The Hulk

The Hulk is rotten? Is anybody else besides me baffled by the poor response this 'blockbuster' is getting? I know this isn't moviefilter, but me and a buddy have a theory on this one. We think the crap reviews from America for this show reveals something both the left and right share in the USofA.

I thought Spiderman was exceptionally mediocre too.

Rotten? - Nope. It's just an' inedible bulk' stand in for the US psyche, which just recently 'bulked out' in Iraq. 'Bulk' is not ''real' or substantial - it's more of a teenage fantasy.

Rage will solve your problems? - NOT- (ok,..............)

Let's bulk!

The Hulk's relative failure at the box office is a result of the disappointing initial trailer and the crappy effects it showcased. Anyone who is worried that digital actors will replace real ones anytime soon should study The Hulk trailer and the overrated Burly Brawl from Matrix Reloaded for relief from their anxiety.

Maybe this means that people are tired of being overwhelmed by eyecandy in action movies and want better story lines.

Well, I'd like to know which comic-book-based films have been huge successes.

Personally I thought the Hulk was pretty good, but then again I had no expectations for it.
