[QUOTE="Default Name Player, post: 952282, member: 2667"] Instead of typing up another, here's a mini-review I did for the movie I posted in another forum: ------------------------------------------------- Saw it last night. First of all, I agree that the commercials utterly suck. With that said... For all of those complaining about the CGI, it varies throughout the movie, but in general: - the Hulk's "presence" within the live action environment is, in most cases, quite good which lends it a level of believability - Hulk's movement is better than the CGI Spider-Man, Neo & Agent Smiths. I'm not bashing those movies since I like them, but that's just my impression based on how noticeable it was. - Sometimes, the Hulk just feels a little TOO green, sort of comic book green. Yeah, a total nitpick since the Hulk is suppose to be green. - the Hulk fighting sequences were done VERY nicely...you can literally feel the anger and rage, and Hulk fights like a down and dirty brawler. The Hulk vs. M1 Abram tanks fight is worth the admission. In terms of "CGI believeability", I rank Hulk below Gollum. Story-wise, - it's a long movie, so it drags in a spot or two (but doesn't drag annoyingly like, say, parts of "Attack of the Clones") - it ends up being an ensemble piece of Banner, Betty Ross, Banner's Father, and the Hulk. This is actually a good thing since the supporting characters don't seem to suddenly "disappear" by the end of the movie (ie whatever happened to -insert major supporting character's name-) - the basics of the Hulk's origin is there. I use to, and still, read comic books, but I'm not a raving looney fan, and I'm satified with what was done. - the transition, cutting and fading of the scenes gives the movie a comic book feel...in a good way. It takes a little getting use to, but I ended up liking it. It definitely adds to the overall feel of the movie. - people might have read about the presence of dogs in the movie. Yes, I rolled my eyes when I first heard about it too. All I have to say is that it was a pretty damn good - and vicious - fight. Overall, I recommend the movie because it was entertaining. It won't change your life. It won't sweep the Academy Awards. And despite what a poster or two are saying, no, it's not an utterly depressing movie. There's conflict in it, and perhaps because the characters aren't shallow or total stereotypes, it might cause some dissonance for those who might be expecting some kind of Godzilla-type destruction movie. all IMO ;) [/QUOTE]
