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 feel your pain brother

where is Captain America mentioned?
I think that "super serum" thing is just another way to talk about research on regeneration and strenght... like in the first one, where Atheon wants Bruce Banner's blood to create a super soldier.
Same thing in "The Death of The Incredible Hulk"...
Best post in the entire thread.![]()
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.
The Hulk CB universe plays off the whole Gamma Bomb senario. Thats why it so important they get that right, not copy other hero's origins!
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.
The heck with that Ultimate Universe. I want the Hulk with 40 years of history!
Agreed, a gamma explosion NEEDS to be there.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh music to my ears![]()
Ha ha, its a strange feeling agreeing with you.......i dont like itt: .
Funny, I thought the same thing yesterday. The world is going to explode![]()

I for one,am glad they are breaking away from the typical formula all the Marvel movies up to this point have been using to death.
Incident -->Discovery of powers -->adjusting to new life and personal life-->emergence of villain-->etc.
Thank God for Norton,it's about time somebody actually tried to make a good movie before making sure everything lines up with the comics.
And also,all the rumors about the Ultimate Hulk influences make me giddy in the pants.
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 too."
Well those 3 are simply the best of the best IMO.
Other examples of getting it right are there, Blade 1 and 2, Hellboy, Spiderman, X-Men, V For Vendetta, Sin City and especially Superman Returns got it VERY right IMO, just not as right as those 3.
Well, that's what we're talking about, isn't it? Not just ordinary movies that may have done well, but movies that truly excelled and pleased everyone. Can you honestly say the rest of those movies pleased everyone? Personally, I would put Hulk on the level of all of those movies, but my hope is TIH will be a Spidey 2, Batman Begins or X2.
Superman Returns... I just don't see what people like you saw in that movie. Same old villain, same old weakness, same old everything... the story's been told like, what, a million times? I just don't get it. Loved the scene where he saves the plane, though... that was kind of neat.Oh, and I liked Brandon Routh. The rest was utterly boring IMO and the impregnated Lane... well, I didn't like that idea.
I applaud you sir. I wasn't a fan of any Spidey film but the first, Superman Returns was a complete bust, because well it was boring. I enjoyed Luther, the end. Batman Begins I thought was an AMAZING film, but it didn't appease me on all levels, I felt it was a great film... not a great Batman film (Forgive me for hating this grounding it in reality garbage.) Also never enjoyed Blade. These arn't films that appeased everyone, heck, no film appeases everyone.
To go even further I knew more people who were bored through Superman Returns than Hulk.
Well thank YOU, kind sir. I've tended to agree with your opinions as I've seen you post them, but unless you say something disagreeable or inflammatory, well, there's nothing really to talk about, you know?![]()

But yeah, I actually edited my last post before seeing yours to allow for Spider-Man to be an exception to Jamon's list. That movie really was awesome and I say that with the asterisk that it was especially timely with the Sept. 11 aftermath... it was therapeutic for all of us, it seemed. But there was something about Spidey 2 that I liked even more. I think it was the hopeless romantic in me latching onto Peter and MJ and her finding out everything. And the "Raindrops Falling on My Head" scene. That was just such a cool idea IMO. But I don't think I've watched any movie as much as I've watched Spidey 2, not even my beloved Hulk.
Keeping it off-topic, I loved Batman Begins infinitely more than any of the other Batmans. Like, BB officially put the comic book hero on the map for me. Before, it was just a bunch of goofy, dark films IMO with a wannabe tough guy who has neat little gadgets (and a wickedly cool car). For the record, my company's CEO - I work in a small nonprofit - insists the '89 Batman was the best comic book movie of all-time.
Never saw the Blade movies, 300, V for Vendetta or Elektra. And Hellboy was average IMO. Sin City was just out there IMO... sort of got roped into seeing that one. Wouldn't have seen it otherwise.
Going back to a conversation we had a while ago, I do love Narnia and the way Aslan looks. I bring that up because R&H is doing TIH (so it's relevant to this thread), but mainly because I think you might've gotten the impression that I thought Aslan was not believable as a CG character... and that wasn't the case. When I watch the movie, I don't see kids superimposed around him, but I see a live lion interacting with them. I was just trying to say that I think it's easier to digitally recreate an animal than a human.
Well, I must admit, with some characters such as Spider-man I fall into the "Fanboy syndrome" so, when I didn't see funny, witty Peter, and getting geeky awkward Parker, I felt a bit jaded. Whenever I read a comic, Spidey was the one to make me laugh.. not so much with Tobey. I felt there was humor but that his Peter was more of a joke, rather than spouting them. Though I must admit, Raimi's got one sick sense of humor with things like the Raindrops scene, and the dancing down the streets number in Spidey 3. lol
For me, BB again, amazing movie, will probably keep watching it. But for me, I was never big on Batman himself persay, but his villains. And although I got one amazing Batman I got "meh." villains. Even with the upcoming Dark Knight, I feel the twist to make the non-funny un-white-skinned-only-homicidal-Joker just isn't for me. I loves me some glorified, "Never could happen in a million years" villains.
And true about animals being a bit easier to model. But judging on the concept art they are on the right track, and if all else fails if they have a monsterish, animal-like Abomination, it should be pretty nice.![]()
I think that is an awesome idea CJ. Kind of a inter-battle between Banner and Hulk. Very nice.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;

I'm sorry but they are turning Banner in the Dr. Jekyll & Hulk into Hyde! When in the comic it was an accident.
