Hulk

[Lilifreid]

So, who's seen it and what do you think? I really liked it and would recommend it, but in the spirit of nitpicking:

They could have had a couple more daylight scenes, I think. Having so much at night kind of made me feel they were hiding defects.
Classic lines missing. I swear, in preview Bruce says "You're making me angry. You won't like me when I'm angry" but they cut the second half in the movie. (Yes he eventually says it.. sorta). Also, Hulk's essentially mute. Not that he was that talkative, but still.

I thought the special effects were well done.

I guess no one else saw Hulk? I can't think of anything to put here.

I saw the TV series. Does that count?

I read the comic books in the sixties.

I have had Hulk underoos.

They were too busy reading Harry Potter!

[The Ktulu]

I've been busy reading Harry Potter, as well, although they are reading the fifth book, while I have been reading the first four, for the first time.D'oh.

I watched Hulk Friday night and then got the Harry Potter book at midnight. Best of both worlds.

The movie was pretty good. I definitely liked the comic-book feel it had -- the split-screen scenes, and small scenes within larger ones, and close-ups of people's eyes, and subtitles saying "Meanwhile..." or "Ten years later..." and so on. Ingenious.

I thought the psychological-depth bit was overdone. They revealed too many "secrets" too near the beginning. And all I could think toward the end was: "Good thing this didn't come out on Father's Day weekend; I don't know what message that would send."

I saw it earlier today. Question:
The bit at the end... was the dad simply trying to steal his son's power so he could be all uber-powerful and evil and stuff, or was he helping Bruce? After all, he did protect him from the blast, and he did take all the suppressed rage and stuff from him. Either way, t'was cool... but I just didn't get it.

Beyond that - what can I say? Eric Bana rocks (takes credit for Australia) and his acting out of the intense, pent-up rage at the beginning was fantastic... a little too good. Brought back some repressed memories of my own... I've seen rage like that before. *shudders* I actually couldn't watch it for a while after that, it was making me shake and feel nauseous. But that doesn't belong in this thread.

i thought it was fine, until the last half hour of the movie when his father becomes the absorbing man and the plot goes to hell. i liked how when he got angrier, he got bigger, which didn't really happen in the comics i think but it worked well. umm....yeah. again, good until his father turned into lightning. then i was like "okay now this is crap." yup.
