Munich probably 'sucked' because semites are a minorship...and even considering the movie did not justify whatever jewish did, the fact it was directed by a jewish director probably granted it a reputation of a pro-semite work - specially by people who didn't see the movie. however spielberg makes it subtle, however quite noticeable, that there's no right side in such issues and specially in that particular one. well packed, wrapped and delivered. great work with a very strong and heavy thematics

about hulk issues:

eric bana isn't great, but bruce banner is a moron. he's just a brilliant scientist with a huh...marvellous (?) accident in his life history. fine cast for me. we should'nt expect him babbling about every kind of math/physics theory that alan moore-ish relates to what the Hulk is.

nick nolte is a HELL of a great actor when there's a HELL of a part for him. I'm not talking about romantic adventures with Julia Roberts. He has great works in his career. you gotta know and believe the guy. i surely didn't like Jeff Bridges cast for Iron Man when I first heard of. Jeff Bridges and Keanu Reeves have always been, in my opinion, actors that play themselves in every movie. they have their shortcuts, their Tom Cruise-isms (the magic, shining bright smile that save almost every scene when he's sucking in his autopilot act)...but this time, Jeff Bridges REALLY impressed me. what a villain, what an Obadiah he was.

and the same went for Nick. He was always a shade of himself in movies. but in Hulk, well, he was a great shade of himself. the best shade of himself he could be. I have no complaints.


i guess the comic-book split screen, well...it was a try. nobody can blame ang lee for bringing something different. it sucked? yes. but here, between you and me...would you prefer watching a movie with those failing editing gimmicks or 15min. of ben affleck attempting to be matt murdock with his woodface grim and such a horrible hair?

that's the point. ang lee brought some respect to the carachter. i mean, it took time, lots of screening time until he first show. but that's fine...for me, alone. it's just what i expected from hulk. what would drive a man to become such furious, organic, killing machine? oh, he was exposed to gamma rays. wow...that's amazing...and why didn't he become a raging bubble?

ang lee created a logical scenario for everything and even if 40 min. took a lot of time in the movie that could be filled with action, what i saw after that was enough and balanced. great job.

I will definitely agree that Ang Lee did do a good job capturing the psychological torment portion of the Hulk's character. But the problem is that there's more to that character than that. That's simply where he started. You have a character who's rage comes from deep inner turmoil. Now where do you go from there? I'll where you DON'T go.. fighting radioactive poodles.

Combine the two movies - Sam Eliot as Thunderbolt Ross and the character history from Ang Lee, and everything else from the Incredible Hulk - and there it is.

Gravy.

well, I went seeing it last night. what a movie. great, I mean, not grrrrreeeeeeeeeeat, but great, yes. it felt like a very good comic book. the special effects are a blast.

i can safely say that ang lee gave the carachter respect and leterrier made it rock.

the only sad note must go for a person I really like - Liv Tyler. she's probably on the top100 nicest people of Earth list, but her acting in that movie was...lame. dunno why. she's such a fine actress, but it feels like caring a little baby pretty harmed her skills - differently of other screwed mind actresses like jolie. could the fact that she's so sweet be the problem?

I saw it. I liked it a lot. I felt it was as good as Iron Man.

I can't comment on it being better or worse then the Ang Lee version because, in all honesty, I didn't see it in the theater, and I couldn't sit through it for more than 10 minutes without changing the channel when it was on TV.
