We should have some slow motion scenes in TIH.

[HULKSTER'04]

i never saw some in the first film, maybe it would be nice to see some in this new film.

 

[November Rain]

slow mo is retro, i don't even know why they are including it in ghost rider, it's very early 2000s...

it's all about going high octane and keeping it up there...

 

[HULKSTER'04]

i think it will captivate the audience, like in the matrix movies.
Personally i would like to see a slow mo when the Hulk does the thunderclap and everything flies in mid air and then have the cams roll at normal speed again-that would be a freakin' awesome scene!

 

[November Rain]

the matrix movie special effects have been overused so much it's not even funny, it's time to move on from the glamourous slow motions scenes.

the hulk goes on a crazy rampage at a crazy pace, why slow it down. slow motion is eally looking at the finesse of something, whether destructive or articulate (or perhaps both).

the hulk should tear through an area like a hurricane. i don't see what the slow mo scene could bring to it.

I'm not saying that we should have an hour of slow mo in this film coz that would suck, and only the matrix movies have overused it.
All i'm saying is that we should have SOME not many or more just plain some like a few seconds.
Particularly during the time when the Hulk does the thunderclap.

And the Matrix Effect being referred to as "The Matrix Effect" when it wasn't even the first movie (by YEARS) to use the effect is so overused it's not funny either.

 

[HULKSTER'04]

slow mo effect in Behind enemy lines were ok, remeber that bosnian soldier who tripped over a land mine and everything blows up in slow mo?

can you honestly say that was retro?

use that effect in Hulk's thunderclap and it will be an instant movie effect icon.

alright, what was the first movie to use it then?

 

[HULKSTER'04]

November Rain, since you called the slow mo effect as "retro" or old stuff, how come it still carries a ripple through the years?

Picture this in your head: the Hulk does the thunderclap and then the cams run in slow mo plus the 180 degree angular views. Damn! that be freakin' awesome!

 

[HULKSTER'04]

slow mo for Hulk!yay!

This is because throughout the late 90s and early 90s, this shot was parodied and used consistently in shots.

When a shot no longer becomes about getting a point across to the viewer and is more about the cinematography and special effects, it then takes the viewer out of the viewing experience and instead of getting engulfed by the scene they go..

'oh look, another-matrix-slow-mo-camera-rotation scene'

and that's not particularly helpful.

besides the best way to express a thunderclap would be in full time, The first film shows you can do action scenes without slowing everything/anything down

A few seconds of slow mo will NOT take the audience remeniscing the OLD matrix feel, maybe it will only affect you!
Maybe you're the one who's retro the rest of us are moving forward to the future. Besides those films that copied the matrix's slow mo feat made no sense like "SWORD FISH" yeah why did they even included a matrix slow mo in it? TIH will have a different feel coz people will go and watch a movie about Hulk and not the matrix a FEW SECONDS of slow mo wont hurt as bad as you say it would!

if you say so

 

[HULKSTER'04]

^finally we have a middle ground!

 

[HULKSTER'04]

just a few sec pls? slow mo............................................
thanks lol

 

[HULKSTER'04]

slow mo.....slow.....,but not too slow to show,just a few slow seconds.lol

 

[Golgo-13]

A slow mo shot of Hulk ripping out Abominations throat or heart but that's about it.

 

[The Kid]

slow mo is a dramatic device that has become grossly overused. Please just use it only if it's necessary and not to just be "cool"

 

[wildjokers]

i would say yes,but like golgo said during the battle,or in an amazing feat of strength,like do a slow mo of the first time when hulk punches the abomination so you can be able to see sound waves and see and hear the sonic boom when he punches him.

someone mention that to LL,and remember it was my idea.

 

[MrHateYourself]

You know what Hulk effect I want to see? A believable Hulk.

Agreed! i didn't ask too much slow mo, just a few seconds will make me happy and probably others too.

 

[halfapple]

I donno about the whole slow motion thing, its ok I guess.

But would be nice to see from Hulk would be to see him acctually using every ounce of strength Hulk can summon to do something or balance something where we get to see the vasularity from Hulks muscles look as if they are about to explode.

Something like Ronnie Coleman or Jay Cuttler!

 

[matthooper]

No slow motion....ever. Well almost never.

Even at it's best, it's usually addded only because the real time action didn't look cool enough. Even the Matrix which was done well was overdone in my opinion. I liked it better when you saw Neo at real speed, super fast with the motion blurr. It's a device used to create dramatic effect, and to me it doesn't work. The only time I really liked slo-mo in a movie was the few seconds in Spider-Man 2 right before he started to lose his powers for the first time while webslinging. That was just beauty in motion.

We don't see things in slow motion, so why should we see it on screen?

 

[Dangerous]

it's very early 2000s...

You mean very mid eighties.

Like you say w/ Hulk films, its about high energy and pacing.
So no slo mo.

 

[Cth]

Slow motion is fine, when used properly.

IE: To accentuate a particularly devastating punch or to indicate the tide of the battle is turning. It builds up audience anticipation and generally causes them to cheer for the good guy.

Ditch the rotating camera/matrix thing though.

I like the idea of a thunderclap's effects being shown, but would rather see the effect of a punch from the Hulk which is then sped up when it connects.

Example of what I'm talking about:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=eGDByvIrlc0

Remember complaints from the first film, the end battle (and to a lesser degree the dog fight) were too hard to follow. Either they were too dark, too quick, etc.

I'm not saying the whole fight/film should be slow, but it'll give it more gravity when it does happen.

Look at Batman Begins.. people complained that the action was too hard to follow (defenders claimed it was to show Batman's speed and the chaos, when the director isn't really known for that kind of shot)

Audiences should be able to absorb just how powerful and devastating his attacks are.. one such way to do that is sparringly using slow motion..
