Mean and Green: Comicscape Reviews The Incredible Hulk - Jun 18, 2008 - 04:49am
I agree with this review except for "Tim Roth portrays Blonsky as Generic British Badass. The film defines the character through his love of combat and his lust for power. But, he lacks the complexity of Ian McKellan as Magneto from X-Men, or William Defoe as Norman Osborne from Spider-Man. Blonsky just wants more strength, more speed, and more power so that he kicks more ass because he likes it." I didn't get that, my impression was that he was a fighting man who saw his days of being able to fight coming to an end. This comes from his line about being in the trenches and staying there till he can't do it anymore. I felt that Ross saw this to and exploited it. Blonsky even goes as far as saying that if he could put all the skills and knowledge he has now into his younger self, he wouldn't want to fight that guy. I don't think he was a moral abomination in the beginning; he was just a soldier, who’s good at what he did and doesn't know anything else. To someone like that, getting older, slower and weaker is a fate worse than death. Therefore when an opportunity comes along to prevent that he jumps at it. When Banner is captured then he fears that this opportunity is over, so he does what he feels he needs to stay strong forever. Now my geek moment: Hearing "HULK SMASH" sent a thrill down my spine.

New TV Spot Featuring Cameo in HULK - Jun 09, 2008 - 04:33am
I live in a completely Tivo'ed world. I don't catch any of these spots because I fast forward through commercials. I remember the last time I tried to watch regular tv and couldn't because I hated all the commercials. So as far as I'm concerned, Marvel spoil away (as long as it's just in TV spots).
