Does it have Hulk dogs? by theBigE	Jun 5th, 2008 02:17:07 AM
Cause they were kind of cool in the last movie.
Hulk Out by tygrus2000	Jun 5th, 2008 02:17:10 AM

Refuse to believe... by ILostMyDrumSet	Jun 5th, 2008 02:18:31 AM
There is no way this movie can be as good as they all said it is. And there is no way that I believe Kung Fu Panda is going to be any good either. I simply refuse!
Sounds... by DigitalBeachWar	Jun 5th, 2008 02:19:10 AM
pretty promising. I have yet to see Iron Man.. sadly i saw Indy 4 for some lame reason... but yes I will do a back to backer with Iron Man and Hulk.
can we get a review from someone who hates iron man by angrykirby.tk	Jun 5th, 2008 02:21:13 AM
I feel like the only person who hated iron man, it was corny, too long and the action sucked. I want a new hulk review from someone who hated iron man, or atleast from someone who is willing to call ang lees mess the wreck it was. I can't trust fanboys oppinions.
ILostMyDrumSet by DigitalBeachWar	Jun 5th, 2008 02:21:28 AM
i agree Kung Fu Panda looks lame as hell.. like Beverly Hills Ninja rewritten for kids. i think WALL*E will take the cake over all.
that trailer that showed you the first 40 minutes in five by angrykirby.tk	Jun 5th, 2008 02:28:28 AM
the iron man trailer which condenced the origin into like 5 minutes is a great example of how the start of iron man goes on for soo long for no reason, we get it, he's building a suit, I don't give a crap about your indian scientist friend.that part is soo long, it didn't need to be, the trailer did it better in 5 minutes then it did in 40.
NO MUTANT POODLES...!!! by Greigy Just Wanted To Say	Jun 5th, 2008 02:31:15 AM

Amazing by ewokstew	Jun 5th, 2008 02:35:02 AM
That so many positive reviews have come in. I'm still skeptical, though.
angrykirby.tk by BadMrWonka	Jun 5th, 2008 02:37:51 AM
"can we get a review from someone who hates iron man?" no, because anyone that stupid can't string together words into a coherent thought. you know...like your posts.
The word needs to get out... by hegele	Jun 5th, 2008 02:46:50 AM
this one needs to make a good dollar if we want more independent marvel films!
Lostmydrumset by supersize	Jun 5th, 2008 02:47:31 AM
Is it because you lost your drums?
Thor's still going to suck. by Baked	Jun 5th, 2008 02:54:28 AM
But I'll keep my fingers crossed that they figure out a way to do something cool with that steaming pile.
Finally........ by ChiefRoberts	Jun 5th, 2008 02:57:14 AM
what the Hulk character deserves, a fucking damn good movie! Can't wait to see this sumbitch! Bring on June 13th!
Angry.kirby.tk...... by ChiefRoberts	Jun 5th, 2008 03:01:30 AM
you are a cunt! Why are you even on here you dick! 'I can't trust fanboys oppinions' (correctly spelt opinions!) You're on the wrong fucking site then.
angrykirby.tk by Bones	Jun 5th, 2008 03:02:12 AM
Take some Ritalin and slow down. There is this thing called DRAMA. It is where actors inhabit characters and try to evoke emotion and tell a story. In Iron Man, it was important to show how Tony Stark changed to become the man who would build the Iron man suit. It is not about the suit--it is about the Man in the Suit. So, it is all about metamorphosis. That is a big, complicated word for change. The suit is the icing on the cake.
Now, about the Hulk... by Bones	Jun 5th, 2008 03:10:26 AM
I cannot wait. My first comic book was the Marvel Treasury Edition #17 - featuring The Incredible Hulk from 1978 (well, besides the 3-pack reprint Star Wars comics that we all had). It was oversized, full-color and had Hulk battleing Rhino, The Leader, Havok, and a swamp thing rip-off called the Glob. I have been collecting comics for 30 years now, 25 of which I have been a serious collector. Thanks, Hulk! See you at the movies!
These reviews are plants: Only one mentioned the crap CGI.. by wowsah156	Jun 5th, 2008 03:27:52 AM
Really. To sum up why i wont see the new film. I dont like Ed Norton. Hes just a gimp. The CGI is rubbish. Why no Jennifer Connolly? And they used the music from Bill Bixby's TV show in the trailer. HOW DARE THEY. No i am not paying money to watch this crap.
Hulk's cool by a rolling stone	Jun 5th, 2008 03:43:51 AM
And I will give this one a shot in theaters. I like Marvel's patience at building a team, rather throwing it at us in one out-of-continuity lump (cough-JLA-cough), but the Dark Knight will own the summer. He'll beat Indy, he'll beat Speed, and yeah, I'll say it, he'll beat Tony. Maybe that's because of Heath. Maybe it'll just be that good. I dunno, but my money's on Bats. Hulk does sound good, though.
I have a good feeling about this one by Antz	Jun 5th, 2008 03:44:58 AM
...well better than the "Other" one, but I kind of liked the first 2/3rds of the other one.
I won't believe till I read Harry's review by BenBraddock	Jun 5th, 2008 03:47:06 AM
sarcasm
I'm concerned about the fact by barnaby jones	Jun 5th, 2008 03:50:01 AM
that these guys are saying it's not as good as Iron Man, when really any level headed movie fan will tell you it's a solid 3 star movie. Still i'm holding out hope.
"I won't believe till I read Harry's review" by random dude	Jun 5th, 2008 03:53:55 AM
AAAHHHHHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHA. Funny shit wipes tears

