Script Rundown- Bigtime Spoilers

[Gianakin_]

The synopsis on the official site says:


Quote:
"...hunting down the cure to the gamma radiation that poisoned his cells and unleashes the unbridled rage within him..."


From what AD posted I don't think you have to worry about no gamma bomb.

Good point. We'll see.

This could have changed though, lets hope not.

Ha ha, NO once again . David only wanted Hulk's strength once he saw it for himself, as he wanted to be able to control the people who had thought he was wrong.

But in the actual opening of the movie, David only talks about soldiers who can regenerate once injured, but are normal otherwise.

Still Super Soldiers Haha.

 

[Sava]

lol.... for everyone that b**ched about Ang's movie not being like the comics..is this?

 

[Figs]

This could have changed though, lets hope not.

It very well could have but I personally can't even fathom lol, why they would need to make that change. Looking for a cure in the form of a drinkable or shootable liquid I have no problem with, changing the origin for really no good reason just doesn't make sense.

Weren't they saying multiple times in the past for this film that it's not going to be an origin film, so most likely they might just reference his origin rather than show it again. If that's the case, they should just leave the reference at the gamma radiation/bomb.

Still Super Soldiers Haha.

Of course they are, but not super-strength soldiers . Plus they never actually did it .

Agreed 100%, i think they said the origin would be suggested, i think Bruce having a nightmare about a gamma bomb explosion would be sufficent enough.

Well said Sava!

 

[jadejaws]

Say who? You? I think it could be done and would blow people away.



Grounded in what? No, it no crime to "trick" the origin a bit but this is not a bit. This is contray to who and what Banner and the Hulk are.

I love it when people say, "You can't get away with the gamma bomb nowadays" when we're all celebrating a movie about a 9 ft green monster. We can accept that a dude can double his size and change color, but a bomb blowing up...oh hell no.

LOL well put.

 

[Sava]

Well said Sava!

i wanna know what CJ thinks..and also, everyone else that b**ched about Ang's movie, this script is so far away from the comics, its not even funny.

 

[FrostBite]

I b**ched but not because it wasn't like the comics...does this also make me a hypocrite?

Yeah, that gets me too. "That wourldn't work", "No one would believe it." HAHAHHAHAHAHAH Ok if you say so.

SAVA haven't you read this thread?

Serum!? Super Soldier??? Serum!!!??? It's the Incredible Captain Hulk America.

BAH!!

Complete crap. Why can't they get this Sh!^ right? !
So now instead of Banners Dad experimenting on himself it’s Banner experimenting on himself. I hope this is a crock. If not I'm completely done. I have no hope for this movie or franchise.

 

[Sava]

I b**ched but not because it wasn't like the comics...does this also make me a hypocrite?

thats ok, alot of people said that Ang's movie sucked cause it was nothing like the comics, this one is going to be more like the comics..blah blah blah

 

[Cracker Jack]

Agreed 100%, i think they said the origin would be suggested, i think Bruce having a nightmare about a gamma bomb explosion would be sufficent enough.

Why can't they just do this? This is what I thought they'd do.

This goes for every movie, it can never be completely faithful. These people will never learn.

SAVA haven't you read this thread?

no...

edit:..saw your quote, lol, dont give up just yet

 

[Cracker Jack]

no...

edit:..saw your quote, lol, dont give up just yet

I'm pretty much there already Sava.

Wow that sounds superb. Iron Man will be the weakest of the 3, and that lokos fantastic, so we are in for a helluva summer 2008

 

[Sarg92]

The script sounds ok.

The arctic scene sounds awesome! I think it is a reference to Frankinstein, where the creature goes out into the arctic to die. Bruce goes out to die but Hulk stops him from comitting suicide. (I'm sure the suicide bit is pleasing Sava.)

The super soldier serum part doesn't sound good. Sure they might wanna make tie-ins with other Marvel characters but messing up the origin is not the right way to go. Didn't Captain America turn up in WWII? So I am hoping it was Bruce's father who made the serum.

A steriod/serum pumped up Blonsky vs Hulk, I'd like to see what that would look like. And didn't EB say that Abomination was going to battle Hulk twice? First time Hulk gets beaten, the second Hulk wins?

