The Quicks

Brucey B is the scientist whose cells were infected by radiation that causes him to transform into the Incredible Hulk when under extreme stress.  The new angle…after days of testing a captured Hulk (Bruce Banner), the Russians collect enough DNA to infect Emil Blonsky (Tim Roth), a KGB spy, with the same radiation to create the Abomination, who is billed as being badder and stronger than the Hulk, in calm state.  Until the Abomination, Banner (Norton), was trying to get rid of the Hulk…but now realizes that the only hope for the world is become the very thing he hates.

Let’s get down to it…

 Pros

·        CGI looks really good.

·        Looks like this will be much better than Ang Lee’s version a few years ago.  Then again, the bar is pretty low.

·        It’s got Ed Norton as Bruce Banner who should do right by Bill Bixby (for those who don’t know, Bixby was Bruce Banner in the TV series that helped bring Hulk to the mainstream).

·        Story line sounds sick

 Cons (or Fears)

·        While CGI is really good, is doesn’t appear to be as fluid (i.e., looks a little below the Pixar standard – which admittedly is the platinum standard).

·        I pray it’s not like the 2003 version.  That one took way too long for the Hulk to appear and some scenes really should’ve been cut out – like then one when Banner’s Father (Nick Nolte) and Banner (Eric Bana) discuss how bad a father he was to Banner – ugh.  My wife (then girlfriend) still has this as a black mark on my, otherwise, record J  - Ang Lee (director of 2003 Hulk) did a phenomenal job on CGO, though.  

·        Trailers sometimes don’t do the film justice (in good and bad ways).

All-in-all, I’m really excited about the spring with Speed Racer on the docket, backed w/ Hulk!!!