Forget the thin plot? by Outlaw	Jun 5th, 2008 04:19:57 AM
A good story being balanced by good action are pretty important to the success of comic book movies, last I heard! I'm going into this one with low expectations, but so far it looks like a ho-hum action movie!
I´ll see the movie for the actors by CuervoJones	Jun 5th, 2008 04:20:29 AM
But i don´t shiver with anticipation.
I LIKE HAYDEN CHIRSTIANSE AS THOR by TOTEFA	Jun 5th, 2008 04:25:49 AM
WITH A LOT OF MORE MUSCLE AND THE HELMET ALWAYS ON
I LIKE WES BENTLEY AS ANT-MAN by TOTEFA	Jun 5th, 2008 04:29:23 AM

The Human Burrito is definately a plant. by smackfu	Jun 5th, 2008 04:30:55 AM
For one thing, real reader reviews don't start off by telling you when the movie hits the theatres. Secondly, his whole review smacks of a used car salesman's pitch. the crap CGI not being mentioned is not indicitive of anything in the other 2 reviews though. Honestly, every time I see clips of the film, I immediately notice how cartoony Hulk looks, but then immediately chastize myself due to the fact that well...Hulk looking 'real' was never an expectation when reading the comics, or watching cartoons. I figure I'm going to be watching this from the perspective of 'this is the most realistic Hulk cartoon made to date' rather than 'this 10ft tall green skinned man with a fundamentally unrealistic look to begin with, does not look realistic'. I know what a green skinned mr universe in purple shorts look like. Lou Ferrigno. Any attempt to make Hulk actaully look realistic would make him look 100x more absurd than he does in CGI cartoon form. Just count your blessings it's not Nicholas Cage painted green in a black leather trenchcoat fighting a mechanical spider.