The Samson and Stern parts sound good aswell.

I wanna see how this all plays out.

 

[Bannerless Hulk]

Well, the IESB review makes infinitely more sense than the LR article, but before delving into that, I have to say I love how this topic brings out so many Hulk fans who apparently were in hiding all of this time. People crawling out from everywhere... it's great. Like, where were you when Ang Lee's Hulk was thoroughly dissected in other threads and why is now - in a thread that has nothing to do with Ang's Hulk - suddenly the right time to spill your brains over anything and everything that has to do with the Hulk?

Secondly, come on Sava... suicide attempts at the beginning and end? You have to be proud of those. lol As for the deviation from the comics, I couldn't be happier. I just don't get why everything must be fully 100% saturated in gamma rays for people to be happy.

Anyway, the script. Here's my take on LR's version, with the aid of the IESB article:

Absolutely LOVE everything up to the point that ends with the sentence, "He stares sadly at a picture of a beautiful woman, his wife, BETTY ROSS." The pace, the setting, the mood, etc... it's perfect. From there, starting with the abrupt transition to the woman who inherits "gamma sickness from a South American soda," the details are choppy. LR's "Clutch" spy guy, for example, doesn't explain how gamma happens to get into the soda, but thankfully IESB bails us out. Mr. "Clutch" also doesn't tell us how Ross is able to track down Banner immediately thereafter, but again, IESB comes to the rescue.

Then, in the next paragraph, we have a character named "Major Cabot." Well, there's no such character with that name in the movie, but there's an actor named Christina Cabot who plays Major Kathleen 'Kat' Sparr. So that would seem to cast a shadow on the reliability/accuracy of LR's review, considering that their ace "scooper" was giving us real character names up to the point of being factually lazy about this supposed "Major Cabot."

Banner's fight with the punks... someone who posted here a while ago wanting such a scene gets his wish, it seems. I only remember the post and not the poster because he/she was met with the ridicule that it would be too cliche... too much meant for Spidey, Batman or other comic book heroes, not the Hulk. I think the scene works just fine and is a nice primer for subsequent Hulkouts.

My only real problem is with the super soldier serum as it pertains to the Abomination and that is, we've already seen it before with Norman Osborn/the Green Goblin on the big screen. For the Hulk, I think the serum is fine, so long as the script gives a nod to the first film and/or Hulk's accidental-type origins occurring in a lab.

Moving on, I LOVE how Blonsky progressively becomes the Abomination over the course of the script. And LOVE that he gets his butt kicked by the Hulk in their first encounter. I was worried that the script would follow too many of the ideas around here - namely that Abomb should give the Hulk a beating in their first encounter, then leave it up to the Hulk being madder/stronger in a second encounter in which Hulk defeats Abomb (e.g., the apparent death of Betty, for example, causing Hulk's increased anger/strength, which would be INCREDIBLY cliche and/or overall just too predictable). But absolutely love the idea that Blonsky wants to take the serum. The LR review says he's "more than willing" to take it and "a little too happy with his power," and this only leaves it to our imagination just what a freakish beast he becomes, which IMO sets us up perfectly for his tango with the Hulk in NYC... which I'm hoping will be the mother of all fights.

Sterns attempts to treat Bruce. He is amazed and shocked by Bruce’s transformation as the procedure seemingly malfunctions; at last, Bruce turns back to himself, the treatment outwardly effective.

^An interesting little wrinkle IMO. Will be curious to see how it's done.

As the team prepares their assault, Sterns shows Bruce his creations – animals Sterns injected with Bruce’s DNA. Bruce is mad, saying they must all be destroyed lest they fall into the government’s hands.

^More Hulk dogs..?

I liked that effect, and most of the split screens and swipes. A couple times he went crazy on it but overall it enhanced the film. My favorite was when the camera pulls back to reveal a comic page with animated panels from different scenes and then zooms back in on a different panel to continue the story. That was pure genius and I'd love to see that done again.

No AD, it was 24 - one of your favorite shows. Good for a one-time use only IMO.

Only read up to the part where the chick who drinks the soda dies.

So far so good.No more spoilers for me though.
