Action/Adventure
Bruce Banner, a fugitive hiding in Brazil tranforms into a huge, terrifing Hulk that tries to do good.
Ang Lee's previous take on the character was pretty sloppy and disliked by most people. With a pretty stupid origin (his father giving him an injection) one could expect more from Ang Lee. On June 13, 2008 people lined up to buy tickets to see Louis Leterrier's take on the character. Their expectations weren't very high because of the previous version and the bad preview. Most of them got more than they expected. Some got the same amount and some got less. It depends on what type of person you are to like the movie. If you worry to much about the script, acting and direction you may not like it but if you are a die-hard action fan who goes to see a movie for fun then you will. If you are a woman it depends, but according to the data on IMDB, woman over 40 will probably not like it.
The movie over all was fun and a good way to pass the 2 hours but it was not oscar- worthy for anything except possibly sound or sound effects. The visuals got a B because it was a good achievement but I wasn't really crazy about the way the Incredible Hulk looked and I didn't like the way the Abomination did at all. The handheld camera can make one dizzy but they couldn't have done it any other way! The screenplay wasn't fantastic neither was the direction but the story was very good. But one can't go to see a movie like the Hulk and worry about the screenplay!!!
The Incredible Hulk starts out and a science lab during the opening credits showing how Bruce Banner transforms into the Hulk. Banner then becomes a fugitive hiding in Brazil. He works at a factory and learns to speak Portuguese (making many mistakes, such as "Don't make me hungry. You wouldn't like me when I'm hungry!") and whilst working in the factory he cuts himself and the radioactive blood gets into a bottle and the man who drinks it (Stan Lee in one of his lovable cameos) becomes very sick. Then General Ross (William Hurt) sends his army to find Bruce Banner so he can get a sample of the blood. Banner then turns into the hulk and destroys everything. A confused fighter (Tim Roth) asks the general to help him become a hulk like thing and he does become an even more dangerous creature that is stronger and wiser than our incredible hulk!
Edward Norton probably wasn't the best choice for the Hulk and Eric Bana was probably a better choice, Norton did a decent job as Bruce Banner. Liv Tyler didn't have a fantastic acting performance for some reason and she could have done better. William Hurt was personally my favorite performer in this film and nailed the role he did and Tim Roth was a good Emil Blonsky.
The score could fit the mood of the movie with some dramatic music. Not too memorable or oscar- winning but it is not so bad.
Overall this movie was good. Not great but enjoyable. Some parts may be predictable becuase of the comics (of course) but the Hulk is the Hulk, not too bad, not too good.
He's back
Indiana Jones is back for a another classic adventure. This movie is funny,action packed,gripping,amazing roles and Harrison Ford has still got it. The story is good but I just didn't get the alien bit it was weird,this is truely amazing.
Stunning visual effects
This film is very good better than I expected,amazing CGI,some good action and a good story line with a great exciting battle at the end. Some of the roles where pretty good but some where bad but the ending is quite amazing.
his awesome awsomeness
I though this movie was really funny and cool acion sequences i was told hat i had to see this movie with my family even though i didnt want to but it turned out to be cool i really liked how jack black talked kinda like he talks now and this movie has lots of big names in it like jack black (school of rock)angelina jolie (mr/mrs smith) jackie chan (rush hour)micheal duncan clark (green mile) and alot others so if you like pandas or kung fu or even awesome awesomeness watch this movie
a film i underestimated
COOL when i went to see this film with my cousins i thought it was gonna be crappy because its a green dude who destroys things but it turned out to be a great film with solid acting and nice humour and action when the hulk got attacked by a small army i thought oh wow hes gonna killem all fast but it wasnt easy for him the army had many weapons and soldiers who hurt the hulk alot and the villian creepy but strong enough to almost beat and kill the hulk which i thought was better than the hulk not even being hurt at all i really liked it so i your a fan of the hulk watch it if your not a fan of the hulk still watch it i never liked the hulk that much but now i think hes a really good hero
The Transporter is about a man who transports things.
I liked that it had alot of action. The movies uses black arts. It has long fight scenes. The director did a great job. The storyline involves Jason Statham transporting men from a bank to a certain area. A woman gets kidnapped and put into his trunk.
HORRIBLE
oh my god is all i have to say...i havent seen a movie this bad since "starngers with candy" came out...wow...horrible...c'mon...this is suppose to be 23- 25years later...and its based in like the 70's with the characters from the movie "grease"!...and umm...whats up with the space ship...aliens...ummm c'omn...."SIGNS" WAS A GOOD MOVIE...beacause based on aliens...but ummm...why in this one?! oh god...thats all i have to say...i wanted to get up the first 10mins and leave if it wasent because my boyfriend said we might as well watch it and his face in his palm the whole time....ZZZzz
Robert Downey Jnr IS Iron Man
I was in two minds when I walked into the cinema to watch Iron Man. Firstly,
because The Girlfriend threatened to inject pepper spray into my eyeballs if the movie sucked, as she wanted to watch Sex and The City instead. Secondly, I remember the cartoon series from the nineties being pretty shitty, with other superhero cartoons like Spiderman and X-Men kicking it squarely in the balls. And thirdly, I noted that the movie was directed by Jon Favreau, best known for directing the kids' film Zathura, which I never watched, but understood to be pretty mediocre.
