Robbo, have you seen the Hulk movie yet? Reviews keep popping up on the web even though I read in the article yesterday that the studio placed an "embargo" on smaller outlets.

imported_Robbo · 06-13-2003, 05:13 PM

I did see it on the first and was told the embargo was until the week of.

I am seeing it again on Tuesday and will probably have a review up on Wed.

My initial reaction is that the movie is a 7 or 8

(compared to Spidey or X2 which I'd score 9 or 10 and Daredevil which I'd score 5 or 6)

Well it sounds like you are probably in agreement with the other people who's reviews I've seen.

OK...saw it again last night. I like this movie a lot. I still score it an 8 because it's got some problems, but some scenes are pure, fanboy joygasm.

I am far too tired to actually write a review at the moment...but I enjoyed the hell out of this movie. It all just felt...cohesive to me. All the totally contrasting themes and moods blended effectively, all of it coming back to that one closed door, the crux that linked the Hulk to Bruce Banner. I loved the symbolism and the overall intelligence of the film.

It was a bold film, and usually it paid off, with a few exceptions. I had a few gripes with the split-panel story-telling in some cases, though in others it was a really excellent story-telling tool. There were many other bold directorial moves, with some often skewed story-telling moments, such as Hulk's plummet or the Hulk/David battle. All those moments were ones I really enjoyed.

The special effects were, of course, amazing. Even when Hulk looked less than real, I was enthralled by him and his movements. The Hulk Dogs fight stands out as being phenomenal, as well as the big final battle.

All in all, I'm not sure if the preceding was all too cogent...but I thoroughly enjoyed Hulk! I liked it more than Daredevil and much more than Spider-Man. X2 still reigns supreme in my eyes, though.

The local paper gave the Hulk the harshest review I have ever read. They said the movie should be called "Crouching Lummox, Hidden Oaf". They compared the Hulk to an 800 pound green computer generated gorilla. The reviewer said the plot was virtually non existant and the moview was too brooding. This comes from the same reviwer who loved Spiderman and X-men.

Could I get an opinion? I like this movie very much. I thought it really hit the tragedy aspect of the hulk rather than the overplyed super hero aspect in every other comic movie.

The creature still looked too cartoony, but could ignore it becasue of the dark tone of the movie.

Spoiler!!!!!!!!!

Was that supposed to be Absrbing Man? If it was, then they kind of botched his past up worse than, well, a hulk that was geneticlly altered since birth.