Thank God. by Knuckleduster	Jun 5th, 2008 04:43:28 AM
One step closer to The Avengers, baby! Now, if only DC/Warner would wake the fuck up.
Yeah, I'm definitely a plant.... by TheHumanBurrito	Jun 5th, 2008 04:46:45 AM
...because plants start off by telling you why you should avoid the movie. Dumbass.
So how much of the action have we seen in the trailers? by redtom	Jun 5th, 2008 04:50:03 AM
Some? All?
These aren't plants by barnaby jones	Jun 5th, 2008 04:51:18 AM
They're reviews from Harry's screening aren't they ??
"how much of the action" by TheHumanBurrito	Jun 5th, 2008 04:54:28 AM
My review came from the Austin screening, not sure about the rest of them. Redtom:You've seen tiny bits of all the action scenes in the trailers, but I promise you that you didn't see anywhere NEAR "the whole thing". Every action scene is densely packed! Reason that I'm a plant #2:I insulted the lead actress and her "talent". Totally plant behavior, right?
I am a big film and comic book fan by bender7	Jun 5th, 2008 05:02:57 AM
But these reviews where people have 'tears in their eyes' at things like seeing Indy on screen again, or the The Hulk transforming weird me out. Anyway this looks pretty good
James Marsden would make a good Cap.. by Lemming	Jun 5th, 2008 05:07:16 AM
..would be a nice little fuck you to whoever holds the rights to the X-men franchise as well...
Lemming by BenBraddock	Jun 5th, 2008 05:19:38 AM
Agreed!
Thor as part of the Avengers by cripeman	Jun 5th, 2008 05:26:31 AM
Stark Industries is a huge weapons manufacturer. Banner gets doused by gamma radiation as a result of a military gamma bomb test. Steve Rogers is a injected with the super soldier serum. Thor comes from Norse Heaven. I can't wait to see how they fit these guys together for an Avengers movie.
New York Screening by rjl1138	Jun 5th, 2008 06:08:30 AM
My review (third one down) was from a New York screening last night, not Harry's screening. Crowd was reacting well apart from annoying sods behind me who talked all the way through the movie. Anyway, the review was cross posted over at my blog http://comicbycomic.blogspot.c om/ I'm not a plant but I'm not averse to pimpin'!
shia labouf as rick jones by bacci40	Jun 5th, 2008 06:20:02 AM
only this time, the hulk doesnt see him as a pal, and rips his friggin head off
gotham_night: caring about the characters by rjl1138	Jun 5th, 2008 06:26:22 AM
You're right about why Iron Man worked: you give a shit about Tony Stark. This works because you give a shit about Bruce Banner. Ed Norton used to be touted as the Greatest Actor of His Generation (TM) before he went and did shit like The Illusionist. This isn't going to get him any oscars and its a lot more subdued and subtle than Downey's performance, but he's still pretty fucking good. Can't wait to see Downey and Norton exchanging tech speak as they try to design stuff.
@cripeman. My money on Thor being the spirit of the Hammer. by Damien Chowder	Jun 5th, 2008 06:31:11 AM
An everyday Joe will find the hammer and there we go. I could watch a true to comic film but nobody caters for original readers.
"there are a few shots where you kind of get pulled out of the m by Trazadone	Jun 5th, 2008 06:34:54 AM

