I see a lot of complaining about Bana being so bland in this and I think people didn't really pay attention very well. Throughout the first part of the film prior to the Hulk's emergence the other characters are constantly remarking how emotionless and blank Banner is, heck that is why Betty leaves him. After the hulk…

I think he was referring to Tim Burton, Richard Donner, Alex Proyas, Bryan Singer, and Guillermo Del Toro. The earliest frontrunners in successful superhero movies.

I think this may be part of the reason I really like this movie more than other superhero films. It has a stamp of the people who made it. It has a music theme, that to me was as compelling as the original Superman theme, or Batman Animated Series Theme, it gave it an indelible stamp. I think that is the reason the…

This, I consistently scratch my head when people say it wasn't like the comics, he was too green, and what was with the jumping, and there was no villain. A lot of early Hulk, Hulk was the villain and Banner was the Hero and everyone else was either trying to help or hinder him.

God I watched the Incredible Hulk and was flabbergasted that people said it looked better. It looked different but hardly better, the Hulk looked more like PITT from the Image universe all roided out same for Abomination.

Actually if you take out the Hulk its a fairly run of the mill Ang Lee film. A father does something terrible and tries to fix it by keeping it a secret making things worth and inevitable kills his wife while his young son watches. A man who has practiced his whole life controlling his emotions has become an…

I enjoyed that actually it not only did it deflate a little of the self seriousness of it, it was what Nolte's character had at hand.

I was interested in both. I found Nick's character compelling: A scientist who was willing to test on himself to find better ways to make the body heal itself inadvertently passes something on to his son. He is then denied the ability to work on helping his son and in a moment of anger and desperation destroys. Bruce…

I'm guessing you didn't read a lot of the Hulk comics because other than Planet Hulk long stretches of the comics have involved no Hulk.

Didn't find it that confusing. Nick Nolte's character absorbs the characteristics of anything he touchs. The main characteristic of the Hulk is his boundless rage, boundless being the operative word. This boundless rage overwhelmed and literally blew him apart in the very same type of explosion that created the…

See I liked the final battle it is almost literally a contest between two gods fighting amongst the clouds causing thunder and lightening. Seeing the Hulk go toe to toe with someone ends up being kind of boring or used as comic relief as other than say Thor no one is really much of a match for him.

See I didn't see it that way. Nick Nolte says he can partake in the characteristics of anything he touches. The main characteristic of The Hulk is not the gamma radiation it is his rage. His rage is absolutely boundless as shown throughout the entire film. The more angry you make him the stronger he gets. In this…

See I liked Bana because unlike Norton or Ruffalo he actually felt unhinged underneath. He was calm and beige most of the time but consistently also had this air of someone who is about to snap. I know he is the exact wrong body type for Banner but I thought he nailed the character. Its funny how people say "Where's…

Nope. What if the person is just going along such dirty talk, what if they are inexperienced and so just acquiesce to such dirty talk. Someone who may not be used to dirty talk may just accept such an act while still feeling uncomfortable. They may continue to feel uncomfortable afterwards. I would say that for such a…

This times infinity. Reading up on where the term "cisgendered" came from and why it was used leads me to believe it was a term that the trans community used to label others as a way to deal with how they are labeled. Almost like taking ownership. What is concerning is now it is used to bludgeon people to shut up. I…

I agree and I think the more subtle point is that with the alien's corpse left behind there is a glimmer of hope that these creatures could be fought or destroyed. The "alien" would be a point that the world could rally behind and would have been no invention of any country.

Here is why this is wrong. Of the two possibilities for uniting the world an Alien invasion would be the far more likely than Dr. Manhattan. An invasion with the destruction of multiple cities with then a dead carcass for all to see and investigate gives the world an enemy to unite against but more importantly and…

I really liked Mr. Beast and Hawk is Howling but CODY will always be my
favorite because it was the first. I have to admit it it is very uneven
and I skip a few tracks but "Punk Rock" with a spoken word sample from
Iggy Pop, "CODY", "Waltz for Aidan", "May Nothing But Happiness Come
Through Your Door" "Ex-Cowboy" and…

@avclub-78c86aa171e1ab86948a7e10c471fc63:disqus  I'm not asking that Walt be punished. That is not the point I'm trying to make. The show is about Walt becoming Heisenberg basically a man slowing abandoning his morals until he is an amoral villain. Everything up to the last episode seemed to indicate this but in the…

This looks like a show that Max Fischer from Rushmore would make. Anybody else get that vibe?