It was thus with great joy and relieved corneas then, that I can say that Iron Man is QUITE the enjoyable flick. Robert Downey Jnr is pretty f*cking good with his portrayal of the hero Tony Stark, who starts out being an immoral (but still likeable) shit, selling weapons of mass destruction and sleeping with lots of skanky women. During a demonstration in the Afghanistan, he is kidnapped by terrorists and is forced to build a metallic suit to break out of his prison, and from there the movie really takes off.
The rest of the cast are all pretty solid, with Gwyneth Paltrow, Terence Howard and Jeff Daniels ably supporting Downey Jnr. Apparently this film will be the first of a planned trilogy like Spiderman, and after smashing the box office in the States (it's currently well on it's way to making $300 million) I'm sure they will roll out the next film pretty quickly.
I'm not going to give away the rest of the plot, partly because I don't really want to spoil anything, but more importantly, because I've had a few Jamesons and can't really remember it now. I might remember it tomorrow morning when I wake up, but I'm not going to feel like rewriting this then. Take it from me, if you enjoyed the X-Men trilogy, thought Spiderman was okay, and thought The Incredible Hulk (with Eric Bana) was incredibly shit, then you will very likely enjoy Iron Man.
The cool thing about these films are that the special effects keep getting better and better. I was literally sitting there with a semi through the entire film, which I think made The Girlfriend, as well as the old woman sitting on my left, rather uncomfortable.
In summary, a good entertaining blockbuster to watch on the big screen.
The man himself returns and wants to get to the bottom of this crystal skull palava.
I want to be like Henry 'Indiana' Jones.
Ford, just as he did in the first three Indy films portrays a well kept, intrepid and above all cunning adventurer, the dream combination of wits and skill.
This man can do just about anything he likes with a bull whip while at the same time speak about 200 dead languages.And Indy doesn't hold back, whether it be using gun powder to trace a magnetic relic or drop an AK47 on the floor in such a way that he shoots a Russian in the foot, and he does it at ease.
"You don't know im! You don't know im!" screams Ray Winstone's character 'Mac' to one of Indy's foes during a game of chicken between two jeeps inside a military hangar.
This long awaited fourth adventure sees Indiana along with prodgical son 'Mutt' (It's a human being, not some sort of talented animal that George Lucas probably wanted to throw in there) delve into a South American jungle whilst at logger heads with the soviets trying to get to the bottom of what it is exactly the crystal skull they have on them can do. Amazing are some of the opening stunts and I never knew how handy a fridge during a nuclear wipe-out could be.
I'm not the naive 10 year old I was when the original Indy trilogy was put to me in the late nineties so like my grandad I was left saying to myself 'I ain't avin that' at some of the plot revelations and just a couple of the stunts. Like driving off a cliff and landing the vehicle on a branch, and it wasn't even Indiana who pulled that manoeuvre out of the bag.
Being a Brit, I enjoyed seeing Ray Winsone in there and have done a few impressions of him referring to Indiana as 'Jonesy' since seeing the film.
The magic, excitement and interest of the Indiana Jones we know and love is still there and so leads to quite an enjoyable cinema experience, but its needs something just a little bit more out of this world to create that feeling I got during Raiders.
And before I forget, John William's soundtrack still sends that little shiver down my spine.
Indiana pitted against the Communist Russians for Crystal Skull and UFO alien
Hope is High as the Movie opens to the Indy Theme. Indy is packed away in the trunk of a car by the Russians to force him
into a top Secret US Area where many items are stashed including an Alien Body... I kept expecting to see Fox Mulder and
Scully appear. From here he becomes more entangled with the same Russian agents as he goes on a very bazaar adventure
after the Crystal Skull. I can't fault Harrison Ford who does the best he can with the material he is handed but the
script is a rehash of too many previous ideas. It should have been original and intriguing and a new adventure worthy of
Indiana. On a good note the teenage boy does a good job and is convincing in his role. Acting was good the script was
not. Of the 4 Indiana Movies this is definitely my least favorite. If you truly love Harrison as Indy and go just to see him
preform then it is probably worth the price of admission. Otherwise pop in a DVD of any of the other three Indy Movies
and you will be way ahead and save yourself the price of admission. I am disappointed tonight after viewing this movie.
