No.

Davey Jones is the best CGI character ever.





Both close-ups in daylight. No comparison.

I disagree. Davey Jones doesn't look real at all. No emotions displayed like with the Hulk.

Seriously Mav?

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about if you think Hulk looks 50% as great as Davey Jones.

Glad you liked it. I adored it, and have watched it several times now. Still noticing new easter eggs, as I just 5 minutes ago, as I was watching it again, I noticed that in the opening credits scene, Rick Jones is listed as a "known associate" of Bruce Banners!

They need to get him into the sequel. His ommision as a major character is something I wouldn't have done. They got away with it, but I'd prefer him to be introduced in the sequel.

Munk-E, please stop following me around with the shitty fucking comments. One more time, I take care of it myself, okay mods and admins?

I'm reading and replying to almost every active post today. Just because you keep making ridiculous comments doesn't mean I'm "following" you.

You are the one who can't stop with the personal attacks. I've reported MANY of your posts.

I'm sure anybody with intelligence realizes that you follow me around being a dick, so don't whine when I call you one. In fact, ignore me. I haven't used that feature on anybody, but I'm going to have to look into that with you. Do the same with me.

Then how will I be able to report any of your personal attacks against almost every member of the forum?!

how about you both shut the fuck up

Jim, which CGI is better:

The Incredible Hulk

or

Davey Jones?

Now I will shut up

Pulpy and lean where Ang Lee's picture was dreary and ponderous. The Incredible Hulk works because of it's sheer lack of ambition; I, for one, am tired of comic book flicks with delusions of grandeur and running times to match. TIH's single minded devotion to action and forward motion is admirable, as is the under 2-hour runtime. Leterrier shows a real skill for handling the action sequences; holy shit, I could tell what was happening and to whom!

when you've got a large green monster fighting against people, that doesn't come as much of a surprise

and even in that last fight, they simply looked very different, so yeah.

Still, it wasn't like Transformers, where they all looked the same to begin with, and then Michael Bay decided to make the fights really closeup so that it was impossible to tell what was happening to who.

...and even harder were the Oscar winning polar bears in The Golden Compass...

Davy Jones and Gollum have character. They express things through their eyes, like real characters. Hulk looks angry and hits things.

You're a sell-out.

That's just a joke. Neither of those character's had the expressions that the Hulk had. His eyes, mouth, body language, etc... It's ridiculous to even try to debate that.

There is more expression in Hulk '03's little finger than in the ENTIRE new Hulk movie.

I thought Gollum in particular was very very impressive. I mean, considering ROTK came out 5 years before TIH, he still looks miles better IMO. Hulk looked awful in some shots in this movie. Such as the one you have in your avatar.

It's a mirror of Iron Man. That movie worked so well because of everything but the action... The chemistry between Stark and Pepper, testing the machine, the script, it just had a wonderful charm and vibrance throughout. The action was the weakest part of Iron Man.

Hulk on the other hand, has decent action scenes (I'd like to call them great, but they aren't really, they're just better than everything else), but falls completley dead everywhere else. I felt nothing for these characters or their story, and none of the Hulk angst Bruce should be portraying. Particularly in any scenes with Liv Tyler and William Hurt. It's really hard to take the Bruce and Betty relationship seriously when every line feels like it'd be turned down in an audition. Also trying to picture this bumbling airhead as a doctor brought on shades of Denise Richards in The World Is Not Enough.

Roth is ok. I don't think he was given enough. Norton was pretty good, but again, he wasn't chewing on the most material here.

I also agree it's hard to treat it as the "balls to the wall action" version of Hulk and judge it just on that, when it probably has less action scenes than the original.

Oh, and there was one moment that really bugged me, when the helicopter crashed full-on and everyone dies but Tyler and Hurt... in fact they walk out unscathed. Like, if you're going to be that blatantly lazy, just don't have the helicopter crash. This isn't Lost rules. I also could've done without the Abomination lines and the Hulk breath/clap thing. And I wasn't all that impressed by the CGI.

Anyways, it's watchable and certainly not the worst of the comic book movies, but there's certainly not much about it I'll call "great". It's just kind of there.

2/5

BKB/ Mav first off the CGI in the original Jurassic Park looks a thousands times better than the CGI in this, and that was released 15yrs ago. Davey Jones and Gollum blow the doors off this as well.


The CGI was very hit and miss in this. Most of the distant to medium shots looked amateurish to cartoony. The whole scene with Hulk and Betty in the rain hiding in the cave just had me laughing my ass off in terms of how bad the CGI was. When she tried to hold his hand and they were nowhere close to each other. The stuff that did work were the close ups of Hulks face or when the focus was just on Hulk or Abonination. I also thought the scene in Mr. Blues lab was ok. Maybe if they used one established CGI/effex firm (Digital Domain,ILM) instead of farming it to by my count four different shops then maybe the quality would've been better.
