Is anyone else as excited as I am about this movie? I hope it turns out. The previews leave a bit to be desired, but you never know. Have any on of you seen the previews?
Go here and check out the official website. They have previews and all sorts of cool stuff.
I want to download new graemlins to add to the small number that I have. I saw some really cool ones on another hit. I tried to cop it as a [img] but it wouldn't work
can't wait to see the HULK, he's always been one of my favorites..although my girlfriend isn't to excited about seeing it ..I just tell her it's a guy thing

I've seen the HULK movie trailer, although I can't remember where. It is one of the summer flicks that I'm really excited to see. Loved the HULK TV series as a kid. I just really hope that they don't ruin my fond childhood memories. I'll be really bummed if they do...Of course, if they do ruin it, then maybe I'll get mad enough and some weird chemical reaction will occur and I'll bust right out of shirt....One can only hope!

Hey Tony, I think I got the email notification thing fixed. Sorry about that. I had accidentally clicked the "notify moderator" box when new post arrives, and since you are one of the mods you were getting one.
On the graemlins, there were some on another board that I liked, and they were in an animated gif format, which works on this board typically, so I just tried to add it using the "image" function, but it didn't work! Is there a site where you can download those types of things?
Hey JP I saw those Graemlins you were talking about, pretty cool.....but this was the best I could do. I don't know what the problem is but they just won't show up.
Maybe TS will have better luck

Now, the flick I'm already looking forward to is "King Kong" by Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings director).
COOL! Now THAT would be great! Course, even better than a Peter Jackson version would be a Peter Greenaway version! No, that would be too dark and demented. Nevermind.
Well, if Jackson did it, I would certainly line up at the theater and fork over my $7.

X-Men, very good.
Spider Man, very good.
Batman, ranges from not bad to crud.
Daredevil, someone should poke Ben Affleck in the eye.
Yep, yep, yep, and yep. Pretty much agree with you across the board on that one. Although I do wish they had spent a little more time on the CGI with Spiderman. Good story though. Cannot WAIT for X2 to come out! That one looks fabulous. Have you heard that they are going to do Fantastic Four?
I had heard about the Fantastic Four project, but I know almost nothing about it.
The interesting thing about a lot of the the CGI in Spiderman is that Director Sam Rami (Evil Dead, Army of Darkness, Darkman, Quick & the Dead, etc), wanted the buildings and surroundings to have a comic book look (because he was shooting a comic book movie). So he intentionally scaled back on the perfect realism in exchange for a less textured / pen-drawn appearance.
All that said, what Rami saw as an artistic device was largely viewed as shoddy CGI by both audience and reviewers alike. I think we've become so accustomed to perfect CGI that anything less has become distracting.
I know teenagers who can't stand to watch the old Star Wars movies. Plastic models hung from fishing line! They just can't buy into it.
John, I tend to agree with you on the city scapes. The CGI really worked for me on that. It had a larger than life feel to it. It was mainly the character animation with which I had the problem.
BTW, here is an article I found about Fantastic Four:
------------------------------------------------
Writer Michael France talked earlier this year to the St. Petersburg Times about writing The Fantastic Four, for which he will probably recieve "Story By" credits, if it gets made...
His screenplay for the Fantastic Four was delivered to Twentieth Century Fox five years ago and cameras still haven't rolled. "The reason is that it's unbelievably expensive," France said. "It's probably one of the most expensive comic book movies you can make with special effects shots to portray the characters."
For the uninitiated, the Fantastic Four is a crime-fighting quartet made up of the extremely malleable Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, the Thing (who could give the Hulk a tussle) and the Human Torch. They are a dysfunctional extended family whose members can't hide their super powers like heroes with secret identities. For that reason, France estimated the movie would cost nearly $200-million to produce, compared with around $130-million for Spider-Man.
"Spider-Man, I guess, is only Spider-Man for about 30 percent of the movie, something like that," France said. "With Fantastic Four, the Thing is in effect in every shot. Mr. Fantastic is in effect in every shot. Even outside of action sequences, the comedy always revolves around the Thing and the Torch fighting at home, so even the comic relief scenes are, like, a million dollars per minute."
Director Chris Columbus (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone) took a crack at France's script five years ago and couldn't get a handle on the material. Neither could four subsequent directors.
"The problem they keep running into is that, no matter what you do, it's too expensive," he said. "The Hulk is not a cheap movie to make, but all they've got to deal with is one character and a villain. With Fantastic Four, you've got the four of them plus a villain. In my script, the villain was Dr. Doom, so there's a lot of expense in that, too."
