The new Hulk. Seriously?

Is lou ferrigno not available!?!?!?

[JMarkJohns]

The choice is not all right...

[Medvedenko]

It's a good choice.
Ed Norton was solid, but he's a primmadonna on the set and would alienate everyone around him.

Eric Bana is too pretty and big for this role at the moment.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

I've gone back and forth on this. Most of the stuff that I know him from are romantic comedies and the like, but I've heard some rave reviews about some other stuff he's done, namely You Can Count On Me. I don't know that I'd ever really be happy with any replacement pick after Norton. That kind of role seems perfect for him even if the environment of blockbuster franchise doesn't.

[monosylab1k]

I didn't like Edward Norton at all as Bruce Banner. tbh I don't mind this. But I'm not a big Hulk fan so it really doesn't matter to me either way.

[Kermit]

This is just for the Avengers movie. I really doubt that they are going to make another Hulk film.

[Kermit]

And if you want to see something Marvel related that is fucking stupid..

I'm really, really hoping that the I.G. is in now way tied to the Avengers movie. Please. God. No.

[Booharv]

Norton was unbearable on the set and tries to re-write every movie he's in everyone knows this. Ruffalo is fine, besides its not like Bruce Banner was some badass. He was pretty whiny in a lot of the comics I read as a kid iirc actually.

[PM5K]

I've learned not to question casting directors, because I'm not one. I remember when I heard they cast Heath Ledger as The Joker, I remember thinking: They cast the fag from Brokeback as Joker? I was kinda wrong about that one.

[Spurminator]

I think Mark Ruffalo is great. Not sure if this will work but I'm probably not seeing it anyway. I would never compare him to Shia Labouf though, that's cold.

I'm not knowledgeable in the Marvel world, so why would it be wrong to have I.G. in the Avengers movie?

[Spursfan092120]

I think Ruffalo's a good choice. Good actor..the right look for the part...I think it might just work.

[SpursTillTheEnd]

this dude almost died he had a tumor so im down with this

[Mark in Austin]

I have more confidence in Ruffalo as Banner than I do in Hemsworth as Thor. I really think Alexander Skarsgård would have been a better choice.

But I was looking forward to Norton on screen with Downey, Jr. Norton could have held his own - Ruffalo seems destined to fade into the background...

[tlongII]

Bill Bixby pulled it off.

[koriwhat]

how about this awesome concept... stop making hulk movies! shit... stop making shitty comic book movies altogether!

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

All the hulk movies suck anyways

[LnGrrrR]

I'm not knowledgeable in the Marvel world, so why would it be wrong to have I.G. in the Avengers movie?

Infinity Gauntlet would be an awesome movie... in theory. In reality, it's impossible to do.

First off, the Infinity Gauntlet story is only interesting/moving if you already have a good idea of the major players in the Marvel Universe, especially some of the Cosmic characters.

Second, while they could theoretically show the heroes all fighting Thanos, there's no way to show him taking on all the Gods without it looking silly. Maybe a battle with Eternity could be done, but I doubt the audience would be able to follow.

Third, the ending is pretty damn anticlimactic. I won't spoil it though.

I thought Topher Grace would have made a better Spidey.

It is the American way.

There's always going to be people willing to spend their money on stupid stuff.

Bad comic book movies, the shit you see in any given Hot Topic, Furby's, calf-tats, Zubas, Propeller hats, etc, etc...

[koriwhat]

neither have i but i also haven't liked any comic-to-movie production. they all suck.

[JoeChalupa]

I like some of them but I can't believe that no director or producer has been able to come up with a decent Superman adaptation. They have all sucked.

I must admit I have watched the Spiderman and Batman movies though.

[CuckingFunt]

neither have i but i also haven't liked any comic-to-movie production. they all suck.

Yep. You're totally right.

From Hell was a monstrosity.

And Road to Perdition? Suck-fest.

Don't even get me started on Ghost World. Or A History of Violence.

Blech.

Really.

[CuckingFunt]

As for Ruffalo, I quite like him as an actor and think he'll be a good Bruce Banner. After all the changes, though, I don't have much hope for the future of Hulk movies as a franchise. I'd say let him be a part of The Avengers and then let it be.

[JoeChalupa]

Yep. You're totally right.

Good point but for me, graphic novels and comics are not the same if you know what I mean. Superman, Batman, Spiderman, The Green Lantern, etc are comic books to me.

[florige]

The first Hulk movie was the worst comic book to big screen I have ever seen. For all the hype that movie was total crap. I actually liked the second one alot, but I am a huge Norton fan so that may have had alot to do with it. I agree with the person that said they were looking forward on seeing Norton and Downey on screen together.

[Mark in Austin]

I think this also means the odds of ever seeing the longer cut of Norton's hulk movie that he & the director favored with more character development have gone down considerably, unless Marvel Studios is short on cash and releases it to try to milk whatever money is left out of the movie.

[leemajors]

They can't even make a very good looking Hulk animated movie, which is a shame because it should easily translate. Some of the Ultimate Avengers stuff did a decent job, but Lionsgate ruined Planet Hulk with halfass animation. Too many people like the Hulk for them to stop though.

[BlairForceDejuan]

Fcuk you Ed Norton. You had the world in your hands and you went Hollywood.

[koriwhat]

in reply to cuckingfunt; this is what i was getting at. the same could be said about video games to the big screen imo.

Except that graphic novels are essentially comics bound together.

And Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. :lol

Eh, four-color isn't for everyone, but there are still some great stories dealing with capes. Dark Knight Returns, Red Son, Kingdom Come, the Watchmen, Sandman Returns (pretty much any Vertigo comic) for DC, and the Ultimate line from Marvel are good works.

Image produces Invincible which is funny and wonderful. Reminds me of old Spiderman stuff.

And then there's a ton of stuff that doesn't involve capes, like the Walking Dead, Chew, Y: The Last Man, etc etc.

[TDMVPDPOY]

comic movies continue to be made cause hwood has run out of ideas

unless they start buyin rights from other countries and reproducing it, then again original is always better

True. I stopped reading comics decades ago though and was just a kid and still into comics like Archie, Sadsack, Durango Kid, Sgt. Rock and others. Never got into it after that.

You need to check out Walking Dead. Great series, but very mature. (I wouldn't let little kids read it.)

[Johnny RIngo]

Seeing as both Hulk movies flopped at the box office, you're not the only one that doesn't give a shit about the character.

They are making a walking dead tv series for AMC

Is that the guy from The Brothers Bloom?


:lol Marvel casting for movies has been in doubt with Tobey MacGuire as spiderman and was totally cemented to douchedom with Eric fucking Foreman as Eddie Brock.

Nothing surprises me after det one.

AMC is ripping shit up right now.

[ynh]

My big question is when is Downy Jr. going to get sick of playing Tony Stark? You figure 2 movies already... sure they make an Iron Man 3 (or does this count as Iron man 3?).. if not.. figure IM3.. Avengers.. Avengers 2-3.. Gotta get old sooner or later.

[Trainwreck2100]

not just AMC is involved, frank darabont is in on the project too

Yes, it's based off the comic. :) If it's half as graphic as the comic, they better play that after 10 at night. :lol
