The Watchmen is Coming


I am also excited when a movie adaptation of a comicbook series or character comes along like them Batman, Xmen, Spiderman and Hulk franchises and some one shots like 300 and V for Vendeta or the Crow even. And from watching this Watchmen trailer awhile ago it gave me goosebumps all over. Wow, so true to the comic book and so cool was it even this early on I can say that it will be a winner. Im looking forward to it, although its still on 2009, good things come to those who wait, as they say. A classic just like its original comicbook version. Hope so. Watch it and tell me what you think. If anyone one wants an ebook version of the comicbook to go read and enjoy, I can gladly pinpoint you with the appropriate download links (is this legal?!!). Hehehe...

HULK Smash!!!


Just wanna say a huge HULK SMASH!!! to all of yous...

Saw the movie last night and it made me a hulk fan again. Alot of cameos were present in the movie, like Lou Ferigno playing the security guard again and Stan Lee playing popping up again for the nth time in any Marvel movie franchise as expected nowadays. The final 3 minutes of the show which, like the Ironman movie last month, mentioning about the Avengers forming up was a really nice touch, implying of the soon to be movie in 2011. All in all, Edward Norton nailed the role of Bruce Banner unlike 2003's effort by director Ang Lee, hey, its just me thinking out loud anyway.

Yes, I've seen the TV version of it ages ago and really felt what actor Bill Bixby was aiming for by playing the lonely alienated Dr. Banner and his alter ego the smash raging Hulk played by the incomparable Lou Ferigno. The movie was kinda like a tribute to that and more. Honestly, I can't recall whether 2003's Hulk movie or this one stayed true to form with regards to the Hulks' origins but I know this for sure, it all boils down to them Gamma Rays dude, rock n' roll!! Sure, I've watched the cartoon version of it also ages ago and shamefully I only have Marvel Comics' 1999 1st issue of the revived Hulk by Byrne and Garney and never got the chance to collect the subsequent issues religiously, still, the Incredible Hulk was always close to my heart. He is included in my top five list of favorite Heroes and Villains if I ever would make one. I always am fascinated whenever I see a pin-up of the Hulk on the net or on posters or on tshirts, heck, I always like seeing superheroe laden items on sale for that matter. Anyways, if you haven't seen the movie yet, consider watching Mr. Green in this version of a multitude of versions to this ever stable Marvel franchise. Nuff said...
