Not an origin film and Bana & Purcell in talks?!?!?!?

[Dangerous]

Though i'm only waiting to hear if Bana is coming back, if he doesnt, i probably wont bother with this movie.

Then I guess you ain't a Hulk fan.

 

[James Bond 007]

PLEASE make it a reboot, the idea of a sequel to that mindflush is just abominable, pardon the pun

 

[WeaponXProject]

Bana didn't suck. The script and direction just didn't allow him to be what you expected. It was still a great film to me though...just different and deeper than a film like The Hulk needed to be.

I agree, I don't have a problem with him coming back. I would rather have Jim Caviezel, though.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Then I guess you ain't a Hulk fan.

NO, i guess i just dont like the direction they are taking this movie.

 

[Rac]

Hmm, dunno. I don't wan't Bana to be in a bad movie (TIH could be good, but certain writer doesn't give any good promises). But in the other hand I don't wan't a Hulk movie without him. Sticky situation.

 

[Advanced Dark]

Really? Interesting you've seen the script and it's not complete yet nor have any real details been leaked except who the villian is, and that's it's going to be the film the fans were complaining about that they didn't get. More fun, more action, and The Hulk we've been waiting for.

What's wrong with that?

You are so hypocritical its unbelievable, you criticise me for pre-judging the movie and then do the exact same thing in the same post. Have YOU seen the script? Didnt think so, so what makes you think this movie is going to be so great, because the people making it say so? Please dont be so naive!

 

[Hunter Rider]

I'm not surprised Bana isn't coming back given the current direction

I'm saying there's nothing so far to make anyone believe this film is gonna suck or be bad or bomb. All we've heard are positive things and the things that made the box office so mediocre before apparently are known and being fixed. This is a Marvel studios film not a 3rd party studio. Nobody has seen a Marvel studios film yet because they haven't filmed one. You might have a distaste for Zak Penn but still...I've seen nothing negative about this pre-pre-produciton yet? Nothing.

 

[jaydawg]

Except for Penn's ideas for the film. If you read the comics you'd know what a terrible idea it is to base it off Bruce Jones' universally panned run. It was pointless, convulted and ultimately drivel. Oh and lets not forget the best thing the director ever made was The Transporter. Or that the budget is only 100 million with TWO Gamma monsters supposed to fight. You can only imagine how well thats going to turn out. And its more than obvious Arad wants to talk down to the audience. All that psychodrama, well guess what. That IS the Hulk. Not some green giant who destroys small towns.

But hey, at long as it says Marvel on the package, its bound to be gold, right AD?

 

[Duneboy]

yeah, you do make a good point. Still, aslong as it's better than daredevil & blade 3, & w/ alot more action than Superman returns, you can't go wrong. maybe. hopefully.

Not the best. Unleashed was the best IMO, and I believe the only film Leterrier's made that he had more creative control of instead of producers and the studio. Also, Zak Penn's script has been a work in progress and it's more inline with what so many fans have wanted after complaining about the 1st. Again I loved the first but it wasn't a film that would ever truly show what the Hulk is capable of at the box office as far as capturing fans around the World. 132 million was ok but way under what a character like Hulk should make. Hulk should be making 200+ million now we'll see if the next film can make people more excited about the franchise. I believe it will and most of the moviegoers out there don't know who the hell wrote what so it won't matter to them.

Well sorry but i've heard NOTHING positive about this movie, as a big fan of the the 1st movie, nothing about this production has got me excited that another Hulk movie is coming, and it seems some others are in agreement with me and some arent, so i dont see your point.

 

[Duneboy]

Yeah I mean if they don't stray too far from what Ang started inthe 1st chapter. Atleast keep it in a similar tone. My worst fear was when Arad mentioned about shrinking the hulk down a bit. That would really be awful.

 

[Spade]

This summer, prepare for The Incredible Shrinking Hulk!

What production? It hasn't started yet. It's in pre-production and the script isn't finished. So the default is negative. LOL

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I was talking about the whole production of the movie, pre-production is still part of the whole production of a movie.

 

[Advanced Dark]

Tell me from what you know already what you expect to be so bad about the Hulk film. You know good and well the first film was not the kind of film that would be a monster hit with fans across the world. It was too deep for most. Studios aren't making these kind of films to win awards. They're trying to get as many people in those seats as possible and deliver a fun movie for everyone to watch during the Summer. That's what comic books are all about. Some people are taking these too seriously..have fun. You don't always go to the movies for the same reason right? Sometimes you want to laugh, sometimes you want to see a good drama, sometimes you want to be just blown away by action, f/x, etc...And sometimes you just want to see your favorite characters on the screen. That's what X3 was. The actors contracts were up for the most part and they had to close that story arc with the 3rd film. Leaving that old storyline open with all the actors contracts expiring would have been bad mistake. So they made X3 more of a popcorn summer fun film and the people ate it up and loved it. Not the die hard x-men fans but the regular people. Hulk is starting sort of from ground zero again even though it's not an origin film it's still a new take on the character that will hopefully result in more films. Making another Ang-Lee type Hulk would ensure the death of the franchise...though it would make some people happy. That's not good enough. I'd rather see the franchise continue and watch some fun Summer films year after year then watch my old Hulk DVD over and over with no other options.

Dude, did you seriously say that with a straight face?

Both hated it eventually. We were all fooled into running to the theatre opening weekend.

Ditto. What pisses me off about the Hulk franchise is that Hulk is just as iconic as Spidey. Hulk came out 1 year after SM1 and thus far we haven't got another film yet, yet we're already on SM3. I think Universal's overall handling of the Hulk franchise is the main cause of it's failure. They should give up the rights to the character if they can't get their act together. They sure as hell can't even get a decent RE-MASTERED version of the Hulk 70's dvd series out, season by season. They don't truly care about the property, imo.

 

[Advanced Dark]

Golgo X3 was widely accepted and enjoyed by most people. That means people outside of this forum, and outside of die hard comic book fans. I don't hang out with those types so everyone I know who saw it...enjoyed it. No it's not the best film ever made but it was very enjoyable.

 

[Golgo-13]

I just realise that Universal did release the 70's Hulk seris season one as of recent...

 

[Advanced Dark]

Agreed.

Universal has no creative control over The Hulk anymore. It's all under Marvel Studios. Period.

 

[Golgo-13]

^I hope that's a good thing.

 

[Advanced Dark]

There's no other studio that I want to have the rights besides Marvel. They have the best interests at hand. Sony's done a great job with Spidey and apparently GR but I feel Marvel studios will give us the very best Marvel films.

 

[Golgo-13]

I'm a little skeptical about GR myself. The trailer looked mediocre and it kept getting push back, two bad omens...? But Marvel really has a chance to shine if Hulk is done right. Let's hope, since it's their first independent venture, that they have the balls to make all the right choices and the funds to pull it off.
