The Incredible Hulk (2008)
Forget there even was a 2003 rendition of the Hulk.
While the storyline is predictable, I suspect that this flick (along with Iron Man) ushers in a new era of sorts for Marvel-based movies. While not as slick & witty as Iron Man, let's face it, the Hulk is not nearly as complex a character.
I thought for a moment that perhaps this was the kind of flick I might dial up another friend to watch but I decided to take my wife which turned out to be a bonus for the both of us... I lucked out that I just so happened to take her to a movie that featured Portuguese (EN sub-titles on & off for about 10 minutes or so) but as it turns out she claimed to like it more than Iron Man (which I admit, I might have been a bit more partial to).
Basic plot, good acting (on Norton's part), great special effects, and while I may have been more partial to Iron Man, the battles featured here cannot be compared.
Keep 'em coming Marvel - great job!!
Last Days (2005)
My God
What a waste of -insert explicative here- time. The only redeeming quality worth noting was some of the camera work, which is the only reason why this morose & comatosely boring flick registered even a 2/10.
Music aside, this film gives us a good idea why grunge is despised by so many & why those avid fans who live & breathe this stuff really need to search for some redeeming beauty in life. - And then go out & live it. You'll spend time enough in a grave already. In the meantime, get a life...
The low mumblings throughout that constitute a "script" are an annoying distraction, especially when combined with the cacophony of musical commotion. I would have expected MUCH more especially from a biographical piece featuring a musician.
I cannot believe I lasted until the end. Why I put myself through such torture, I have no idea... My recommendation: save yourself the pain & anguish of this thoughtless piece. You're probably much better off to just drop a Nirvana CD in the drive & have a quick listen.
