The Incredible Hulk..Was A Remake Really Necessary? March 26, 2008
Posted by 54071 in : Comic Movies , trackbackOkay, question of the day…Was A Remake of The Incredible Hulk Really Necessary?
I Think not!
What’s that, I doth protest too much you say…well of course I do…that’s why your here reading this post isn’t it?!
Okay, I’ve seen the trailer for the movie and it looks like the movie is going to be okay ( not sure if it warrants a $10 ticket thou ), and I have nothing against Edward Norton as an actor, and I’m not saying that he won’t be a good Bruce Banner, what I am saying is they could have used Eric Bana again?
One thing I did notice was a scene or( maybe two ) that paid direct homage to the Incredible Hulk television series that featured Bill Bixby and Lou Feriggno, where Bixby’s Banner is sitting in some sort of a reclined chair with some sort of machinery surrounding him, and also a scene where they take a tight closeup of Norton’s face ( the eyes to be exact ) when he goes thru the change into the Hulk.
And as far as the Hulk himself goes, okay he looks alot shorter in this outing, but I really had no problem with the original Hulk in the first movie ( yeah, so what if he was 15 feet tall! ) I mean how many different incarnations of the Hulk have we been witness to over the years ( never mind that now we are reading a comic called The Hulk ) and that in his latest incarnation, he just happens to be… RED!
And the Abomination…come on now!
With all we are able to do with CGI now, the best they could do was give us an over grown, over muscled, Zombie-esque type of creature?
Well, again, my first choice of movies to see in the Summer movie season is Iron Man ( and I just noticed that Downey Jr. is supposed to be in the Hulk movie ) than it becomes a toss up for me as to the Hulk movie or the next Bat movie, but I see myself ( as I have already stated earliar ) seeing the Bat movie first, just to pay homage to Heath Ledger.
