So I saw the Incredible Hulk this weekend and overall I thought it was a pretty fun movie to watch in the theater. I think the Hulk seemed a lot angrier in this movie which was pretty cool; I think he was a bit too fluffy in the last one. I also was glad that the Hulk didn't 'fly' around like he did in the last movie, I thought that was pretty cheesy. However, I was particularly disappointed in some of the nuances of the film that made me ask myself what the people who made this movie were thinking.
First: QUIT SHOOTING THE HULK WITH MACHINE GUNS!!! Man, this ticks me off more than anything. Can the military portrayed in the movie be that stupid??? Why do they keep shooting him with guns when the bullets just bounce off, IT DOESN'T WORK - JUST STOP IT!!!
Second: There's this one scene where the Hulk takes Liv Tyler to this cave and he bumps his little Hulk head on the roof of the cave and then seems to act like he really hurt himself. Seriously? He gets an ouchie from bumping his head? He's been blown up about a billion times already throughout the movie and a bump on the head is going to hurt him?
Third: They were trying to capture poor Mr. Banner to dissect him and figure out how to make super solders, when they go ahead and make one of their own to go and capture the Hulk. Hey military, you've figured it out, you don't need to waste your time chasing the Hulk down and making a big mess everywhere you go. The dude's just trying live his life man; leave the Hulk (and Britany Spears) ALONE!
Well, I'm going to stop there for now. Look, I know when I go and see a movie about a dude who turns into a big green dude and is pretty much invincible to everything, that I'm going to see some stuff that's probably stupid; but come on. Other than those things, I'd recommend seeing it for something fun to do. It's a movie about a big green guy smashing things in a cool way, with a little bit o' love mixed in so your date doesn't get bored.
