So, this event that's been going on for over 80 years is invalid because 2 actors haven't been recognized out of the hundreds that have been nominated and won?

No it's not invalid, it's just weird that Gwyneth Paltrow has won an oscar and those two not.

It's mainly in the last few years that they make odd choices, like nominating Avatar for best picture...

Agreed. Conversely....

in he end it simply wasn't what fans wanted, but it was a great film [/QUOTE]

I'm not exactly a fan though. I've never read a Hulk comic, in fact I've only read a bare handfull of comics ever (A few X-men in the mid-90's, & TDKReturns), so I wasn't coming at it from a die hards fans POV with specific wants & expectations. Just a movie fan with a particular liking for CBMs.

I respect that Ang went for something deeper than the usual blockbuster/action flick, hell, I commend him for it, I just think it missed the mark considerably.

But anyway, how 'bout that Iron Dude?

[Spideyfan93]

Can't wait for this movie!

It took no more liberties than TIH did, in fact as a Hulk fan I would say Hulk was the more faithful of the two and the better movie. I agree about the movie it is excellent and I dont see how people can complain it wasnt action packed enough, there was a 40 minute long Hulk-out in the 2nd half of the movie for crying out loud. But yeah, Hulk is excellent and the most under-rated Marvel movie bar none.

Don Cheadle says Iron Man 3 will be more action-packed and more fun, and the relationship between Rhodey and Tony will be more dynamic.

I like the idea that its more action packed, there wasnt enough action in the 2nd movie for me and what we did get was average at best so I hope we see longer, more exciting fight scene's. Agree with another poster about the'fun' aspect though, IM2 wasnt serious enough for me, so less fun should be the order of the day for IM3.

Hulk was more faithful. It had the tales on the PD run (abusive father, repression) which is bar none the best run on the hulk out there, along with the origin being closer to the comis than TIH.


Also had better music too.

[fellowito]

Another scoop, thanks to Dekard66:

One piece or info I forgot to mention to you guys on Friday, but wanted to confirm with him this morning is what the Marvel rep. told him about Iron Man 3.
He said to him that Tony has like 40+ armors by the time you see him in IM3.
He mentions how he keeps "tinkering with his designs" The reps words, note ours.

[Justkidding]

Well, a good friend of mine was just hired. I doubt I'll get any stories from him during production. He is very professional and on high profile stuff like this that he works on he is always tight lipped until he is onto the next job.

I did apply for an internship, though.

Doubtful that I would get it. They don't usually do internships on these films here. But if I were to get...man, that would be a dream. Don't expect any stories from me though either if I did.

It was a lot more faithful than TIH, yet people who complained about Hulk not being faithful enough prefer TIH as a movie, go figure?

But yeah, Hulk is more faithful and a better movie than TIH for me, and yes it did have better music, but I did like the TIH score as well.

[A Necessary Evil]

It is quite odd to me, because although TIH had references and Abomb as the villian, it seemed to me to be more of the tv show adapted to film with comic references.

My only *true* disappointment of AngHulk was we needed a different villain. Don't get me wrong, absorbing man/dad/etc; was cool, but I'd have preferred someone else.

Plus I will be forever pissed we got robbed of Joe Fixit in Hulk 2.

[Parker Wayne]

Hulk is an awful movie, but for some reason comic book fans (the only defenders) defend it all the time.

TIH is better, and it isn't even close.

[Son of Coul]

^ I concur

[A Necessary Evil]

I don't. PARADOX TIME. LOL

Me too, but he might just be referring to the relationship between Tony Stark and regular old Jim Rhodes.

You never know

Yeah, but we never really got Abom did we? I didnt mind the altered origin but the altered look bothered me a lot, and the comic references werent really that much.

I think his dad should have turned into Grey Hulk, though I like the final battle we get in Hulk, it would have made much more sense if his father turned into a Hulk-type creature and Grey Hulk would have been perfect.

Comic fans arent the only ones who defend, they both got around the same percentage on Rottentomatoes so critics couldnt really differentiate between them either, and plenty of non comic fans liked the movie. Hulk was much more faithful than TIH, and in mine and many others opinions the much better movie. And this is coming from someone who liked TIH.

I had to check the title twice because I thought I'd clicked on the wrong thread lol.

Cinematographer Matthew Libatique Choosing Noah Over Iron Man 3?

Matthew Libatique (Iron Man 1-2) is considered one of the best cinematographers currently working in Hollywood. His films are some the most beautiful looking pieces of cinema. Credits include Requiem For A Dream, Black Swan, Cowboys And Aliens, Tigerland and The Fountain. Libatique is also known as a longtime collaborator of director Darren Aronofksy and says he's about to work on Noah. The news was dug up by ThePlaylist and production on Noah starts this summer. Noah is a blockbuster bible epic featuring a new take the mythical character and could be seeing a release date in the fall of 2013

This news might be impactful to Iron Man fans as Matthew has worked on the first two films. Leading me to believe he won't be working on Shane Black's Iron Man 3. Production on Iron Man 3 is rumored to start in late April or early May in North Carolina. Which seems to conflict with Noah's summer production in New York and Iceland. I wouldn't say it's the end of the world but Libatique like Jon Favreau helped create the world of Iron Man. It wouldn't be the first comic book project Matthew has walked from. He was previously set to work on The Wolverine when Aronofsky was still the director.

[cherokeesam]

Huh. Not good news, whenever you lose a good cinematographer like that....hope they get a good replacement.

Sounds like Libatique is pretty choosy which directors he works for -- he clearly respects working with Favreau, but might not be too keen on working with Shane Black.

'Iron Man 3' villain speculation mounts

Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:

Speculation has emerged that Namor may be the villain of the Iron Man 3 movie.

Rumors began after filming was scheduled to take place at EUE/Screen Gems Studios in Wilmington, North Carolina. The studios are known for their special-effects water tank, ideal for filming underwater scenes featuring the King of Atlantis.

According to ComicBook.com, it is also thought that the Robert Downey Jr-starring film may be based on the classic Iron Man story 'Demon in a Bottle', which features the Sub-Mariner heavily.

Iron Man 2 contained various easter eggs which are thought to relate to Atlantis, as well as introducing Justin Hammer, another key player in 'Demon in a Bottle'.

Reports of a giant sea creature called Leviathan appearing in Joss Whedon's Avengers movie have also led to speculation that Atlantis and Namor may also be involved in that film.

The start date for shooting on Iron Man 3 was recently brought forward to May 4, with Captain America 2 planned to begin filming before the end of the year.

Other villains that have been rumored to feature in Iron Man 3 are The Mandarin and The Ghost.

[Whiskey Tango]

Reply hazy, try again

I would be down for this but at this point they're just filming at a studio that happens to have a water tank. Still, teh possibilities are cool!

[Dark Raven]

Namor seems completely the opposite direction of what Shane Black would want to do and have it more like a military thriller again.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Awesome if true.

[Sebastos]

Woah, that would be awesome.

[Hunter Rider]

I think the article is jumping to conclusions, I thought Namor was owned by Fox anyway?

One thing does seem likely though, if they are filming a big SFX sequence underwater, we are going to see the Hydro-Armour!

Interesting that they mention The Ghost being rumoured, I've not seen him mentioned anywhere but my thread here.

[Sebastos]

Feige confirmed Namor is with Marvel.
