Went to see Hulk last night.

I enjoyed it, but it's hardly mainstream viewing, is it?

When David and Bruce are talking towards the end, with both sitting on metal chairs, black background, it was so basic, but it worked for me. But I could imagine that some action babies would have been getting itchy about then, wanting to see more smashage.

I loved the way it was cut like a comic book in some scenes, you'll know what I mean if/when you see it.

Only criticism, some of the action scenes were in too much darkness, and it was a bit hard to keep up. For instance, how many dogs were attacking Hulk? I thought it was three to begin with, but there seemed to be way more.

Also, it all got a little too odd, with all of that absorbing of form of everything around that his father could do.

But still, I liked it, but after a massive drop in box office takings from one week to the next (over 75% drop in US) I can't see Ang Lee being allowed to do a sequel.

Hulk was OK, but it's the sort of film that was bound to divide people. Action or thoughtfulness? Depends what you go to the cinema to see. I went to see carnage. I can appreciate a good film, but I felt a bit cheated that the special effects shots you did see were mostly in the dark. But the film has it's place as one of the more original of the recent batch of superhero films, because of the way it dealt with human emotions when faced with such an enormous barrier.

I though that the film was excellent. For a start there were no stupid gags or crap puns, the film tried to take itself and the subject matter seriously, the violence was fantastic and the characters suitably flawed. I thought the CGI Hulk looked fine and I was happy that Lee took time to develop the plot and explore the Hulk's background and creation in some depth.

The only thing I didn't like was the Hulk jumping miles at a time...

Didn't like it as a film, but the way it was edited was clever. My mates are divided on it, some of us weren't too excited over it, others said it was good.
