Well I may as well start this off before it comes out, even though some people have already seen it (*points to myself*). It is a lot different than I thought it would be, it turned out to be very Ang Lee'ish as one would suspect and I am glad that I watched it before going to the theater to possibly waste money. I could give you guys a long detailed description of the movie, but I think I would rather go see it again in the theater before fully discussing it (since it was not a finished product when I saw it). I think that people will be pleasantly surprised with this version. If you want any details. Then go ahead and ask away.
I'm a massive Hulk fan, have been since I was a tot. First things first....Bruce Banner/Hulk only has interactions with Brian Banner, Bruce's father, in recollections, and/or dreams. Seemingly from the previews, Brian Banner plays a huge role in the movie. It seems that he is some sort of gene therapist or something of the sort, when in fact he was only a phd in physics. I'll be interested to see exactly how Brian Banner's part enters into the story. I hope it's not that significant. Second, I understand having Hulk fight the Hulkbusters and General Ross, however wouldn't it of been even better to see him go toe to toe with Abomination, Juggernaut, Rhino, or The Leader? Oh well, I'm expecting to not be overly impressed with this, but who knows, maybe I will.
Yeah, Brain Banner does play a huge role in this movie. And for the most part most of Bruce's interaction with him is through dream sequences. I would say that you have to start simple with Hulk enemies. And the General is a good place to start. I never followed the comic book all that much, but I did watch the show with Lou Ferrigno. That is what bugged me about the movie. I was so used to seeing Lou Ferrigno busting out of his shirt, that is what I was hoping for when they I did hear they were coming out with the movie. I think the younger crowd will get a hoot and holler out of the movie, but the older generation will long for the dats of Mr. Ferrigno. BTW, in the movie, the CGI Hulk is not terrible. I just don't like CGI when I am used to an actual human playing that role (take X-Men for example, no CGI).
