Bulk Hulk

Rating: 9/10 (17 June 2008)

Strangely enough Marvel has produced another film version of the Marvel Comic book hero, the Hulk. It is difficult to compare the two they are both really good but the first one had arguably better CGI but the second had a more likable hulk. Of course all hulks need anger management and heaps of Valium rather than natural meditative techniques as we learn from the second version. Liv Tyler plays the romantic interest of Hulk played by Edward Norton. Liv attempts to play a demure delicate woman but instead appears very large, Amazonian and broad shouldered that makes the human hulk look really weak and effeminate maybe this was deliberate.
The big showdown at the end of the film between the Hulk and the cheaper generic hulk imitation is very funny and enjoyable like world championship wrestling.
There is also a cameo appearance of Mr Stark of Iron man played by Robert Downey Jnr. which implies very directly that the Hulk may join forces with Iron Man to defeat some crazy evil force in a sequel. I did note that the Hulk inducing chemicals were not destroyed so that may be the key to why there will be a follow up.
I think the important thing in the next Hulk movie will be revolutionary stretch pants for the Hulk or maybe an ultra stretch leotard. I also think that an ultra stretch condom might also help a wee bit, the mind boggles.
Anyway burnt out Baby boomers who saw the sixties TV version and much younger males really love these action movies and are forgiving with all the technical errors.
Catch it while its on the big screen where the special effects are best seen.
