Thanks for the reviews. Seems the action's okay, but hampered by being geared for general audiences (or at least, PG-13), and the plotting's lacking. Which is sad, because frankly, the easiest thing in the world to do is depict violence in a film.
A teenaged Thor. No thanks, I'll completely pass on that. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mr. Worf" <hellomahog...@gmail.com> To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, February 2, 2010 1:11:43 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [scifinoir2] Hulk vs Thor and Hulk vs Wolverine Hulk vs Thor This is two movies on one dvd. I can't find the original post that I wrote about this movie, but if you really want to see the true power of Hulk this is the movie for you. Dr. Banner is kidnapped by Loki (the estranged half brother of Thor) as part of a plot to attack Asgard. The fighting in this movie is intense. If there was blood or body parts in this movie it would have gotten an R rating! If you have ever wondered what would happen if Hulk went against Thor unimpeded by Dr.Banner. Here is your chance. One thought big green fist smashing a face into a bolder. Ouch... My only complaint is that it is lacking in back story that we got to see in some of the other movies. In this movie all of the characters are well established. You really do not know why they are fighting but that they must. One thing for sure Hulk can kick some butt. 2.5 out of 5 ----- Hulk vs Wolverine This movie takes a completely different approach toward story telling. They start out with Wolverine on a mission to find a missing US secret weapon codename: Hulk. Then take a trip down memory lane complete with a meeting with his old team mates, Weapon X. Deadpool is his hilarious self. There is much more blood in this film. Which was almost surprising but unlike the first film it is almost gratuitous. Unfortunately, both films are much too short to be a complete movie or even a complete story. Which left me feeling a little disappointed. This is more of a fanboy movie that was put together for them with a few allowances for newbies. I can't reconmmend it to people that are new to the series because there are way too many call backs to the stories over many years and comics. One caveat is the DVD was a sneak preview of the movie Thor: Tales of Asgard (due out 2011). It focuses on a teenage Thor and all of the characters from the series. The live action version of Thor is due out late 2011. There is also an Avengers movie due out in 2012. 1.5 out of 5 -- Celebrating 10 years of bringing diversity to perversity!
