Hey! I just went to the theater today with my friend and saw the HULK. Anyone seen this movie yet? If you have, let us know wheather you think it was the greatest ever, or if it stunk more than a skunks ass...
Shadow is nothing but a distortion of light in which an object blocks its path.

If this is true, then why do we fear it?

I really am unsure about this movie.

The action was nice... but for some reason, didn't really excite me. Maybe I've just grown dull to sensational explosions and slow motion since the matrix.

I actually kinda liked the mind the film had. I thought the story was decent. Not oscar-written, but enough to keep me involved.


BUT IT FREAKING DRAGGED ON.

After the miltary explosions and the military warfare, when slow speaking chick hugged Bruce, IT SHOULD HAVE ENDED THERE. That last part with him fighting his father was just retarded and it was boring then.


Actually, two more things:

First, the split screen kinda sucked. It was interesting for a bit, but then it felt like he was just using it to...use it. Like split screen SHOWING THE EXACT SAME AREA. That was silly.

Also, I refuse to give it any credibility since, you know, they wore no protective clothing AROUND DEADLY RADIATION. Wtf, man.

Grammar is your enemy! - While being able to understand someone's sentences might seem like a good idea for a proper essay, complaining on a forum scarcely leaves time for such trivialities. Write fast! You're angry, grrr! Make that show, and forget about things like capital letters, punctuation, and verbs.

I'd have to agree with you on the split screen. It did get quite old after a while.

However, I think it did follow the storyline close enough. Most movies now-a-days seem to stray from the origional plot. The action scenes could of been much better, but they did an all around good job using only computer animation for it.

I thought the split screen thing was sort of neat. It really captured the feeling of reading a comic book. Because as you all know, comic books often take multiple angles of the same scene on the one page, and thats just what the movie was doing.

It's a movie based on a comic book, not a movie trying to be a comic book.

I'm gonna have to leave it all to personal judgement. I've seen equal amounts of reviews from friends. A guildie says it sucks.. wait for rental. Snoots says it's the best one since Batman.

Seems like it's just one of those movies that you have to chance your 8 bucks on.

By and large, I liked it. Not without its flaws, but good enough to go see.

Just what storyline are you talking about here? The one in the comics is VERY different from the one the movie used.

SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS

IT TOOK 35 FUCKING MINUTES TO GET TO HULK. I mean Jesus, anything Hulk-oriented is about smashing stuff, not staring at Jennifer Connelly's blank expression. It seemed like the movie almost had a structure, too, until about half an hour from the end, then nothing made sense, AT ALL. The ending kinda reminded me of Akira, but lacking of anything having to do with art, or for that matter, enjoyment.

Slow to start (but the plot had to go somewhere) and the ending needs work. But seeing the big green guy go postal is well worth it. They needed more of that.

I don't care what everyone thinks about the split screen. I thought it was interesting. Anyway, the first thing that came to mind was the movie "Andromeda Strain". That movie also uses the split screen, and it's the only movie I know that uses it.

I went to see the movie with Hireko and her father. Every five minutes, this kid in the row behind us asked, "Is this where he turns into the Hulk?" Each time he asked he got louder. The sixth time was when Bruce was in the hospital bed, and he lashed out at his father (I think). This time kid asked loud enough that our whole section of the audience heard it.

The general laughter from the crowd at that moment was priceless.

The child was about three years old.

I liked it. It wasn't mindless, which I appreciated. It set up the Banner problem well, although the story was changed (but not n an awful way).

And I loved all the Hulk scenes -- I was laughing and saying "that rocks" much more than in any other superhero movie for a while.

It was not a pure action movie -- it had story, and I appreciated that.

So far I like "The Hulk" the most of the comic book movies. Though it could have ended at the crossroads in San Francisco that would have left the entire father thing unresolved. It was kinda cool when they were flying through the air fighting each other.

In my opinion the split screen and other creative transitions were one of the merits of the movie. It was creative and interesting as for as I'm concernded.

Yeah but the story trailed off and turned into a bad anime at the end. The only part I liked was when Hulk smacked/punched the dogs and it made the huge clapping/bone crunching noises.

I really enjoyed the movie. I agree with Fennar (or whatever his new name is hehe) about the split screen. I thought it was really well done and thought out. I kept finding myself saying "WHOA!" because the action was so cool. I did think a few times that the movie dragged on, but overall I was pleased.

I loved the split screen. Made me feel like the action scenes were those times comics take the whole page for that one awesome action shot, as from what I can tell they refrained from using split screen during any action. I thought the movie was great.

I think the only part where the split screen was used well was when it was a close up of the dad's eyes at the top of the screen when he was incarcerated.

Aside from that, I hated the split screen.

Effects were nice, and I was sorry to see Jennifer Connelly looking so... thin. She looked anorexic to me. She's a very beautiful woman, but she's just so skinny.
