So this is a just a little roundup of movies that are making the rounds or on the horizon. Im feeling a little frustrated though at being being n00bs. I understand that people have their own opinions on films, but if they are just plain stupid, i take great offence. for example, i posted a comment on firstshowing about the Inc Hulk review:
I saw this yesterday on the previews, and i was looking forward to this.
I agree with the sentiment that the storty and characters were subdued a little. I didnt get the feeling blonksy was “pissed off”, or that Betty really hated the general. The Humour was interesting, didnt really click, althoght there werent that many people in the cinema at the time. I loved Ferigno and stan lee’s, and RDJ cameos. Liv tyler didnre really do it for me, i seem to remember Jennifer connolly being a stronger betty.
the first encounter was well done and really brought it home, keeping hulk in the shadows before he lets loose. The Action scenes were mind blowing, esp the final battle.
My opinion, not as good as Iron Man, (MUCH BETTER than Ang lee’s version)but still worth a look.
And heres someones elses comment. Notice how its similar yet different.
Awesome flick! Loved the story and execution of the plot. Director Louis Leterrier has proven he’s to “The Hulk” what Jon Favreau is to “Iron Man”. Even the subtle homage to the TV series was fitting. Norton was spot on. It was great to see Lou Ferrigno in fine form on the big screen. Stan Lee’s cameo was a good one and Robert Downey Jr’s was a surprise. Liv Tyler’s Betty Ross was tougher than Connelly’s. I think she did great. Hurt and Roth are two of the greatest, cold blooded villains to ever hit the screen. My only minor gripe was the effects. “The Hulk” appeared cartoonish in most scenes, unlike Ang Lee’s version. The Abomination was a formidable villain and the a$$ kicking was great. I definitely loved this flick better than Ang Lee’s version. This was the “Hulk” movie I’ve been wanting to see.
hulk review on first showing:
liv tyler was stronger (erm no she wasnt)
the effects were catoonish (um no i think youll find thats the Ang Lee version), General Ross didnt have the ruthless agenda like sam eliot in the First Film, And Blonsky didnt come across as being pissed off at the Hulk.

but without the internet, people like that would be acting like that out on the street
at least it keeps them contained

you know rachel bilson in JUMPER, liv tyler was exactly like that, a whiney doe-eyed whimp.
It wasnt that Liv tylers betty ross was bad, its just there wasnt much story for her to get involved with. Its like Tara reid in Alone in the Dark, you just cant really believe she’s THAT smart. At least me and the other reviewer agreed that it was better than Ang Lee’s version. A cool looking film, that has links to the comics and tv series. Ed Norton is impressive as well as the graphics. I just wished they hadnt cut out the 70 minutes. The directors cut is going to be great.

Looks very cool but he looks way too thin to be the punisher, he should be really well built, half way to hell boy sized.
My reply to this statement: Did you not see the 2004 version, Thomas Jane was bloody scrawny. Ray stevenson looks proper badass - loving the new Armour
And finally my opinion on the Babylon A.D trailer:
Hmm this looks kinda interesting, although the talk is that the Studio butchered it, and took out hlaf the film on the cutting room floor. Vin diesel i fear is being typecast, and the voiceover in the trailer reminds me too much of Riddick. Another Children of Men story / Transporter storyline but it looks promising none the less
