Hulk: The Incredible Conversation/Scathing Review

With your hosts Branden "B182bwb" Buehler and KC "KCNile" Costanzo

KCNile: went to see the hulk after that with my two of my friends and morgan
KCNile: my god did that movie suck
B182bwb: well, duh
KCNile: but. it was beyond bad. it was . . . . horrible. like a bad dream
B182bwb: just count the days 'till shaolin soccer
B182bwb: that will counter the crappiness of hulk
KCNile: er
KCNile: i dont think anything can counteract the shittyness of the hulk
KCNile: you couldn't actually see the big fight scene at the end because its almost completely black. im not even sure what the bad guy looked like at the end
KCNile: and there is no plot
B182bwb: but... did HULK SMASH
KCNile: yes. . . over and over and over again. id say the second half of the movie consisted primarily of hulk taking five mile leaps and then hitting a helicopter or tank and throwing it into a mountain side or something while everyone in the theater laughed
B182bwb: people laughed?
KCNile: yes. pretty much throughout the movie
KCNile: people would laugh whenever hulk did anything
B182bwb: because the people were stupid... or the movie was stupid
KCNile: the movie was stupid. for instance, at the end of the movie he explodes and everyone thinks hes dead. but it turns out he went to south america and became a medicine man for no reason at all.
B182bwb: really?
KCNile: and then someone steals his medicine and he says "you wouldn't like me when im angry" in spanish and the movie ends
KCNile: yes
KCNile: really
B182bwb: that's pretty bad
KCNile: no kidding
KCNile: one of the bad guys he fights is a mutant poodle
B182bwb: and people actually wrote the script?
B182bwb: not monkeys?
KCNile: im not sure exactly
KCNile: they tried really hard to make it look like a comic book so there were transitions every five seconds and split screens almost all the time. sometimes the split screens showed the same things only at slightly different angles
B182bwb: but comic books.... don't move
B182bwb: I read some review that talked about how great that was, and just thought, "wow, that would suck to watch"
KCNile: indeed it did
KCNile: it was really confusing. the first half of the movie is pretty much banner experimenting with stuff and then watching it explode. like, for instance, a frog.
B182bwb: that sounds cool
KCNile: probably the best scene in the movie
B182bwb: that's a better peak than some movies
B182bwb: how fake looking was the hulk?
KCNile: um, i dunno. he looked pretty fake but i dont know how much of that was the graphics or the fact that its hard to make a green giant look realistic
B182bwb: well, as long he wasn't jolly
KCNile: the thing that didnt make sense was that he could jump like a mile into the air and a mile far. doesnt really work even given his proportions.
B182bwb: but... he's the hulk
B182bwb: he can do whatever he wants
B182bwb: because he's mad
B182bwb: and anger is cool
KCNile: right. forgot about that
KCNile: i wasnt really sure if we were supposed to like him or not. he kept killing people
B182bwb: that was an attempt to make you feel "conflicted"
B182bwb: and it was supposed to make you go "that was a thought-provoking movie"
KCNile: indeed. i had many thoughts after the movie such as "why was the hulk such a jack ass?" and "did i really just spend more than two hours in that theater?"
B182bwb: so, it was thought-provoking
B182bwb: so, it was thus worth your money and time
KCNile: i . . . i never looked at it that way
B182bwb: you are not a qualified movie-goer
KCNile: i guess you're right. thank god we have abby. surely she knows how to watch a movie properly
B182bwb: yes, thank goodness
B182bwb: she will surely praise the movie for all of it's worth
KCNile: yes. . . i dont doubt that she will.
