I'm in one of my quiz moods yet again...

Goddess of the Night. Beautiful yet a strange
darkness and sadness lurk about you.


What element would you rein over? (For Girls)
brought to you by Quizilla



You come from the Ocean. You've always been drawn
to the sea, the sound of the waves, the crystal
blue water, near the sea is where you belong.


Where Did Your Soul Originate?
brought to you by Quizilla




You are Wolverine!

A loner by nature, you feel uncomfortable when
around those you don't know and even those you
do. You are awkward when it comes to
relationships, but fiercely loyal to those you
love.


Which X-Men character are you most like?
brought to you by Quizilla



You are ice. You have a cold exterior but a warm
heart.


What element is your soul?
brought to you by Quizilla




Neutral:
Harmony and balance is key. You don't look at the
world in a negative or positive way and you'll
never judge or assume a situation- you just
look at the facts. People like you are peaceful
and accepting.

The Hulk

I went to see "The Hulk" last tuesday (30.07-03), and thought it was about time I wrote my review, so here goes:

It wasn't as crappy as I had expected, but it wasn't good either. I liked the casting and characthers. This is the first movie I've seen with Jennifer Connelly where I haven't had flashbacks to "Requiem for a dream".
I pretty much could tell from the start that this would be a long movie. My biggest complaints are that Ang Lee is trying waaay to hard to be artistic with this movie. The cartoon boxes work in a couple of scenes, but he overdid it. We did not need to see a bloody helicopter from 5 different angles at the same time.
This movie has way to much talking and very little action, now I'm not saying that this is a bad thing, but so much of the talk is unnecessary... it just got so damn boring in the long run. Also the rivalry between Talbot and Bruce made no sense to me, yes, they were both a little hung up on the same girl, and had different sides on the whole who should control the lab thing but that isn't enough for the hate we see on screen.
The scene where Bruce first turns into the Hulk was very silly, and I have to admit I didn't completely get what the trigger was.
Finally, the Hulk cgi is NOT as good as the people behind this movie claim, he looks like one of Shrek's buddies. Comparing this to Gollum is a F*** insult to Weta, Andy Serkis and Peter Jackson.
Now to the stuff I actually liked in this movie: You can to some extent relate to the characther, but I guess that might not be obvious to everybody, but just to make it clear I'm focusing on the human element here. Now, Bruce Banner is a sulky characther, but you understand why he's sad and he makes an effort not to be too much of a downer, he's serious without being whiny.

In closing I must say that I still feel that the "X-Men" movies are my favorite comic-book adaptations.

A Little Addition to the Previous post

Just thought I should add my ranking of the comic-book movies that have been released lately.

1.) X-Men & X2
Good screenplay, acting, and basis for thinking "what if?". These movies are also a good study of human nature and prejudice. I love the introductions in these movies, coz they get you thinking right from the start. Also, if you put yourselves in the so-called baddies shoes, you understand why they're doing what they're doing, and I really liked that.

2.) Daredevil
Yes, this movie has loads of plotholes and I'm sorry to say a very simplistic end-fight. But the characther of Matt Murdoc is likeable. He's been through so much shit in his life, and has all right to crawl into a corner and cry, but he doesn't, he makes the best of it and stands up for what he believes in.

3.) The Hulk
Again, this movie wins because of the characther, he's likeable. But that's about it for this movie. Just read the post below...

4.) Spiderman
I can't stand this movie. Spiderman is a sulky whiny little brat who would focus on the bad thngs in a puppy. Of course he has a right to mourn his uncle, but the movie starts out with him being whiny... and Kirsten Dunst (who I actually like as an actress) was totally mis-cast in this movie. The movie is a downer, not one happy person, well, maybe the aunt, but she doesn't have much screen-time. Everybody is sad about everything... Geez people! Just go drown yourselves if everythings so F*** bad.