8 secret cameo spottings by geraldbeans	Jun 5th, 2008 07:02:16 AM
that 3rd reviewer, with his 8 different secret cameo spottings, had absolutely nothing to do with the producion of this film. none at all. because any average audience member is going to spot all those on the fly and then remember them to put in a list later.
So why not a SHIELD Movie? by j2talk	Jun 5th, 2008 07:10:40 AM
so has more film projects lined up, why not a SHIELD movie? The GI JOE Film stills showed that Blackbody suits can work...SHIELD could be done as a modern spy film ala Casino Royale-Great Film, just (Sorry People)-Craig isnt Bond
i didn't like iron man by geraldbeans	Jun 5th, 2008 07:12:32 AM
that movie sucked. and yes, the beginning did go on for waaaay too long. and no, I don't like Michael Bay movies. I actually like slow films. but not films that slowly do nothing. The slowness has to serve a point. He's making a suit. we fucking get it. he's still making the suit. we fucking get it. so drawn out. they could've put so much more action in that movie. oh, and the action was pretty basic in that film. why did people like iron man again?
Will it do better than the original? by stvnhthr	Jun 5th, 2008 07:13:37 AM
I think the main thing that got audiences into theatres to see the first one was the leaked work print online. It showed enough promise and some truly great cgi to get people excited. Without that going for this version I'm afraid people will stay home.
if you liked Iron Man, you should like this by Magic Rat	Jun 5th, 2008 07:35:53 AM
there's no reason not to, I get the same vibe. Both cast A-list actors in their roles as the main characters. I'm getting the same vibe from this movie as I got from Iron Man. BTW, my fiancee loved Iron Man and I'm sure she'll love this too.
I am THOR!!!!! by Yeti	Jun 5th, 2008 07:38:28 AM
Well...it HURTS.
Box office trackers are showing a $50-60 Milion opening by bingcrosbyb	Jun 5th, 2008 07:39:09 AM
and I think they are on track for Hulk. Plus, they say "The Happening" is going to bomb hard. And by hard, I mean mean $12-15 million opening weekend.
But, am I going to COME? by Abominable Snowcone	Jun 5th, 2008 07:52:16 AM
I'm not super-hyped for Hulk, but I'll go see it. Sure.
geraldbeans - fair point - by rjl1138	Jun 5th, 2008 07:53:15 AM
- on the list I put in there. But it was originally written for my blog and I'm a comic geek. Wish I did have something to do with the production of the film because I'd be patting myself on the back right now instead of working the day job.
Box office wise by tomdolan04	Jun 5th, 2008 07:56:04 AM
I reckon a third behind Indy and Iron, but not by a great amount.
I don't think I'll get to see this one opening weekend. by rev_skarekroe	Jun 5th, 2008 07:56:22 AM
Which is probably fine, because the opening weekend middle-school idiots ruined much of Indiana Jones for me.
I want to see it but... man Anal Lee's verion really sucked. by wowsucks	Jun 5th, 2008 08:01:17 AM
After that crap Anal Lee put out man its tough to separate even a quarter for the chances of that shit again. I believe this will be better but still that last one left such a bad taste.
Question for anyone who saw it: by mrfan	Jun 5th, 2008 08:02:45 AM
Is there a small bit after the credits? Haven't heard anything about it.
CGI gophers = Face on HK by Motoko Kusanagi	Jun 5th, 2008 08:04:59 AM
That's all that matters.
Phew! by Series7	Jun 5th, 2008 08:07:48 AM
I was worried about reading too many spoliers. Luckily though the spoilers were more of a warrning. There is a new Rob Schneider movie coming out soon! Better go stock up on twinkies and canned goods because thats always a sign that the end is near.
she's no Jennifer Connelly but who is? by Wee Willie	Jun 5th, 2008 08:07:50 AM
Um... Jennifer Connelly is.
mrfan - after the credits... by rjl1138	Jun 5th, 2008 08:09:12 AM
...there's nothing. Unless they shift the Downey Jr/Hurt scene there for main release in a week but I think that's a bit late now.
The biggest question everyone has by Abominable Snowcone	Jun 5th, 2008 08:12:04 AM
and still unanswered, is does Liv Tyler get NUDE SUPINE AKIMBO?
Thanks rjl1138... by mrfan	Jun 5th, 2008 08:12:58 AM
for the reply. I like those bits but if the movie is done then I like to get out of there. Looking forward to seeing this. I like the Hulk. Hope it is a good movie.
Marvel, start X-Men over! by Judge Briggs	Jun 5th, 2008 08:14:19 AM
Please, please start the X-Men series over... fucking waste that last one was... not to see the sentinels and fully realize the full word of X-Men makes ABSOLUTELY no fucking sense both financially and creatively... and keep that asshole Ratner away from it...! Blurgh!

What's so good about Iron Man? by Sithdan	Jun 5th, 2008 08:35:55 AM
Exactly what was so great about this film? It's just your standard run-of-the-mill comic book flick.
"HULK SMASH!!!!" by Gihaadwarts	Jun 5th, 2008 08:36:46 AM
I can't wait to see this, I have been scowering the movie sites and 99% are possitive reviews, MARVEL KEEP EM COMING!
CheriBomb? by DocPazuzu	Jun 5th, 2008 08:47:50 AM
More like CherryTree. Seriously: "It's a fun action-packed thrill ride that will make you believe that Bruce Banner really does change into the Hulk when he's angry. I can't wait to see this one again on opening weekend with my friends and family. They're going to love it!" Greener than the fucking Hulk.
Iron Man was good, this may be good too, but.... by Cletus Van Damme	Jun 5th, 2008 08:50:56 AM
...there can be only one. That "one" this summer is The Dark Knight.
What if both Iron Man and Hulk are pretty good.... by bingcrosbyb	Jun 5th, 2008 08:54:54 AM
but the Dark Knight blows? Talk about the twilight zone...

