COMIC BOOK FILM SERIES: HULK

HULK

I liked this movie except for two things and first it seemed missing something, a good battle scene quite possibly and secondly and I have NEVER forgotten this...

...a clip I saw on TV for this on its cinema release was NOT in the movie?!

Still I did like it despite thinking it could have been better. I think it needed to be grittier, or the Hulk needed to be grittier.

I thought the casting was OK too and always good to see Sam Elliot again, what an actor he is! Well I think he is a great actor anyway, lol.

Some said he was too big and I just do not understand this...too CLEAN maybe but too big?! This IS the Hulk we are talking about here! Indeed in the comics he did go through a number of transitions and looks and even SEPARATED from Bruce Banner completely and banished to another dimension that was a kind of Limbo! First he was GREY, then he was bigger, then smaller and I even here there was a RED ONE?! LOL! Interesting!

I did think it was funny to have both Bruce and David Banner?! Oh and not to forget Bruce Banner played by none other than Eric Banner. Ohh sorry I mean Eric BANA! Haha.

Enter stage right, Mr Elliot was stage left, Nick Nolte! Another top talent!

I also liked the way they tried to get that comic book feel to it and I guess many hated it but I did not mind it at all.

OK it does not get as watched now as much as the follow up one but I DO watch it! HONEST! LMAO!

COMIC BOOK FILM SERIES: THE AVENGERS

The Avengers is a good place to start as I have a copy that is out of the ordinary and was only sold at a particular store.

Yet I bought it much later than I should and at a totally different store I now happen to be barred from for false allegations of swearing, abusive language and sarcasm based on somebody being a fat tub or lard arse?!?! LMAO!

This one with the segmented cover pictures was only available at Sainburys and it turned out to be special as it had TWO DISKS and lots of extras.

I would normally have bought this off Amazon but on the day of release there was a god almighty war going on that would put Loki's to shame?! Turned out that the film had 6 minutes of a fight scene cut, yes well of course you would do that in a comic book film you morons?! Added to this the lack of an extra disc was too much for fans to take...

...it went a little mental and when I saw droves and droves of one star out of five I thought what the feck is going on here? Then I discovered the above and saw people typing out comments like 'RIP-OFF' and 'TYPICAL OF DISNEY' and mentions of LUCAS ARTS too. This totally put me off especially when many were sending them back?!

Talked to a guy in HMV who had got a Steelbook version of this as I was looking at it and I mentioned this talk on Amazon and asked him what he knew of it? He told me he had bought one, grabbed the Steelbook Avengers i had in my hands and walked off to the counter. He did a check on his system and returned without the Avengers and said 'I don't believe it?! You are right! There is 6 minutes cut from the theatrical version?! I am bringing mine back!!' to which I burst out laughing...

...I spoke to him a week later and he decided to keep it!

By now the Sainburys one had sold out and they had no more of this type but I saw it in a Cash Converter type store and decided to buy it, four months after its release! I could not tell where the cut was in all honesty! Which was a surprise and I wonder if the European theatre release one was cut too?!

Oh you and to call it Avengers Assemble was STUPID!! Sounds like a Saturday morning kids show!

Loved the film and loved Mark Ruffalo as Banner but I did prefer the Hulk in the Incredible Hulk if I am honest.

Felt it was a hero light and I hated Hawkeye's costume.

Roll on the next one and I hope they have the Vision and the Scarlet Witch in it with decent outfits, lol.

Close to a perfect ten only in I wanted to see more of Thor as I loved his comics and probably to to do with the fact I have not seen HIS MOVIE YET?!
