Looks like the Comic Book Movie bubble is about to burst. I just saw the trailer for the Hulk during the Super Bowl and it looks like a modern times version of Shrek. Why the hell do these idiots go overboard with the cgi? I mean they couldve had Lou Ferigno painted in green ala 1970's and it still would've been 20X cooler. I thought that spider man was bad but atleast they only used the cgi during web swinging scenes and even then it was crap. Looked more like I was watching a cartoon than a movie. As always Hollywood goes overboard with a genre once again. I cant beleive they didnt learn not to waste our time with extra fancy crap when something already works. Didnt the whole Batman series teach them anything?
I really honestly don't know what would be more painful: Being forced to watch Hulk or being forced to watch Daredevil. Good god, these things have got to stop.
After first Jurassic Park everything went downhill from there. Hulk looks like schit effects any mediocre network cartoon can reproduce.
Solely for the fact that Jennifer Gardner is playing Electra and is scantly clad or clad in skin-tight outfits in Dare Devil I plan on going to see the movie.
You can watch Alias and see much, much more. Why subject yourself to such a crap production of a movie with the horrible Ben Affleck in it, though? It's not like you can't see Garner all scantily clad anywhere on the internet or in magazines.
Indeed. This whole comicbook adaptation business is getting ridiculous. Kevin Smith should make a Bluntman & Chronic movie for the sole purpose of killing the genre. Matrix Reloaded on the other hand looks purdy darn good.
I'm a bit hesitant about going to see Daredevil, mainly because of Affleck and the changes they made to the Kingpin, but I will go on opening day just because I've been reading Daredevil since Miller was writing it. I've never read the Hulk, but I'll give it a try. If I can download it it'll be better though. The new Matrix looks awesome.
Due to my insane level of intoxication during the superbowl last night, I vaugly remember seeing the matrix trailer. I'd seen the other ones they done so far, and since it was a new one I got on their website to download it. The Matrix being my favorite movie, I just got chills watching it. Daredevil looks pretty cool I think, but The Hulk just looked comical. (Pun may or may not have been intentional).
Daredevil looks much more promising once you see the following big-ass trailers. Try to download the Hi-res versions. Trailer B (the biggest- 22MB) seems to show the best footage, with Elektra and Bullseye. At least 'ol hornhead's suit seems to be real leather and not CGI animation. http://www.superherohype.com/daredevil/downloads.php Regardless, since DD is my favorite comic book hero, I am buying these: http://store.yahoo.com/wickedcoolstuff/darlogredtsh.html http://store.yahoo.com/wickedcoolstuff/darelbobset.html What can I say...the kid in me just came out. What I'm also looking forward to is Ghost Rider. Hopefully, they won't go overboard with the CGI and Nicolas Cage and the writers will do the comic book justice.
I'm looking forward to Hellboy the most. From what I've read they're going to be using prosthetics mainly for Hellboy and word is that they look amazing.
I had that t-shirt about 10 years ago, back in high school. Matter of fact I still have it, it's pretty worn though.
My student discount at movie theaters will technically be ending soon (but as long as I look like my ID, I'll always be a student) so I gotta use it while I can. Jenifer Gardner in tight costumers on my TV (32 inches) or Jenifer Gardner in tight costumes and a huge movie screen. It'll be worth the $6.50...and I'll bring my own popcorn.
I'm hoping the CGI for the Hulk wasn't the finished product. It looked ridiculous. A lot of times, studios will put effects shots into commercials that aren't fully realized, just for the purpose of being able to run a commercial. For example, the first round of The Two Towers trailers showed scenes from the Helm's Deep battle that had a lot more work done to them by the time the movie was finished. I would assume there's still a lot of post-production to be done, but the studio was pushing for a Super Bowl commercial, so the Hulk's animators gave them whatever they had. I wouldn't be surprised if the finished film looks 100x better than what we saw last night.
Don't fear, X2 is on the way. I am dissapointed with the Hulk from what I've seen, but I've never been a Hulk fan and i doubt it will be too fun to watch a cgi thing smash a ton of sh!t anyways, so I guess from the get go I haven't been willing to look forward to it. Daredevil might be cool. I think they are going overboard with the flying around crap in the previews, but the story might be good, if they paid enough attention to some of the excellent daredevil comic storylines, and the action hopefully will have been well done. But hopefully, neither of these two films will deter the public from taking in X-Men 2. I completely agree that it looks like Hollywood is already trying to ruin a great genre, but films like X2 and Spiderman sequels, if as well done as the originals, will be worth wading through the pretenders. The cgi in spiderman could have been better, I am with you, but the other 99% of the film was par none. I just hope we get to see a few more good comic book films before it is all completely over.