Judge Briggs, its called a reboot... by Gatsbys West Egg Omlet	Jun 5th, 2008 09:06:41 AM
and yeah, X-Men could use one. but i think MARVEL sold the rights.
Sithdan by hank henshaw	Jun 5th, 2008 09:09:49 AM
Iron Man was an ok movie, that had a very fun performance (no brooding) from a great actor like Robert Downey Jr. I think that's the reason why it is superior to the Spiderman movies, X-Men et al. Now, for some reason I'm not surprised Hulk is getting glowing reviews here.
i'll ask this here, too. by Gatsbys West Egg Omlet	Jun 5th, 2008 09:13:32 AM
what happens when all these leads end up in the same movie and MARVEL can't afford to pay them all? Norton, Downey Jr, Sam Jackson, and whoever big name dudes they get to play Cap, Thor, and all these other parts. Thats like the cast of Oceans 11, in a comic movie. Thats a lot of money being dropped on actors. Will the effects be shorted? will the story, because you have to give each of them equal screen time? believe me, i'm as stoked as anyone (well, maybe not as stoked as Harry) to see a fleshed out, cohesive MARVEL U on film, but thinking about the logistics of it all kind of scares me.
Don't Pirate It! by Klytus_I.m_Bored	Jun 5th, 2008 09:17:26 AM
That REALLY makes this guy sound like a plant. That's like Bush telling the Iraqis to not burn their oil fields.
Its funny by JulesVega	Jun 5th, 2008 09:22:35 AM
I am not looking forward to the Hulk but I just think its funny that on this site when someone writes a decent review for a movie that people expect and hope to be good everyone gets very excited but when people write good reviews for a movie everyone expects to be bad the reviewer is labeled as a plant. Just something i've taken note of.
JulesVega by Gatsbys West Egg Omlet	Jun 5th, 2008 09:28:45 AM
its because its fashionable to be pessimistic and bitter.
Norton, Downey Jr, Sam Jackson... by tomdolan04	Jun 5th, 2008 09:30:49 AM
If it's a quality product, and I may be being naieve here, I think the people they're getting into this new breed of Marvel flick actually are doing it because they have a caring for the material (as well as naturally an interest in a healthy payday). Listening to Downey and Norton esp in interview, they seem to have a genuine enthusiasm that is rubbing off on the quality of the movie. Likewise (unrelatedly) Bale appears to be enjoying the Batman project with Nolan. Sure the logistics is a practical and large concern, but perhaps not as much as it used to be for this kind of film. In the same way the principles took a cut to appear in Oceans, hopefully the same will happen here (although i realise the circumstances are very different)
could Batman beat the Incredible Hulk in a fight by Magic Rat	Jun 5th, 2008 09:35:05 AM
that's what I want to know.
tomdolan04 by Gatsbys West Egg Omlet	Jun 5th, 2008 09:35:25 AM
i would love for that to be true. it would be cool if people put their egos on hold and let the story drive their involvement, not their paycheck or their agent. fingers crossed.
And also... by tomdolan04	Jun 5th, 2008 09:35:52 AM
they don't look bored in the movie! I loved Spidey 2 like most other peeps, but in that to an extent and definitely in 3 he was going through the motions to such a degree it was embarassing.
Maguire obviously, but Dunst too by tomdolan04	Jun 5th, 2008 09:36:54 AM

No single film ends anyones career. by knowthyself	Jun 5th, 2008 09:45:42 AM
As dramatically as anyone at AICN wants that to be. Lady in the Water didn't end his career. Shymalan live to direct another day. Plus R rated horror is doing pretty well this summer. It truly is the summer for films that attract an adult audience.
and the Iron Man cameo... by knowthyself	Jun 5th, 2008 09:48:36 AM
..isn't all that. Saw it at the NYCC.

Reason why Tony Stark cameo before credits by messi	Jun 5th, 2008 10:26:29 AM
Marvel realized that just about nobody but fans who already know about the avengers stayed back after Iron Man. pretty dumb idea to put that Nick Fury cameo after the end, should have been just after the credits started and then cut off then go back.
Glad to here Norton, Roth and Hurt are bringing by CrichtonAstronut	Jun 5th, 2008 10:34:53 AM
their A game. Sound good to me.
Proves Avi Arad is a cunt and Kevin Feige is the dude in charge by messi	Jun 5th, 2008 10:46:04 AM
Avi Arad is just a businessman who has no soul, he gives not one shit, every franchise outside of marvel studios needs to be rebooted because it isn't completely true, all this bullshit from him about characterization being important in spidey, what characterization? that is not peter parker or spidey not is it mary jane. and all this bullshit about tobey maguire being in cider house rules, who gives a shit, he failed as peter parker.
Thor's Norse Heaven by zinc_chameleon	Jun 5th, 2008 10:46:39 AM
Is explained in quantum physics terms in A.A. Attanasio's 'The Dragon and the Unicorn'. Yggdrasil, which Gods don't like iron, the works. Makes me wish I'd paid more attention in the physics lab.

