I heard 28 Days Later was horrible...
*HULK SPOILERS*
And I thought the Hulk was just plain bad. It takes like an hour for the movie to even show the Hulk and then its one of those teasing in the shadows type things. The stuff in between the Hulk scenes were boring and uninteresting. I couldn't decide if Bruce's dad actually loved him, hated him, was proud of his "creation", or was always wanting to use him for his powers.
Jennifer Connely's character (I have never met a girl named Betty...) was just the typical love interest trying to protect the monster. How many times has the whole "girl falls in love with monster and has to stop daddy from killing it" thing been done?
Nor could I figure out where that other guy was coming from... The young guy... The one who wants to use the Hulk's DNA or whatever to make super soldiers. Maybe I missed something, but he just showed up out of nowhere suddenly antagonizng the heroes. Its said he has some past history with Bruce and Betty but it never expands on it. I just felt he was there to be the annoying comic relief villain.
And how many times had the super soldier thing been done as well?
And there were some inconsistencies as well. General Ross (correct?) is trying to interrogate Bruce to find out where his father is. He thinks that Bruce might be planning something with his father. This is complete stupidity. Bruce, who has never shown any sort of hostility towards anybody, does not seem to be the person to plan anything with anybody much less his father who he hasn't met since he was like three.
Not only that, but its revealed that Bruce's dad killed his mom in front of Bruce. General Ross knows this happened is completely surprised that Bruce was unable to remember this. How could he suspect that Bruce would be protecting his father if he knew his mother was killed in front of him? If I remembered my mom being stabbed by my father (not to mention because she was stopping him from stabbing me) I certainly wouldn't protect my father. I would help get him into custody.
And the ending sucks. Maybe I'm just stupid (or had just lost interest and wasn't paying attention) but I had no clue why they put Bruce and his dad on some electric floor and allowed them to talk while planning to electrocute them if they did anything. I didn't get that at all.
And the ending battle is the worst I've ever seen. I didn't understand that either.
In its credit, most of the scenes with Hulk were pretty cool. The CG was awesome IMO (except for one scene where the Hulk picks up Betty) but the action was good. There just wasn't enough of it.
Anyway...
I'm done
