The Incredible Hulk: 7/10
Everyone is raving about how good Edward Norton is as the Hulk. I thought Eric Bana was better personally. They definitely ramped up the CGI in this one though. Its still not great...a lot of the time I felt like I was watching a cartoon, but they did a much better job this time around. Best part of the movie...Robert Downey Jr's camio at the end as Tony Stark and the hint of an eventual 'Avengers' movie. THAT I can't wait to see. Anyone have any idea of who they are considering to have play Captain America?!
Wanted: 5/10
I will admit, I missed about 25 minutes of the movie due to a slight bathroom incident :nervous:, but I really didn't like this one at all. Some of the action sequences are amazing, no doubt about it, but the storyline is just so ridiculous. James Mcavoy is pretty damn good though. He reminds me a bit of Shia Lebeouf.
July is going to kick some serious ass...The Dark Knight, Hellboy 2, and Stepbrothers are all coming out. :D |
*edit*
I caught Incredible Hulk the weekend before last. Didn't think it was anything special, but it wasn't terrible. I'd never seen the first one so I can't compare the two. The plot of The Hulk comics itself isn't all that dynamic or substantive (compared to say, X-Men w/all its social-political undertones) so I wasn't really expecting a phenomenal movie. I'll be interested to see how The Avengers comes together though. I did have a few good laughs at the resemblance between Beema and Edward Norton in a few of the scenes but that might have just been the acid... :p |

Not sure if you could really compare Ed Norton and Eric Bana as their roles were totally different. Norton may have been just as good, or better, if he had to play a character who was mentally deteriorating. The role of Bruce Banner is probably a little less challenging. Maybe critics just gave him acclaim because the last person who played Banner was so terrible (assuming he was).

I got A.D.D and cant watch movies in a theatre. I've been to the cinema twice in My whole life.
1, When My Mum dragged Me to see 'ABBA the Movie'
2, When My ex-GF forced Me to go and see 'dirty dancing'(although I sneaked out to the bathroom after about 20 mins and never returned)
When it comes to movies I always look out for your guys reviews and catch 'em on demand. Or I check out all the stuff that My Wife works on.
Check out Sheila Gentile on IMDB |
Thats hilarious Steven, You are so funny, good looking and hung like a horse.. I love you so much.. |

exactly what do you mean by "IMO" :conf:
I'm always confused when you use this because I always thought it means "In my opinion" but it doesn't always work in the ways that you use it......

I liked the new Indiana Jones as well. I did however cringe during the scene in which Shia Lebeouf is swinging through the jungle with all the monkeys. The IJ action scenes are always wild and kind of not realistic, but that vine-swinging scene was really bad and hard to watch.
oh, and Cate Blanchett was so damn hot as the evil Nazi lady. |