Solid entry into developing Marvel film universe. by earl of sandwich	Jun 5th, 2008 10:51:30 AM
I saw it, and most of the reviews are pretty spot on. Roth is solid, Hurt is reigned in hammy, Tyler makes me wonder where her elf ears were the whole time (she really does whisper every damn line) and Norton was great. I always ssem to forget where the hype around him comes from, until I see him on screen. He really does have a unique presence (maybe it's just his super cool voice, rewatch Kingdom of Heaven if you doubt me), but he does make you empathise with a "normal" man dealing with an unspeakable power lurking inside that he wants to be rid of. And he does it much better than Bana did (no disrepect to Eric Bana). The CGI fine, and by fine I re-iterate what countless others have said. We all have a pretty good idea what a guy in a red, black, or blue would look like bombing around in. Hulk is really the only super hero to have non human proportions, and DOES look a little weird. You know why, cause he's 8 fucking feet tall and 6 fucking feet wide of solid green muscle! As for the end bit with Stark & Thunderbolt, if you have any attachement to the Marvel Universe (and I wholeheartly do) you cannot be anything but geeked at what they are laying the ground work for. Suck on that Warner/DC.

Warner Bros hit back with the Gay directed Green Lantern by messi	Jun 5th, 2008 11:12:41 AM
Cos that's what their most potential franchise with DC's manliest hero needs. A director who made an awful gay romantic comedy and who adds gay into every pansy show he does. Hey Bryan Singer was gay when he made X-men but he didn't try to put gay elements into everything he did and he had the usual suspects on his resume, not the broken hearts club. Greg Berlanti directing Green Lantern is like Michael Bay directing Sex and the city.
WB has Green Lantern, the new Star Wars and they decide by messi	Jun 5th, 2008 11:14:48 AM
to give it to the showrunner of Brothers and Sisters and the director of The broken hearts club starring Dean Cain. Fucking Idiots. GIVE IT TO SPIELBERG, CAMERON OR RIDLEY SCOTT! AND FOR FUCKS SAKE HIRE GEOFF JOHNS TO WRITE IT! He's the only one who has ever made Hal Jordan interesting and you hire Marc Guggenheim, who doesn't even write decent comics? Fucking fucking hell.
Hulk can't mess with Bat-suit-nips by Heckles	Jun 5th, 2008 11:44:36 AM
I just hope there is an Elektra cameo. Garner needs to show off that fat ass.
Stan Lee Cameo by The Funketeer	Jun 5th, 2008 11:49:36 AM
You though Willie Lumpkin was embarassing? The FF cameos were his best since they had him playing an actual character from the book and in the second one, the same damn part he played in the book when Sue and Reed got married. Embarassing indeed.
This will be better than Iron Man. by thebearovingian	Jun 5th, 2008 12:01:18 PM
At least I hope so. Iron Man was a bit limp. Ouch!

i saw this post and decided to read it first because harry's a crazy geek that cant be trusted...then harry admitted he's a crazy geek that cant be trusted. Bravo, My friend.
harry did you not like my review from the NYC screening? by thareign23	Jun 5th, 2008 12:55:14 PM
common man I worked hard on it my girl was like god your such a nerd but I did it on my iPhone right after the movie was over in chipotle on 72nd. Well whatever the movie was awesome and it sets up the sequel and next villian better than any other movie , more subtle than the joker reference its something only comic fans probably will get sort of like the ten ring army references.
Iron Man was by Nabster	Jun 5th, 2008 01:16:11 PM
not that great. It was a solid comic book film at best, nothing beyond that. The love for Iron Man is a testament to the terrible summer films we have become used to watching.

