its about a man who turns into an oversized monster when he gets angry", as long as you understand that everything else is not even remotely ridiculous. Good acting, good story, and good relationships between people in the movie.

You know... just... nevermind...

Did we watch the same movie? Liv Tyler was AWFUL. Half of the time, Ed Norton didn't look like he wanted to be there. They had no chemistry together, and all their interactions seemed forced.

While I think you're an awful awful awful awful person for not masturbating voraciously after you left the theater for Iron Man, I agree 100% with this post.

Liv Tyler was horrendous and you'd think for having written part of the script Edward Norton would you know, act once in awhile in the movie instead of just being a zombie.
