My Hulk review
Hulk: This movie is centered on Bruce Banner/the Hulk he's a scientist working on Gamma radiation. One day he gets exposed to it, it cause him to turn into the Hulk. This attracts attention from the Army and someone from Bruce's past, so Bruce has to figure out how to fix his dilemma before things get out of hand.
I can see why people think this movie is bad, however, I don't think it's bad it just boring. When I first saw this movie it bored me to sleep, now not so much. I like that this movie focus on what it's like to be someone with the power of the Hulk? There's more to the Hulk than him being a rampaging monster, this is why I'm surprised that Hulk fans think this movie is bad because this movie is loosely based on Peter Davids work on the character. Despite the mystery in the movie wasn't told well I appreciate this film for being more than just a typical hero stop the villain story. This movie gives us an explanation of how Bruce becomes the Hulk beyond him being exposed to Gamma radiation, seriously that suppose to kill you.
Bruce Banner/the Hulk is a brilliant but troubled man because of his past. I'm not sure what cause him to turn into the Hulk, I mean he doesn't look angry when he does turn into the Hulk for the most part. Plus, the movie doesn't give Bruce a chance to sort out his baggage. What's the point of this movie being a victim story if the main character doesn't work past his shortcoming?
Betty Ross is Bruce's co-worker and Thunderbolt Ross's daughter. Despite her and Bruce are not a couple anymore you can kind of tell she still cares about him.
Glenn Talbot is an associate of Thunderbolt Ross, he's ruthless and over the top. I don't mind him being over the top considering how heavy the movie is.
General Thunderbolt Ross is a typical soldier who has history with Bruce through his father.
Speaking of Bruce's father David Banner, he's a scientist who's nuts. My issue with him is how is he a free man? We learn that he did things that cause him to get arrested, so why is he still not in prison? Also, he doesn't feel bad for all the crap he cause to Bruce, father of the year people.
Like I said one of the many problems with this movie is that it's boring there are three reasons why. First of all, expectation judging from the trailers we thought this was going to be a popcorn flick, but that's not the case. Second, the first five or ten minutes of the movie reveal what was suppose to be a mystery, so the viewers have to wait for the characters to put two and two together. Finally, the pacing in this movie is so slow. (My reaction to watching this movie.) Come on ! Hurry up!
I'm surprised that this movie is marketed toward kids, what made the creators think kids would want to see a movie like this? Then again, the Star Wars prequels are slow so I can't blame them for thinking that they can get away with it. The editing also hurt the movie because it takes me out of the seriousness of the film, the movie has comic book panels, artwork and miss place scenes. The final fight wouldn't have happened if General Ross didn't let it happen. The movie has no joke! I'm sorry I notice three jokes in the movie however the pacing ruins them for me.
I wish I can say that this is an underrated movie but the flaws with this movie keep me from saying that. Instead, this is the black sheep of the comic book movies I would recommend this if you like Unbreakable. (Heck Unbreakable is better than this kind of.)
Rating = rental
