I seen The Hulk today. Great movie, i'll be buying the DVD when it comes out... or at least once the superduper special addition comes out in 2 years (I won't buy the regular versions cause I'll want to buy the superduper version with all the extra stuff that was cut out added back in)
First my rant....
#1)
Get it in your skull movie theater people, don't play Vadka Cooler ads at 1pm in the afternoon with kids in the freaking audience. This was my biggest problem with the movie. I can see playing that ad at night around 9 or 10 pm when there should be no kids in the audience, but come on get a clue will ya. BTW this was reported to the manager (by me) and they said they will remove that ad.
#2)
If you are not a fan of kids (like me) I would suggest going at a later time in the day then the 1pm showing. Ya I know I asked for it going at that time but come on, do we really need a little kids talking in their regular voice saying "Is he dead? Is he dead? Is he dead?" a few times in a row and the parrents not saying a word to quiet them.
#3)
The kids (teens actually) behind me were very annoying. The one right behind me specifically. He kicked my seat a few times and put his feet up on the seat beside me. Then when its not even half way thought the movie, hes talking to his friend saying how bored he is and that they should leave. HOW ABOUT JUST LEAVING YOURSELF!!!! Don't like the movie but your friend is TOUGH. Go wait outside for him then.
Now for the review....
Stan Lee, the creator of the hulk, makes a guest appearence in the movie right near the start. Its not long, but it was nice to see him in there. If you don't know who Stan Lee is, get out from under the rock you are under.
Hes back.... hes green.... and boy is he pissed off!!!
I have seen the 70s cartoon, the 80s cartoon, the 80s tv movies and read some of the older comics. None of them gave me the satisfaction like the movie did as the hulk beat up a poor defenseless M1A2 Abrums Tank.
The story is mostly different then the other 3 Hulk shows that I mentioned above. He is still hit with gamma rays, but there is some other stuff added in for todays kids.
There are some boring parts mixed in with all the action, but all the action shots makes up for them. It was nice seeing the hulk the proper size he should be and able to toss around tanks and fly miles at a time with each jump.
The computer animation was top notch, thou I did see a few "errors". But even in movies with no computer animation you will see some errors so they really don't matter to me.
The acting was pretty good, but again I could a few bad spots.
The music was good, but I always kept expecting to hear the ending theme to the 80s TV movies (ya I know, i'm strange)
The ending of the movie was how can I say this without giving anything away.... the ending was a Hulk movie. Those that have seen the original hulk tv movies will know what I mean.
I give this movie a 9 out of 10. A very worth while see if you are like me and seen the original hulk stuff.
If you haven't then well I suggest seeing the movie anyway. :D
Above all... NEVER listen to what critics say. They get paid to go and watch movies (lucky buggers).
If you have even the slightest interest in seeing this movie then go see it. there are really only 3 things you will think...
A) Waste of time....
B) Good movie, i'll suggest it to friends....
C) DAMN COOL MOVIE...
Next week, watch for my review of T3: Rise of the Machines. Comes to theaters on Wednesday (thou I will be seeing it either next saturday or sunday)
