Does The Incredible Hulk Smash With his Left fist or right?

[H.P. Huey]

IFYPFY.

Did anyone here have watched it? How did they manage to butcher it?

Eh, I was bored n' itchy, so I went. Not bad at all, assuming you gave
a shit to begin with. I still retain 15& of A Shit.

The deal is simple enough; after numerous abortions over the years,
Marvel plopped half a BILLION bucks on the table and set up their own
production company. They have a formula and it works. You can all but
SEE the apportionment of actor's fees, location shots, custom hardware
and CGI. Its like a big ol' pie. That has good and bad aspects. They're
succeeding because you can watch any of the recent flicks flat-footed
and they're still coherent as stand-alones for non-fanboys. If you are
one, they throw in several nice referential bones, but they're great
popcorn burners, to be seen once when its new and 3 years later when you
want to see those particular explosions again. There is no 3rd viewing
necessary, capice?

This one hewed to the comic well, so the plot remained appropriately
thin. The pacing is good, with just a couple of slightly overlong bits.
They present the Hulk as a guy with a medical problem as much as a
monster, so it plays better. Its a pleasure to see it shown that he and
Banner are both trying to deal with being SO FUCKED, WITH BOOTS ON.
That's the only thing that makes the silly basic tale any fun. Liv Tyler
and William Hurt help make it classier, although no one's skills as a
thespian are exactly strained in these things. The CGI bits are real
pulse-pounders; they actually show the juicy RAGE, which no one has ever
made so gritty previously. You wanna see the Hulk tear a taxi in half
and use the 2 pieces as boxing gloves? This is the flick for you. If
this image and one enticing shot of Tyler-thigh don't grab you, stay
home and masturbate to the image of the She-Hulk licking honey from your
no-no spots.

He was REALLY FUCKING GOOD in "Smoochy"! My estimation of him went way up
'cause of that role.

Actually, I liked him a lot in that role. He took it seriously and
gave us a guy who was believable -- yeah, very eccentric, but
dedicated to his career and the kids, and NOT an idiot.

I still hate Barney, tho.

How dare you diss such a fine film. Actually, its pretty funny because
its totally queer in the classic meaning of the word. Its like the
slapstick opposite of "Eraserhead."

I imagine a lot of actors do comic-book flicks because its a cakewalk
and a relatively easy paycheck, unless you are caged up in some latex
costume rigging. Its akin to "She runs the gamut of emotions from A to
B," as Dorothy Parker said of Katharine Hepburn. You just can't apply
the same standards of acting when its the effin' Hulk. Its not serious
cin-ee-mah; its all about the popcorn. However, all Liv Tyler has to do
is stand there and look moist, which is a nice plus.
