Movies of 2003

Fucking incredible. Danny Boyle is a genius and is one of the most promising directors around, right next to P.T. Anderson and Christopher Nolan. But I think Boyle thought he was making part of 28 Days Later during the filming of the final part of Sunshine. It's the only explanation.

I love Tokyo.

The ending is simply superb. Clint Eastwood is one of the most versatile men in all of Hollywood.

It's sad this film is hated by so many people. Why is it, that people are obsessed with action so much that they can't stand when a character that usually smashes things, talks a lot? Well I guess it would be a problem if it was dribble and completely pointless, but guess what, it's not! The fact that the Hulk character has a strong personality to him makes him all the more likable and in turn makes the movie more enjoyable. Plus, there's plenty of action in the movie. I thought everyone by now has come to realize the Michael Bay movies of action, action, and more action is not the way to go about movies, but I guess moviegoers still have a ways to go.

The cast was actually all perfectly placed, except for maybe one person. And sadly, this is the man behind the Hulk himself. Eric Bana tries hard, I can tell, but he just isn't exactly the right man suited for the angst and anger the Hulk should have. Edward Norton, who is now cast in the new Hulk movie, is a much better choice. Still, Bana gives a decent performance and doesn't totally throw the movie off track.

Everything about this movie screams great superhero flick, but it's not flawless. The comic book panels Lee uses throughout do add style, but come at the cost of getting pretty damn annoying sometimes. Also, it's a tad bit too long for its own good. But even with all its flaws, this is a great representation of the Hulk and it would have been nice to see Ang Lee make his own sequel. Definitely recommended to anyone who's willing to use their brain during the movie.