Capt. America Idol by samurai sark	Jun 5th, 2008 02:13:52 PM
Wentworth Miller (Prison Break) Matt Damon Brendan Frasier is a risk (age). I'd rather see Eric Bana. I know, I know. But he was very much kicking ass in Blackhawk Down. And Sanoro, I'm with you. Aragon for Thor

I'd rather see Matthew McConaughey or Paul Walker as Cap. Assuming the first remembered how to act and the second learned...
oh, nice burn by samurai sark	Jun 5th, 2008 02:32:27 PM
Paul walkers got the look. but i worry abt a ww2fast2furious. McCounaghey I like.

Ironman was racist, sexist, pro-military fascism by s0nicdeathmonkey	Jun 5th, 2008 04:49:48 PM
but damn was it entertaining.
Iron Man and Hulk by RKO2285	Jun 5th, 2008 05:32:52 PM
Finally i'm not the only one that thought Iron Man was not the second coming.. like above posters have said it was an ok movie helped by Downey's awesome performance as stark... there really wasn't that much action in it and the orgin could have been shorter imo.... here's hoping that the hulk is as good as these reviews say...
Finally, people are seeing the light about Iron Man by barnaby jones	Jun 5th, 2008 05:42:56 PM
I wouldn't say it's bombed in the U.K, but the box office numbers haven't been huge, and probably more significantly, i don't know a single person who enjoyed it, all i hear is...meh..it was alright.
Ironman was racist, sexist, pro-military fascism? by classyfredblassy	Jun 5th, 2008 05:43:27 PM
I guess you liked it better if was anti-white, ant-manhood and pro-islamic terrorism? Yeah for beheadings!

Well Marvel is stupid for renewing the spidey rights by messi	Jun 5th, 2008 07:30:36 PM
that was one of the most asinine business decisions of recent times, why they didn't just opt to not renew the rights and take them back is beyond me.

Why do I still not care... by MJohnson	Jun 5th, 2008 08:03:41 PM
I think it's because the Hulk still looks like a big green computer generated graphic.
when is Downey's cameo? by waites	Jun 5th, 2008 08:53:52 PM

And stop bashing Iron Man! it was great!! Jesus... I cannot remember when I was so entertained. So ok. can someone answer my question?
Hulk will be great, & Iron Man was superb! by CeejayNightwing	Jun 5th, 2008 09:44:42 PM
I live in the UK and the film was a smash, everyone I know who saw it thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Two things going against the movie unfortunately that will mute its overseas box office is the "Americanism" of the whole thing, it's pretty much looks like a propaganda flick from the surface and when you add the fact that he's not a well known character like Batman, Superman or Spiderman then you realize most people simply won't discover this film until it hits home video. That in mind the movie has still managed to perform remarkably well and in the US it's still holding the 3rd spot after 5 weeks. - I wish people who nit-pick about CGI would just piss off, CGI is nothing but a tool just like Blue Screen, Model Work, Minatures etc. We grew up watching tons of fantasy and sci fi using theseold techniques that didn't look real but looked good enough to tell the story. CGI simply needs to do the same thing so I can't fathom where they suddenly got this bee in their bonnet about it needing to be perfect as hell in order for them to engage their imagination. Every whiny emo who goes on about the Hulks CGI needs to get of the "Perfection-expectation" bandwagon and step into the A.M! This movie will not Bomb simply because they want it to, the reviews will not all be damning simply because they expected it to. People who give it a thumbs up review are not all plants simply because they disagree with your assumption. And fans of Ang Lees Hulk need to understand, his movie was simply beneath the requisite of what people expected from a Hulk movie. Nobody cares about Hulks father or Banner's family abuse. It was a nice movie but it had very little punch and zero repeat viewing factor, in fact it put a lot of people to sleep. This movie is giving the people what they want, its not dumbed down, it simply is what its supposed to be in the first place. Well paced action and dramatic fantasy for all the family; not all the art house lovers!

So attributing him to anything remotely successful with this flick is wrong.
Green Lantern = New Star Wars? lewl by smackfu	Jun 6th, 2008 04:45:24 AM
Green Lantern pitch meeting: "There's this guy with a green hornet mask and a green suit with a picture of a lantern on it, just so you know...he's the guy you're supposed to be watching...anyway he has this ring, also with a lantern on it...you can see where I'm going here...and get this...he shoots stuff out of the ring...but not like lasers or missles...he shoots like...chairs, socket wrenches, whatever he needs at the time. Oh yeah, plus he can pick shit up with it and like...levitate it...or set it back down...whatever he wants."
