Affleck and Garner were the two worst actors in that movie. All around, it was still a pretty bad flick. How the fuck do you give us one of the greatest moments in DD history in the first movie?!
But yeah, it really suffered from bad casting more than anything else. Matt Damon as DD would have been better. And the costume sucked as well. Ben’s chubby cheeks looked like two fucking potbellies sticking out from the sides of the mask. Seriously.
And lol @ Spuddly not knowing anything about the Hulk. Hulk isn’t about killing people. The problem with Ang Lee was that he tried too hard with the psychological aspect of the Hulk rather than the “Hulk smash!” side.
Hulk is basically Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It’s all about keeping those inner-demons in check. It’s an average flick either way you cut it.
People expected to see Hulk break stuff and fight the abomination with no real explanation behind why the Hulk is there.
IMO, Hulk: Gray got it a lot better than the Hulk movie. Hopefully, this movie will take some elements from that Loeb/Sale story.
Easy. Daredevil had elements and characters from the comics. Catwoman had ZERO. No Selina Kyle, no Gotham City, nothing. Even the Catwoman suit wasn’t the same as the comic book one… Which would of been fine if it was a good movie, but it wasn’t.
The only positive thing about it flopping is that it convinced the WB to not make the Jack Black as Green Lantern comedy movie. It took Catwoman to teach them not to screw around with their characters like that. Boy, fat men in suits sure are dumb sometimes…
I’ve been reading Hulk comics on and off for years, but it’s simply lame that they’d have the Hulk going around and throwing tanks into helicopters, throwing them over the horizon, flipping over cars and all that kind of stuff, and still go through, and then they make sure to go through each individual vehicle that was launched like a Kyo hcb+LK and show them all perfectly fine.
The Hulk isn’t a mammal ninja, who flips out and kills people all the time (and stop taking everything I say out of context, Scythe). But it was just so forced how they always devoted an extra minute or two after every scene to show you “oh wait…everyone’s ok.” But cmon, when the Hulk levels Vegas, do you think that even the writers are going to say “well, even though he demolished a city with millions of people in it, he didn’t kill anyone?”
I disagree re: Daredevil and Batman & Robin. Both of them are bad enough to the point where I couldn’t consider one worse than the other. Perhaps Daredevil was a little more faithful to the comics, but Batman & Robin balances the scales by being slightly more entertaining (it’s funnier).
Shit, I never heard about that. I can put up with them fucking up Daredevil, but I might have had to choke a bitch if they fucked up Green Lantern.
The original seven Justice Leaguers are among the very few characters who should never be fucked with. Daredevil? Okay. Ghost Rider? Fine. Green Lantern? You are inviting the reprisal of God.
