The Incredible Hulk Discussion Thread--SPOILERS!!

[Random]

It's not even a movie property if it doesn't have sequels. It's just one movie. And even if it has a hundred bad sequels, the first, good one isn't ruined in any way.

And making a sequel doesn't automatically mean it's bad. So there's no harm in making it and hoping for the best. And even if it's bad it doesn't mean people won't like it.

Plus, I would argue that the majority of super-hero sequels are better than the originals.

I'm just saying that usually sequels turn out bad (though recently its been better). A lot of sequels can be bad and sometimes retroactively make the previous movie stink by association. So why waste all that money on a sequel (I'm speaking generally, not directed at TIH) that will most likely turn out bad, than make a new potentially good movie.

Honestly, instead of the Leader cameo, I don't think a hulk sequel is warranted or that the character and potential storyline can sustain a second movie. I say continue the story in the Avengers movie

No sequel could retroactively make the previous movie bad. Things don't work that way. The original doesn't change.

And you make a sequel because people want to see it. Even if you, me, or all of us here hate it doesn't mean that the rest of the world won't enjoy it. Just because it's bad doesn't mean he can't be appreciated by someone.

I can't watch the first two Spider-man movies with out getting the taste of vomit in my mouth

That's true, there are some people who will pay no matter how bad it may be

Exactly best example of this is Caddyshack. Caddyshack is great , Caddyshack II sucks so very very much. Does it make it make Caddyshack some suck because of it? No it doesn't

What about the Matrix?

The Matrix is just as good as ever, no matter how bad Revolutions is.

You're the abnormality here, if you let future works effect previous works.

 

[ProjectX2]

Why is that good? How will a sequel hurt you?

Because I don't understand why every character needs a series/franchise. Can they sustain it? I don't think the Hulk can, especially not with The Leader. I liked the idea of having The Avengers act as a sequel to all of them. But now it's lopsided. We'll have an Iron Man sequel, an Avengers movie, and then possibly a sequel to Captain America and Thor or whatever. It's just uneven and this is a small nitpick, but I like these things to be consistent.

For once, I would like them to make one good movie before they start thinking about sequels and trilogies. When I go to see a movie, I want to watch one story, not one half or one third of a story. It's just all about money.

Oh well. Sometimes crappy sequels can hurt a franchise as a whole. Maybe it is just me but I can't appreciate the first Matrix now as much as I did before the awful sequels came out.

Not to play devils advocate buy Hollywood is an industry after all. If someone doesn't like what they are doing then the only way to get it changed is not to pay to go see whatever it is. Hollywood isn't going to change the way they do things if they keep making money off of it.

Every Marvel movie after Iron Man doesn't get a sequel (if and when they do) until after Avengers comes out (especially Cap since his movie doesn't come out until 6 weeks before Avengers does).

Any character can sustain a franchise, it all depends on how the story for that movie is done. Hulk's movie wasn't one-half or anything towards story. It is possible he can sustain his own franchise. But even then, I'm also having a hard time seeing how a movie between him and the Leader can actually hold for 2 hours or whatever. It's possible, but it seems like to make it an actual movies we'd probably have extended scenes going on and on and on...etc.


Now, I do agree with Project that Avengers should serve as a sequel of sorts to these movies. Even though Iron Man II is the only sequel we will get, I think it is possible that it can still work.

Sequels are great. I wish they made more one-off movies with one-off sequels and made less "trilogies" and crap.

Be more like Bond.

I like trilogies if they are good. E.g Back to the future - the best trilogy ever.

As opposed to really bad ones E.g "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" where Honey, I Shrunk the Kids was good fun, Honey, I blew up the baby was horrible and pushing it. Honey, we shrunk ourselves was soooooooo wrong and so bad."

Though I love the trilogy concept, I would like it if we went with that more often. They're really getting played out

Sorry Joe, Bond's on our side now.

Until Craig leaves and they bring another actor in and start it all over again. The series isn't going to end when the story's told or whatever crap they say.

Mods, can we please separate the sequel talk form this thread please and make it it's own topic?

Hulk is getting a sequel.

Kevin Fiege at SDCC:

Feige guaranteed a sequel from the Ed Norton "Hulk."

DVD Active has posted the following cover art for the upcoming The Incredible Hulk DVD. No release date or specifications have been announced yet (aside from the "3-Disc Special Edition" noted on the artwork), so stay tuned for those.

3 disks! Damn. Hopefully everything in the 3 disk one will be in the Bluray version

 

[Random]

I just want to see that damn alternate ending already!

 

[Langsta]

The cover could be better. It looks like the cover to a video game.

Yeah, what happened with that? "Sometime this week." It's been 2 months!

It really does, actually.

He did say later that it was up to the studios and if it came out it would be that week or something like that, still

Ah. I don't think I saw the studio part (or remember it).

it was more "if we can we'll have it out sometime next week" type of thing

I'm hoping Uk gets a better cover than that like we have before o n dvds and games

Music was better in the new one. I mean it had the slow walking away song from the TV show. And William Hurt> Sam Elliot.

i found the music in this one better than Lee's.

I think this film surpasses the Ang Lee one in every way...Better music.

Now tell me the Letterier version has better music.. Seriously, at 0.33, that's definitive.

The 2008 version had a small snippet of The Lonely Man (or the 'sad walking away music' as it is commonly referred to) yes, but it was under-used and it couldn't possibly make up for the stock, 'action chase badass' music that they used incessantly for the rest of the movie, with no emotion in it, whatsoever.

this, apparently is a screen shot from the alternate beginning in which you catch a glimpse of Cap frozen in the ice

I don't see how anyone could make that out. I'm looking right at it and still can't tell if its anything but rocks. Also isn't it suppose to be an alternate ending?

 

[DARKKNIGHT]

I see it. I wonder if they focus on it in the film, or if it's just a quick shot. Interesting nonetheless.
