boe_dye sez: ENOUGH WITH THE P'OEd CGI SHREK ON Steroids ALREADY!

Rating: 2/10 (20 July 2008)

Honestly, that's what kills this movie, and the previous one before that. Yeah it wasn't as artsy as the first one, but I actually liked the first one better for it's believability factor as opposed to this one which was just plain silly.
And that's really what deep sixed this film for my was the CGI. I could have dealt with Norton's Banner...
Okay that's just not true, he wasn't good for this part at all. And Liv Tyler played basically the same airy whispery voice role that she plays in all her films minus LOTR...
But when oh when, and yes this is a pipe dream, will Hollywood stop using CGI on everything known to man? Honestly, that's why Hulk movies will always fail is because once the puny human banner goes bye bye, angry cartoon Hulk smashes...
No emotion whatsoever in the character. His rage makes me want to laugh because it's so fake and engineered.
At least when Ferrigno did it in the 80's he looked more believable then this stuff.
Yeah it was campy, yeah it was basic, but it had so much more feeling in it then what we get today.
All the hulk is anymore is a multimillion dollar Shrek meet's Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
Honestly the only way to save the hulk is this: Put down the computers, put down the animation. Find a good makeup/costume designer and some super huge steroid head body builder, and go to town.
It works with the Thing in FF. It works in Hellboy. It can work here very good here.
In the end, this movie left me bored, and not caring less what happened in the "surprise" left open for a sequel finale'.
