Even Big Top Pee-Wee?

Never seen or heard of this movie before now. Thanks for ruining that xD

This will always be Hulk's one true theme

I wish Incredible Hulk kept this theme ): Soon it will be forgotten forever.

That's a theme?

 

[Daredevil]

0:22-1:14 is.

I dont know why you think it ISNT when it is so recurrent throughout the rest of the movie and gets better (especially at the end in the final fight of the movie)

 

[Obi-Ron]

You know, I think I heard a nod to this theme in The Incredible Hulk , right after Banner changes and leaps out of the college's overhead walkway.

I loved Danny Elfman's Hulk theme...one the best scores from a Marvel movie.

But THIS will always be the Hulk's theme.

Mainly the LONELY MAN portion of the theme, which is instantly recognizable by most people. They used it a bit in the Norton movie. Not enough in my opinion. They should have developed that into a more familiar portion of the score.

The final fight in this movie was excellent. I loved how David Banner/Absorbing Man was always pushed into objects which help his cause.


But the dessert scene is beyond fantastic.

The film should have had Lonely Man play at the end of the movie.

I just watched Incredible Hulk again because I watched it two years ago. It was MUCH better then I remember it and now I understand why Norton gets all the praise he gets. I do think that Hulk had MUCH better Rosses (They should have let Sam Elliot reprise his role like he wanted. He was beyond perfect) and I think that for some reason people think that there isnt enough story to TIH. I thought it had a great story, but in all honesty, I think that I am going to watch Hulk again tonight. It was great as well. Especially the dessert scene. But to be honest now I am at a loss as to which is better... since they are just so different.

I can understand that. I think if you could combine the best of those movies, you'd have the movie we always wanted. I like them both, but they are indeed such different fims.

I've always said that I think Hulk is the better film, but TIH is the better Hulk film.

I loved Hurt in TIH, but I agree they should have left it to Sam. He was as near perfect as J.K. Simmons' was for JJJ.

The desert fight and perfect storytelling of Banner's inner struggle just made the movie amazing. Too bad so many failed to admit it.

I sent a nice message to this one user on IMDB who kept trolling the Hulk movie board. EVERYTIME someone said something good about the movie he would insult it and never said a good thing about the movie. He is so annoying. And here is the reply I got xD

Listen buddy, we all have opinions and we are all entitled to them. If you hated Angs Hulk (I didnt, I thought it was okay, and thought that about the newer one also)then good for you. But why do you repeatedly come to the Hulk board if you hate it? Its very much like trolling and your attitude towards fans of the movie is quite negative and offensive so I was wondering if maybe you could stop frequenting it or continue frequenting it while not being such a jerk to people.

Who do you think you are, the nazi poster police? Sometimes we dont always agree, lifes a ***** is'nt it! These are'nt fan boards, if you want a touchy feely ooh we all love Ang Lees Hulk then go find a website dedicated to its worship where you can enjoy mutual banality with likeminded fools, otherwise accept that others are entitled to express their opinions on IMDB and deal with it.

Keef, who can't believe there are posters out there like you!

 

[Obi-Ron]

You should just stay here and enjoy the banality.

I've always said that I think Hulk is the better film, but TIH is the better Hulk film.

I agree!

I really don't get what everybody thought was so good about the 2008 one. I love Edward Norton as much as the next guy, but that had to be one of the most bland movies I've ever seen. Poorly directed, banal dialog. Just because a movie isn't boring doesn't mean it's interesting.

The fact is that audiences weren't ready for the 2003 version. This was the post-Spider-Man era of superhero movies when they were expected to be superaccessible pop blockbusters. (The era that the Edward Norton version belonged in.) If this movie had come out in the wake of The Dark Knight, people would've loved it.

Very well said.

I remember seeing an interview with Josh Lucas on a UK breakfast show, it was a couple of months before Hulk was released, and he was saying things like,..'Ang has made a truly groundbreaking superhero movie, this will change the way people look at superhero movies, the mix of deep psychological drama with the same type of high action we expect.'
Ok, I am paraphrasing from an old memory, but it that was the jist, the guy was in awe of the movie, and was convinced it was a gamechanger that people would embrace.
But they didn't, people don't need to see it in the wake of TDK to appreciate it, if the hulk movie was as creatively successful as that movie, it would have done the job itself, *that* would have been the movie to usher in a new feeling of cb/sh movies being taken seriously as films, beyond any kind of genre tag.

edit: at it's best that what the old tv show did, gave us some serious drama dealing with real life subjects, offset by ridiculously fun action sequences featuring a large green mutant. People were expecting an amped up version of the tv show, and that is kind of what we got, that mix of the serious with the ridiculous. But personally, I don't think it worked as well with the movie, the tv show dealt with things we could readily relate to, and the movie got a bit too mired in it's own self importance, it's own intellect, and was not even that great of a high brow drama.
I enjoyed the movie a lot on first watch at the cinema, and still can these days, to an extent, but I just do not think the balance works so well in the Ang movie, and that's because the drama is very heavy without being very emotionally or intellectually satisfying. And if something is going to be as dense to wade through as that, it really needs to pay off on those terms. I think the Dark Knight did succeed in engaging audeince's emotions and intellects, and that's why it succeeded with people while Hulk did not.
I admire what he was trying to do with Hulk though.

I agree Sam Elliot was fantastic. He should have been re cast for TIH.

If you ask me everyone from Ang's movie should have been cast in TIH. I would have just made a sequel instead of a reboot. But I can see why Marvel changed everyone up. Ang's movie got heat, and I guess they didn't want anything associated with it.

 

[Obi-Ron]

It's too bad, since TIH tried a little too hard to distance itself.

True. Its a bit pathetic how much they distanced it actually. Probably why there was no uber leaping
