Marvel Movie News and Views!

I'd say judge for yourself Tony.

Good idea, shouldn't have told you to pass on it. Watch the 2003 one first though, save the best for last.

It will be a case of, if I happen to find a copy at a car boot sale or in a charity shop, and if the price is right.

You'll like the "look" of the '03 Hulk much better I think. The new one was too ripped. I think too many pooped on the '03 one for no reason.

this man speaks the truth.

i still like the newer one better, but the older one is far too maligned to be fair.

Thanks Raptor!

I watched it really expecting to love it. I just found it to be really tedious and not engaging at all. I'm happy to sacrifice special effects for a great story, but just didn't feel that's what happened. Plus, Eric Bana was just horrible. He didn't make you like the character at all.

 

[Conforumist]

I thought Eric Bana was good in '03 one: I thought ed Norton was good in the '08 one. Now, I see Mark Ruffalo is the Hulk in the Avengers. What the heck!?!?! I wish Norton had agreed to do it; maybe he wasn't asked??

After seeing MI4, I think Jeremy Renner is THE coolest guy right now!

Bitter?

Saw the trailer today in the cinema it was good stuff.

Dave maybe you can answer this why are the adverts that bloody load they're almost painful I sure they exceed health & saftey levels for decibels ratings, I've taken to putting in ear bud phones in to stop getting earache.

 

[DaveC]

I can, if the cinema you were in was all digital. Ads and trailers are set to a higher volume to grab attention (they do this on TV too but it's not as noticeable) with 35mm we used to put magnetic pulse strips on the print itself that the projector would read and lower the sound to a more appropriate level and then raise it again for the feature, (this was also how we controlled lights, masking and shutdown automatically). The new digital projectors have no such function and so play everything at the same level. We do have many complaints the same as yours and apparently they are working on a fix.

In short, it's a pain in the arse...

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Thanks as well as a pain in the ear, what made it worse there were only about 10-12 people in thereas it was an early pm viewing.

I know, it sucks! a couple complained the other day because it was loud and the wife had tinnitus but if we'd have agreed to turn it down it would've only been for a minute by the time I got a manager up there to sort it then film would start and it it would be too quiet... :think:

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

The adverts went on for 15 minutes or so, I mistimed the start of the film and went in too early, I try just to get the trailers before the film starts.

Much better, Japanese trailer! Hawkeye and Maria get to speak!

Looks b'chin'!!

No 3D though, right?? I HATE 3D!!

 

[BobtheDrog]

I would guess it will be 3D, probably with special edition glasses for sale in the cinema

 

[DaveC]

Yeah but you'll get the option.

sounds like reshoot. happens alot. and often downplayed. movies like Sphere and Star Trek The motion picture were famously being worked on up until literally the last second..
