Script Rundown- Bigtime Spoilers

[James T. Kirk]

lol, this is where i respect ED for what he's doing, IMO, the story would be much more interesting, if you start it from 3, then go to 4 while at the same time showing/telling you what happened at 1 and 2. You will have a beginning, the movie just wont start there.

I don't mind if the movie doesn't start at the beginning. I just don't like the whole telling you in a brief conversation between supporting characters idea, I want to be shown it.

We don't know yet if the majority will be pleased or not, if it follows another formula than Ang's Hulk, it could do what the previous one didn't.

Agreed, flashbacks ftw. Use one of the most valuable narrative tools, LL!

I hope so, and I also hope they're not just literally FLASHbacks, of the blink and you'll miss em variety.

 

[Porygon]

It sounds OK, it all depends on the execution though.

[Golgo-13]

I want nothing more for TIH to be better, but i just dont see why they cant make a movie that will please the majority of people, X2 did it, Spidey 2 did it and Batman Begins did it, it isnt that hard.

Best post in the entire thread.

Ok, so we get another one that doesn't mention Bruce injecting himself with SSS. A 14' Abomy? If the Hulks 9' I'm ok with it. If the Hulks 15' The green glow in the midwest you see will be me Hulking out. t:

The Hulk is 9' we already know that from Louis himself.

i would have liked Abomb to be around 12' myself but him being bigger is only gonna make Hulk look better when he kicks his big green ass.

I know, they also said this would be closer to the comic. t:

It is closer to the comic compared to the 1st one. They also said it would also share the tone of the TV show with Bruce as a fugitive, and it'd be lighter on the psycho-drama. Judging from the set photo's I'd say that's all true. Also don't forget the 9ft tall sticks with markers on them seen on set to represent The Hulk. I wonder if abmomination is 14ft standing straight up, or is he 14ft in his usual crouched position. That would be scary.

 

[Cracker Jack]

AD no need to goon the offensive didn’t you see the sticking out the tongue thingy? The Hulk should be smaller than Abomy. I’m not going to get in to pissing matches anymore. I’ll wait and see what comes up next before I go off on a rant. I hope this movie is good. I like the ideas so far (save one). But I’m hopeful that SSS has nothing to do with Banner becoming The Hulk. They should save that for Captain America.

 

[Sarg92]

I'm liking the sound of 'Hulkvision', it sounds great!

Good point Sarg92. Yeah That sounds interesting.

If it isn't that hard, then why are there so few? Not trying to argue, but you're picking arguably the 3 best movies out of each of their respective franchises. If there was a guaranteed formula, don't you think we'd have a few more of these movies? No, I think it's harder than it looks, and I think it's only the result of the first Hulk's tumbling that Norton & Co. are as serious as a heart attack about getting THIS Hulk right.

Just have to say I am so freaking loving the script right now. People may raise a fuss about this or that, but I thinking they're ultimately grasping at straws... looking for reasons to be unhappy, for attention, etc. There's nothing not to love about the script IMO. They really seemed to have stretched themselves - and I'm talking, I guess, about Norton mainly - to put the Hulk in some really different environments. I mean, from the Arctic to South America to some college campus with a fight makes the Kent St. massacre look like "lawn bowling"? Wow! And finally to Harlem for the big one... it's amazing.

And the opening scene just blows my mind... never thought we'd see a suicide attempt in a million years, much less to open the freaking movie. It has all the flavor of Hulk: The End or just a totally random movie. I hope the teaser includes it, actually, because people won't know what just hit them. Talk about coming from left field for Hollywood. Then again, we saw it in Fight Club, didn't we? Anyway, it sure gets things off to a bang. And then, like any good script, the movie is bookended with another suicide attempt, with Bruce jumping out of the helicopter unsure that the Hulk is even still in him (or so it appears)... though done not in quite the same fashion to thoroughly pi** off parents who were already unhappy about the first suicide attempt. Instead, it rectifies or brings balance to the movie.

Also, from listening to all of you, it sounds like they've stretched themselves to fit in different incarnations of the Hulk. I'm thinking I'm going to love it, but I realize there's that whole "execution" thing they need to take care of.

Ok, so we get another one that doesn't mention Bruce injecting himself with SSS. A 14' Abomy? If the Hulks 9' I'm ok with it. If the Hulks 15' The green glow in the midwest you see will be me Hulking out. t:

That freaking rocks. As if we needed more reason to think the Hulk is "the strongest one there is," this contrast in size just sends it all over the top IMO. With Banner's martial arts training, Hulk is going to be one badass mo' fo' in the last battle.

Btw, I'm in the Midwest too, so if you see a green glow yourself...

I'm liking the sound of 'Hulkvision', it sounds great!

No doubt! It sounds like it'll be the equivalent of the first Hulk's wipes/split screens, in terms of an effect. Once again... just amazing how many artistic elements, different perspectives, thematic elements, etc. it seems they're going to squeeze into this movie. I hope it raises the bar, in terms of moviemaking. Ah, now I'm just being overzealous. That teaser can't come fast enough!

 

[DarthDaveBanner]

Sounds pretty awesome......but Samson Adams? Whats wrong with Leonard Samson?

 

[Cracker Jack]

Hmmmmm not to be a Richard Cranium but this kinda blows the whole not doing the bomb to be PC thng right out of the water. I have nothing against the suicide attempt I think it should go like this;

We follow the shadowy figure of a MAN, as he walks further and further onto the snowy iciness. He drops to the frozen ground, "I hate you Hulk! I Hate You!" the MAN pulls off his garb, crying, in pain and pulling a gun from his waistband. "You've taken my life. You've ruined my life. I hate you." he puts the gun to his head and tries to kill himself. The gun goes off. Pifft (the sound of spitting) THE HULK appears, spitting out a bullet, "Hulk hates Banner to."

 

[Cinemaman]

I liked reading some Norton's ideas, but I didn't like the whole concept being more requel than restart. Worse, I found here some cheesy scenes like the woman getting poisoned or the whole Banner & Betty storyline. I also wasn't impressed with where Norton decided to take Banner and how story develops, as it quickly turns into another Marvel's failure. I think they must understand that movie and comics are very different things. So right now, basing my opinion on that script review I can give it only 6.5 ot of 10.

 

[Norm3]

They just can't get the Hulk origin right. Why can't they for once give the fans of the CB what they want.

I don't see what is cheesy about a woman getting poisoned exactly. Especially since we haven't seen how the scene plays out in contrast to the rest of the film.

Some homages and few spoilers from ISEB

• The script is Chock-a-block with in-jokes. BANNER stops by STANLY’S (Stan Lee –get it?) PIZZA and hangs out with the owner Stan Now, at first I thought this was Mr. Excelsior himself Stan Lee’s cameo, but it wasn’t - the script points him out about 40 minutes later as OLDER GUY.

• And, BRUCE delivers pizza to a hulking Security Guard who is identified as Lou Ferrigno!

• There’s more. Later on, two college dweebs are identified as JACK MGHEE-an obvious respelling of INTREPID INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER Jack McGee from the “The Incredible Hulk” TV show, and KEVIN FEIGE, who shares his name with THE HULK 2’s executive producer.

• That’s not all: I’m also happy to report that PURPLE STRETCHY PANTS have a non-speaking cameo in this film.

• Well, in the BIG BATTLE at the end of the movie, THE HULK puts on some pretty *****in’ Parkour moves.

Not too sure about the last spoiler.
