Totally OT, but who has seen The Incredible Hulk?

[spinedoc]

I haven't seen the Hulk yet, but sad to see the M. Night bashing here. He's one of my favorites, and I actually liked the Happening. His characters are pretty cool, every one he has done has been pretty great imo. As far as the Avengers, isn't that the old dude in the bowler hat and umbrella with the hot chick, Mrs Peele or something? I never got into it, but I vaguely remember it.

The Hulk was pretty good, obviously way better than the previous version. I haven't seen Iron Man, but most who have seen both seem to tell me Iron Man was still better, with Hulk slightly behind. Both are the best Marvel movies yet.

But they'll both be eating crow when The Dark Knight comes out! Less than a month people! I gotta catch this one on IMAX.

As for The Happening, the problem with it is that they did a poor job marketing it as what it was, A B MOVIE. M. Night has come out and said that this was suppose to be the "best B movie ever". So he knew it was ridiculous, I mean c'mon, making the wind haunting? I haven't seen it, because I've heard such bad reviews, after I was so pumped since I heard what it was about two years ago. Having said that, I hear Mark Wahlberg gives one of the worst acting performances...ever.

I still like MNS though, his movies are generally good. The Sixth Sense was great, and despite Scholarly being able to know Bruce was a ghost, I think 90% or better never saw it coming. And if you can shock your crowd that much, you've done a great job.

I think Signs was great, most hated it. I thought it was cool. A little gay with the water thing, but still interesting. I liked how everything had a reason, put a nice little religious spin on things, though kind of sick to suggest his wife's death was so she'd say "swing away Meryl", or however the hell his name is spelled.

Unbreakable (not Invincible, lol, that's Marky Mark's football movie), was awesome! I saw it coming for a while, but still I loved the idea of a super hero amongst us like that. I also loved how they explained it, if there's one person with unbelievably brittle bones, there must be someone with incredibly dense and strong bones.

The Village was ok, didn't really like the twist but whatever.

Lady In the Water was ok, most people hated on it cause there wasn't a huge twist (besides Reggie, lol). But you have to take it for what it is, a story that M Night developed from telling his kids bedtime stories, so that's basically what it was, a bed time story on screen.

I'll wait till later to see The Happening, too many other good movies I want to see to waste $7-9 on a ticket.

For what it is worth, DON'T see The Happening. Awful. Simply awful. Waste of time and money.

I agree with most all of that also accept i really liked the village lol. But ya this movie wont prevent me from seeing more MNS movies

I thought he was the best part of the movie actually. He was very funny in it in parts. Different strokes for different folks I suppose.

Hulk is definitely worth seeing imo. Way better than the previous

nah, Wahlberg playing a nice guy just screams "i'm pretending to be a nice guy!! that's why i'm talking in this hushed, whisper type voice, because that's what i think nice guys do"

haha. don't get me wrong, Wahlberg is totally one of my favourite actors. but for him to have succeeded in this role he needed to have a yin and yang between his sarcastic, bitter edge that you see in Departed, and his dry, nice guy approach that he had all through the Happening (and Big Hit).


Willis, i'm not sold on the whole "i tried to make a great B-Movie" line that MNS is putting out. i think he made a crap movie and then pulled that card out as a last resort. because the secret to a good B-movie is big, hammed up performances. you didn't see many of these at all really. he tried to keep it all too "realistic" in terms of character reactions. at least, if he DID try to make it a B-movie, he even failed at that.

if you want to see the greatest B-Movie, watch Planet Terror. THAT is a brilliant B-Movie. the Happening, no.

I saw Hulk a week or so ago, and I liked it a lot better this time around...although Liv Tyler was nothing more than eye candy. She could have been used better. What can you say about edward Norton...he's one of the best actors around now, along with The Dark Knight's Christian Bale...it's a testament to Marvel and DC that these actors are willing to step into these films. Loved Tim Roth as the Abomination, although part of me expected Samuel L. Jackson to show up and tell him he wanted his wallet back.

This wasn't the best comic book film this year, The Dark Knight will take that no question in 3 weeks, Iron Man was better too, but Marvel did a good job making us forget that mess that Ang Lee did in 2003.

I agree with alot of what people have said about the hulk (and other movies)!

I wasn't necessarily bashing Night, just stating my opinion of his films. I liked 6th sense, I just knew he was dead. Give it to the kid he did a great job of acting(if you watch it again the kid looks like he's soiling himself the 1st couple times Bruce Willis shows up as his "case worker"). I know alot of people didn't get it the 1st time around, my Mom said that there was some ladies walking out of the theater stating they still didn't understand it when it was over! LOL

Unbreakable not invincible again was one of my faves for him. The rest of the films... MEH.

I can still remember Alien Nation, and the ending of Signs just seemed trite because of it... At least they used saltwater in Alien Nation! The rest of the movie I thought was great and even suspensful. So when the alien's were busting into the house for like 2 minutes and then disappeared it was like what happened? Oh someone hit them with a water hose?!???


And Batman (The Dark Knight) will absolutely blow them all away!
I'm a little apprehensive about the Joker as I know this will be the defining film for Heath Ledger. I hear he nails it, but in none of the previews do you see him laughing, or even jovial... Plus his predecessor was THE Jack Nicholson so...
Still I hope it's his best film ever and he gets an Oscar for it. RIP Heath

Edit:
Okay so I read my first post and I was bashing a little...

Sorry guys! Just my opinion is all...
