Uber, i read a bit of comics when I was younger. But what would so bad about Punsisher. I personally want to know. I liked that movie. Kicked ass.
And as for the Hulk movie…I never read a hulk comic for storyline. I wanted to see him fighting Abomination, the Wrecking Crew, or Thor. That’s why that movie was not loved. But the movie looked good, people were just expecting some grand fighting and shit.
And the guy who disliked the X-men 3 movie, what was wrong with how Wolvie acted. Want your opinions. I mainly hated how they were on Logan’s nuts the entire time.[/quote]
The Punisher chose a good leading actor. What they didn’t do was make it dark enough. It was like they didn’t know whether to make this just for kids or allow it to be much more graphic. the Punisher in the newer graphic novels blows people’s brains all over the place and rips their chin off…all while never even blinking.
He doesn’t care if he dies and usually has a body count matching both World Wars. That was why some fans thought it fell short. It didn’t “suck”, but it wasn’t what it could have been.
The Hulk made sense on film…and I think that alone is where they lost some of the audience. They explained why he alone would survive a gamma radiation blast when all other creatures would die. That NEEDED to be explained to anyone who knew science up to the 11th grade level.
They spent the time doing that and lost the audience that simply wanted to see shit blow up. The bottom line is, action movies usually have very little thought behind them. You blow shit up, kill some people and then let the pieces fall where they may. I don’t think people understood that Banner was the real story…not the Hulk.
I liked the concept, but thought they fell way short with how they made the Hulk look. That child like face fucked everything.
X-Men 3 just ran though and wasted about 20 freaking years of stories and killed people off in 2 seconds who actually had some life in the pages and in the cartoon shows. Spike dead? That’s Storm’s nephew and he dies fighting Wolverine in the woods in 15 seconds? Why?
It was like someone put the faces of all the characters on a bunch of playing cards, shuffled them, and then threw them on the ground. From there, they just randomly chose people to show on screen. Wolverine rips shit up and has blood everywhere in the comics. He’s an animal. He’s the Dirty Harry of the comic book world. When they want someone to find the Hulk and kill him…they go to Wolverine.
However, did we even see blood in these movies? You have three steak knives growing out of each hand and no blood gets anywhere? The whole movie should have been red. It looked great and I WILL buy the DVD, but they completely fucked over some good characters that almost needed their own movie.
Well, that’s what I think.
