DM's Deadly Review - The Incredible Hulk (2008 Film)
I'm not against watching a superhero movie by any means. Something about a completely fictitous character saving the day always attracted me. Hell, my favorite movie of all time is Christopher Nolans 'Batman Begins'. But thats not what we are here to talk about.
Since the 2003 adaption of the comic book series, Hulk fans everywhere have been crying for a movie that actually acurately describes the Incredible Hulk storyline. They wanted a movie that wasent complete **** to put it simply. Well, I must tell you, this is what they got.
I am not going to be completely soft on the movie, because there were a few flaws. For one, when I watched the movie, I was lost for a few minutes. It started pretty blandly. I actually at one point thought to myself, "Did I walk into a different movie?". But it picked up afterwards. I did read a few Hulk comics back in the day, and I can tell you, it did acurately describe what happened.
This movie is actually quite hard to talk about without spoiling the **** out of it, but ill try.
The action in the movie was superb! Most people go into a Hulk movie expecting some gigantic green monster completely destroying a city, and that, my friends, is what they got. Infact, they got two! The Abomination is the perfect villan to start the Hulk series on. Like the Iron Monger in Ironman, it was pretty much an equal fight from the view of the fans. But overall, the action is just what made this movie. When I was in there, my heart was racin with the suspense and the story, and I just couldent wait for the next action packed scene. THE ACTION IS WHAT MADE THIS MOVIE!
The storyline seemed to drag on a bit. The basic plot included Bruce Banner (The Hulk) running from the U.S. Military because they want to duplicate what happened to him. I wont go any further than that.
This is my first Deadly Review so it wont be as indepth as the next ones probably will be. But allow me to give you my verdict on the five traits I choose to rate this movie on.
ACTION: A+
STORYLINE: C
ACTING: A
REWATCH VALUE: B
SPECIAL EFFECTS: B

A patient who chopped up people into pieces was apparently possessed by Satan. This episode was a really good episode because it combined a lot of great thing people love about the x-files.

The X-Files Via Negativa Avg Score: 8.18 Total Ratings: 117 Total Reviews: 3 |
One more murder happens to a homeless man by the same man, and this gives Doggett bigger clues as to where he was, seeing as he made a phone call to one man by the pay phone by the homeless man. The case soon gets very personal with Doggett once he starts getting strange dreams. Dreams involving the case. At the end, Doggett has a dream about waking Skully, but is awoken before it happened.
This episode was just...weird. Very good installment. Just weird.

The X-Files Hungry Avg Score: 8.22 Total Ratings: 155 Total Reviews: 10 |
Fox Mulder and Dana Skully thought that they had a prime suspect, until he went missing. Mulder pretty much knew what was responsible for the string of murders. He knew that it was from some kind of a ginetic mutation. By the end of the episode, Fox Mulder realizes that it was one of the least obvious witnesses to the crime that was responsible for the killings. The kid gets shot by Mulder at the end of the episode.
This episode was special in one way. It was unique. I could not even think in my head a story like that one. In conclusion, this episode was a great addition to the X-Files.

The X-Files William Avg Score: 8.10 Total Ratings: 134 Total Reviews: 8 |
The majority of the episode is spent trying to figure out the identity of this severly burned man. But when he is proven to have injected an unknown metal substance into William, the story takes a turn.
During the episode, the man was identified as Agent Fox Mulder, but Skully does not think it is him. Later in the episode, his identity is revealed as Agent Spender, who was believed to be dead after being shot by his father.
This episode ended with William being adopted. In conclusion, this episode was very special. Probably the best of the series.

Me playing bass/snare/hi-hat to "Superman" (Scrubs theme). All feedback welcome but go easy on me... I've only been playing six months and this is the first song I've learned.
