As a kid, I remember watching a t.v. show called the Hulk. You see back then, the original Hulk was played by Lou Ferrigno. Since then there have two different movies made based off the show called The Hulk and The Incredible Hulk. Todays topic will be based off the most recent movie of the Hulk staring Edward Norton as Bruce Banner/The Hulk, Liv Tyler as Betty or Elizabeth Ross, William Hurt as the General/Thunderbolt Ross, and Tim Roth as the Abomination. There's also one more cast memer that makes a short appearance but still plays a very important part. In the moviewe know him as, "Mr. Blue," a.k.a Dr. Samuel Sterns, played by Tim Blake Nelson. Now, let's go back to the first Hulk. Bruce Banner/Hulk was played by Eric Bana, Betty Ross was played by Jennifer Connelly, and Thunderbolt Ross was played by Sam Elliott. Take a moment and think, in the first Hulk, Banner had his father, Brian Banner, who was played by Nick Nolte. Before I bore you with names, let's get started on the review.
LET'S TALK MOVIES
This vergin of the Hulk is my favorite, however, after watching both of them, I'm a little confused. Why, you ask? Because if you remember the first one, Bruce Banner's father was the scientist who developed the serum that made the Hulk and was injecting Bruce with it since he was a kid. Now think about the most recent vergin of the movie. Bruce Banner is the Scientist who developes the serum and injects it into himself. So which one is the correct one? Honestly, I really don't care, both movies made it a good story.
I did enjoy how at the beginning of the movie, they show you why Bruce ran. Showing him in the Laboratory chair, strapped in and ready for transformation. However, turning into this giant green monster isn't what he was going for. Bruce managed to stay off the grid for about two to three years, working for a factory without being on payroll, at least until his lood ended up inside of a one of the soda bottles. One of my favorite parts in this movie was when Bruce was trying to help his female co-worker. Bruce Banner is known for his "Anger," that's how he becomes the Hulk. With his heart rate reaching 200 plus, he becomes the big GREEN monster. However, it's the line he says before he changes that gets me everytime, "Don't make me angery. You wouldn't like me when I'm angery." In the movie when he trys to say the famous line, but he has to say it in Portuguese. With Bruce not being very fluent in Portuguese language, it comes out wrong.
"Nao faca de mim com fome. Voce nao teria como eu quando estou com fome. Wait, that's not right."
In English language, that reads,
"Don't make me hungry. You wouldn't like me when I'm hungry."
Funny right? That scene cracks me up everytime.
Later in the movie, the General, a.k.a Thunderbolt Ross, finds a very motivated man whom he believes will finally help bring down the Hulk. Emil Blonsky, a.k. The Abomination, however,his motivation to bring down the Hulk got the best of him. Blonsky also went to see "Mr. Blue," that is of course after he tracted down Bruce and Betty. Not caring what happens to himself, Blonsky threatens Dr. Samuel Sterns to make him like Bruce. Once that happened, things got a little crazy. Now, if you've seen the movie, Blonsky doesn't turn green, no, just plain old ugly. However, he does become a lot more faster and a lot stronger than Hulk. In fact, Blonsky became something more, something that the General himself couldn't handle nor take down. At least not without Bruce Banner's help. Blonsky's goal was to bring down the Hulk and he did......Well, almost. When you get Bruce really mad, no one can stop hime, not even the Abomination. Not to say that the Hulk can't be defeated, just saying it will be very difficult. Let's just say he will put up a hell of a fight.
If I haven't stressed it enough already, I love action packed movies. I will have to admit, there probably could have been a little more action. However, with the way the plot was put together, there was plenty of action for me. I mean think about it, you had the scene in the factory, which by the way, did anybody realize that was the first time "The Hulk" spoke? Then you had the scene at the school, very awesome. Then the scene in the streets with the "Abomination" which ended on a roof top. You gotta love the huge hand clap. In my Hulk voice, "Hulk Smash!!" Although he doesn't say that in the movie, it's still one of my favorite lines from him. Now, with all that eing said, until Hollywood finds a way to screw up a Hulk Movie, this one gets 4 1/2 stars. As if they could screw up such a movie....Ha! Ha! Ha (Serious look, narrowing my eye). That's all for now but stay put cause there's plenty more where that came from. Also, rumor has it, the Incredible Hulk 2 (or 3, which ever they decide to go with) should be coming out near the end of 2014 or sometime in 2015. I don't know about you, but I'm a Hulk fan and I plan on seeing that one as well. Until next time my Marvel Fans...........
