The Hulk (slight spoilers, possibly)

Post by Drolgin Steingrinder »

So I'm a bad person.

I was bored the other day and downloaded a workprint of Ang Lee's 'The Hulk' from a bittorrent site. I really, really wish I hadn't.

I realize that this may not be the product, but daaaaaaaamn: An excellent study in how NOT to edit a film, how NOT to write a score, and how NOT to fucking write a script. Nothing happens in that movie, nothing relevant any way. The ending is antifuckingclimactic, the characters are dull and the effects are bleh.


I r teh sad ><

This was most likely something that was leaked from post production at some point. I imagine that a LOT of sound effects/music were missing and some stuff still needed to be cleaned up. However, enough was there to be able to make a good opinion about this

I thought that cinematography was great, editing style was definatly interesting but the movie itself had absolutly no soul.

Ang Lee is an artist. His movies are his canvas. That being said, some licenses don't lend themselves well to art. The Hulk is one of them.

I'm extremely dissapointed with the movie. If I have any recommendations for all of you, download it and watch it on your computer and save yourself the price of admission.
