While the 2003 Hulk was a failure with fans this 2008 reboot is stylish, fast paced, brutal, dark, powerful, smart and just all around fun. The Incredible Hulk is an amazing step up from the firs tin action and in the brutal anger that is Hulk, but it lacks in the emotion department and is at sometimes preposterous and absurd. But ti makes up for that with mind blowing action and a great story and plot to keep it going.
The Incredible Hulk I was hesitant to see, I thought with the cast change and the change of the director but after I finally saw the trailer I broke down and decided to see it. And now I'm glad I did, not only is this film a major improvement in the action department it improves on the Hulk's designs as well. It's an all around great comic book with great heart and a good moral too it, even a monster can be the good guy.
Edward Norton(Who is fantastic here.) Is just as good as Bana as the Hulk, maybe even a little better in some places. He a brings a very humble and less geeky quality than Bana did, he also brings to the table a more sympathetic and clever Bruce Banner than were use to. Banner usual is not as witty or as clever at getting out of tight spots as her is here and to me that is a major step up in the right direction. Live Tyler(Who is all looks.) Is terrible as Betty Ross, while she has the attitude she lacks the power and the strength that Connelly originally gave to the role and is sort of an eye sore in the film, but she does try hard and does good for the most part. Tim Roth(The man who almost stole the show.) Is fantastic as the smart and ruthless as The Abomination the rival of the Hulk. Roth really puts back the bad in bad guy and shines above the rest as a key player in the film. William Hurt(Who is the true show stealer.) Is utterly amazing as General Thaddeus"Thunderbolt" Ross the obsessive military head out to get Banner, He brings the star power and the class and really helps boost the style and feel of this film. But none the less the cast does a good job here and elevates this a little bit closer to comic book greatness.
The Incredible Hulk in my book can't surpass the original, but as a film it does do that in some way and in some ways it doesn't. It has the power and the angry nature that made Hulk well, Hulk but ti lacks in the emotion department and the acting from some of the cast is less than great. But all in all this film does fantastic and is one of the best Comic book films out there. All in all it delivers.
I never watched the 70's T.V. series that first brought the Incredible Hulk to people everywhere, but I have had the pleasure of watching Ang Lee's 2003 big screen adaption of the big green brute. It's a great film that is severely underrated and is not respected as it should, Ang Lee's Hulk is dark, smart, stylish, atmospheric, heart breaking and taunt.
Hulk I didn't like at first I thought it was a little pointless and boring, but after watching it years later I see it for the great comic book adaption it is. It's got great qualities and a power that lies deep within it's complex and thoroughly well thought out plot and story. While not as convincing and Hulk as most people would hope for. It does give us a great look and strong appeal of character and the emotional depth and amazing CGI effects to really keep you interested and incited by this slow moving, but brilliant Comic book adaption.
Eric Bana(Who is great here.) Plays the Hulk with such subtly, humanity and anger. He brings so much more to the table than what is needed and does great with it and gives it all he's got and in the end he comes out on top. Sam Elliot(Who rules here.) Is strong, tough and Ahab obsessed with getting the Hulk It's a thrilling and thought provoking thing to see unfold on screen as you get to see a calculating military man turn into a obsessed hunter. Nick Nolte(Who I don't like but does great here.) He is something of a show stealer as the maniacal and extremely disturbed father of Bruce Banner, he showcases some serious acting chops here and is a real treat to see in this movie. Jennifer Connelly who is amazing and very emotionally powerful as Bruce Banner's love Betty Ross. She brings a heart and soul to this film and she make sit another reasons to see it. But none the less the cast does fantastic here and really helps elevate this film from average to amazing.
Hulk is not a fan favorite because of it's slow pace and not so smashing nature. But I think it's a film to admire and devil in how well made and thought provoking it is a good film that is harshly overlooked. And If your very forgiving and kind It will entertain. All in all Hulk delvers.
What a beautiful movie! What grand and lush style and color, what emotion and care and breath taking scenery.. This has to be one of the most beautiful films of all time.
A walk in the clouds is not something you'd except in the modern film industry, no this film is out side of what we see now of days this film is not a sexual charged romance film like 9 1/2 weeks or Night's In rodanthe. No this film follows the old fashioned way romance use to be like back in the 40's and 50's it is an a film with values that lie deep in the story and plot and if you look deep enough you will see that there more to this film than meets the eye.
Keanu Reeves turns in a very believable and very skilled performance as a lost G.I. trying to find his place in the world, he plays the honorable and very kind Paul with such decency and grace that you just can't love his performance
A walk in the clouds is just what the title says. It's a walk amongst the most beautiful and cherished things in life love, honor, friendship and most important family. This movie is a true joy and wonder to watch unfold on the screen, Once it's over you'll want to watch it again and again it's just that good!
Alfonso Arau directs this beautiful and visually stunning period romance to perfection, and he does with such style and grace that everything seems to fit in. Those that said this movie was terrible or even a mediocre romance weren't watching this movie closely. You need to pretend that your Paul Sutton and that your helping this girl out of her troubles, if you do that, if you immerse yourself in the films grandeur and beauty then you are truly watching A Walk in the Clouds and you are truly seeing a movie that is wroth the time and the money to rent or even buy for your collection.
All in all A Walk in the Clouds is a film that you just can't miss or ignore, it's perfect any day entertainment for anyone with a heart for romance.
