Darth Groovy Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 I been reading reviews all day, and most critics are unanimous, despite some decent acting, The Hulk looks silly, and the story is barely enough to hold the attention of another T.V. Pilot. Consider this Marvel's first flop since The Punisher. Hopefully, this will not hamper future releases like The Punisher.

KBell Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 wow, thats pretty bad. But I think the Hype will carry the Movie to atleast a number 2 spot this week. I mean, I STILL wanna see why people wont like him when he's mad
Agen Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 Meh, i don't see why there are anti-hulk vibes going around (not tlaknig about the reviews)
MaulerZ Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 despite what critics say im gonna see it there have been countless times where the critics rant about a sucky movie i goto see it and....end up liking it
Darth Groovy Posted June 20, 2003 Author Posted June 20, 2003 I am not trying to spread any anti- anything vibes around. I was hoping it would be good, I had bad feelings about X-Men, Spiderman,and Daredevil, but those all turned out to be pretty good films. The Hulk trailers have made him look pretty silly, (yes even sillier than Lou Ferigno in green make up and a fright wig...). And most critics are saying that is one of the worst things about the movie. One local critic refered to him as the "Unjolly Green Giant". I mean, it's cool that Hollywood is on a comic kick lately, but for Christ's sakes do it right!
Sivy Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 i must admit that when i first saw the trailer i thought that it looked really cartoony. and from seeing new trailers it really does look like thats the case. i had a feeling that critics would pick up on that. as always i reserve jugdement until i've actually seen it. and i am still going to see it.
Darth Groovy Posted June 20, 2003 Author Posted June 20, 2003 I may just rent it. Nothing annoys me more than paying $7.50 for a movie and leaving with that discusted feeling. That pretty much sums up the way I felt when I saw Spawn, and even though critics panned that one too, I had to see it for myself being a fan and all.
ckcsaber Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 Meh, I have heard so-so reviews, but I never trust em' anyways. If a movie looks interesting, I'll watch it.
Tesla Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 Well personally im not gonna watch it because quite frankly watching a 15 ft green man going mental for 2hrs isn't my idea of a good time ,but this is IMO
Boba Rhett Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 Right now it's sitting at a 65% at Rottentomatoes.com. I hope it doesn't go any lower. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/Hulk-1123219/
mariners2001 Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 there's no way it won't be #1 in the box office and will probably make at least $150 mil altogether so I don't think it'll be a huge flop. those reviews aren't exactly the most reliable sources either. it won't be another spider-man but i think it'll be good. ang lee kicks ass.
Rogue Nine Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 The video game is fun as hell though. I was in EBX for a good hour, playing it on the PS2, periodically screaming "Hulk SMASH!!!!!".
RoguePhotonic Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 [edit:bill please dont mention things like that on our forums] only thing I thought was kinda stupid is how high and far he can jump....sure his muscles are more radical but ****...jump like 300 feet in the air and like 3 miles?
Antilles_CL Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 Hmmm, well since I live on a military base onver here in Italy, we get the movies later than you all in the states, but ours are free. So I can't wait to see this, even if it is bad. Hey it's free.

That's comic book Hulk Jumping. It's from the comics and put in the movie.........Complain to Stan Lee if you wish I am going to see it tomorrow night, at my theaters late show, and then I will leave the theater and head to Walmart and stake out a spot so I can buy HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHEONIX!!!

Daredevil was a terrible, terrible film, and that did okay commercially.
BawBag™ Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 Originally posted by Carl Shutt Daredevil was a terrible, terrible film, and that did okay commercially. *nods* Uh-Huh. this guy's on to something.
C'jais Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 Meh. Ok, so it turned out to be A Bad Movie. Anyone surprised? Howzabout Terminator 3, you people think that'll be good as well? Meh, again.
HertogJan Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 T3?? Dunno, I don't expect too much of it, but hope it'll be good, since T1 & T2 were really great movies!!
BCanr2d2 Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 So, finally one movie that is based on a cartoon character that goes and stays true to the CARTOON, and not humanise the story in the movie, everyone wants to bag it.... If they want to try something original and keep it in the cartoon style for the movie, good for them, helps to distinguish it from the other movies out there. The Hulk will make plenty, but don't expect all of it to be from the Box Office, there is plenty of merchandising. Currently, according the the Marvel CEO it is doing better merchandise-wise that Spiderman at the same time....
acdcfanbill Posted June 21, 2003 Posted June 21, 2003 yea, and if it went a different direction than teh comic, ala spiderman and his webshooters, then everyone complains about that! you just cant win.
