Whilst Jason Stantham is so wooden in his acting there is something watchable about him normally when he starts to kick arse.
This latest film was a bit of a surprise as it had the feel of an old pinewood studios London based robbery film where immediately you like the bad guys and want them to get away with it even though they are clueless.
overall a very good watch and worth the time to check out. And dare i say it JS wasnt half bad as the role he was playing was hardly a stretch for him.
Not a bad film, funny in places , sweet in places, silly in others. You can see the end coming a mile off.
It you’ve got time to kill worth the watch 5/10
Superhero Movie.
If you’ve wondered where silly slap stick humors gone its here. I am pretty sure you will all hate it. No plot and too many digs at Apple. But for me i still have a soft spot for fart, burp and young ones type humor. laughed all the way through. 7/10
I went to see the new Hulk film last night & here are my thoughts…
Similair in tone to the first Spider-Man movie, The Incredible Hulk is basically a stab at remaking the 70’s TV Show, from the opening credits which are a direct copy to the plot which focuses on Bruce Banner running from place to place trying to cure his unique afflication, although with a few tweaks here & there to update it. Forget the slow, cerebral take of the previous movie, this is going straight to the popcorn market that Spidey tapped into, using a lot of the same tricks to not alienate the general public & still appeal to the comic book geeks out there. There are lots & lots of nods to the comic book throughout which is cool if you’re paying attention & know what you’re looking at but also a massive tie-in to a recent super hero movie that some of us may have enjoyed!
With the Hulk a lot rides on the CGI & they have done an excellent job, not too fast or blurry in general & you can see what’s going on but also not afraid to slow things down & inject some real personality into the Hulk, including some laugh out loud moments.
Overall I really enjoyed it, miles better than Indiana Jones & The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull & different enough to Iron Man so it wasn’t just a re-hash. Now bring on The Dark Knight….
