Gentle Human, Hidden Monster

* So did the Hulk look cartoonish? Well, once you look past the fact that he is a cartoon (or a CGI-created animated figure), you won't even notice it. Major props goes to the Hulk creators for making the big green guy human-like from head to toe, including his facial expressions. They even made The Hulk's green pupils dilate.

* Filmmaker Ang Lee (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) did a superb job with the direction of this film. Ang will take moviegoers into the world of comic books via celluloid. His wipes, spilt screens, panel shots and other optical effects will make you think that you are actually reading a comic book – this genius filmmaking. Ang Lee is the man!

* Jennifer Connelly – who plays Bruce Banner's love interest Betty Ross in the film – is a HOTTIE!

* Aussie actor Eric Bana – who plays Bruce – is a superstar in the making. A great performance. He has all of the good looks and acting ability to be Hollywood's next "It" guy, like fellow Aussie actor Mel Gibson.

* This movie is a character-driven piece. You won't get to see the Hulk until about an hour into the flick. You will get bored, but hold on, it will get better.

* Industry insiders say if The Hulk does well at the box office (duhh, it will rake in major green at the b.o.), a sequel might get put into production. My opinion on that is please, no sequel. Let a great film stand-alone.

[EDIT]
This Just In: Eric Bana has signed on to do two Hulk sequels.

Oh well . . . Now I'm green with envy.


And speaking of comic book characters!

I'm Wolverine!

You are Wolverine!

A loner by nature, you feel uncomfortable when
around those you don't know and even those you
do. You are awkward when it comes to
relationships, but fiercely loyal to those you
love.

aye, it makes me laugh when hollywood claims they are doing well in the fight against piracy. They may be able to catch small groups of students who take part in filesharing, but can they catch the people who leak screeners and rip them and release them to the public? no....
