We Finally Watched THE INCREDIBLE HULK Patreon Link: / theperfectmix Buy Me A Coffee: www.buymeacoffee.com/ThePerfe... PayPal: paypal.me/theperfectmix ----------------------------------------------------
Hell yeah dude. Now don't get me wrong I like the original 2003 movie too especially after watching a few videos kind of going into detail about certain things with how it was filmed and stuff like that, but 2008 hulk is my favorite by far
Honestly it took me a loooong ass time to accept Mark ruffalo as hulk, and it's only because I knew he was going to be the only hulk going forward. Norton hulk was my favorite.
Did you guys know that the security guard he gave the pizza to was Lou Ferrigno. He play the hulk on the 70’s TV show “The Incredible Hulk”. He’s still looking good for his age. He also used to compete against Arnold Schwarzenegger in bodybuilding competitions. Keep up the great reactions. Enjoying them a lot. Take care.
Also Leonard Samson (Betty's boyfriend) is a huge important hulk character Ty Burrell (actor who plays him) said he's been in talks to play Dr Samson He's Bruce's psychologist and helps him deal with psychological issues, he gets some of Bruce's gamma dna in him and gets bigger and stays in that state but he gets green hair (sometimes longer , usually he cuts it short) and green eyes and can go toe to toe with the hulk for a few hours
That 3rd transformation always gets me with how painful it is for Bruce Banner to transform into the Hulk. Also, one of Hulk's abilities is that he draws more strength from his anger. The angrier he gets, the more powerful he becomes. it shows that Hulk can bench-press a tank without breaking a sweat, but his strength is virtually limitless.
The guy that plays the security guard at the front desk is Lou Ferrigno, THE ORIGINAL HULK. Also really looking forward to ur thoughts on Transformers the Last Knight when u get to it.
@@jmon24ify now that part I never knew until a few months back. He finally got to talk and say the Hulk’s phrase. My grandmother showed me the tv show as a kid
Everybody misses the 1st one with Bana They go straight to the Norton movie. See You're missing information. if you saw the 1st movie you'd know that her dad was the general.
In the original development of the Marvel characters, from the standpoint of just pure physical strength, The Hulk was the strongest, followed by Thor, then The Thing then Spider-Man. Hulk was a hero/anti-hero, Bruce Banner was a good man, a brilliant scientist, and wanted to help people, but in his Hulk form becomes a raging berserker who causes massive collateral damage but in the end neutralizes the threat. The fact that General Ross triggers the Hulk constantly in his attempts to capture him is a long standing part of the Hulk comics.
The Hulk is the Frankenstein monster and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde mixed together. He was always the misunderstood beast. Never really a monster but always treated as such.
Been looking forward to this one! 😊 R.I.P always to William Hurt, who plays General Thaddeus Ross! This is one of those movies that the more I watch it the more I really enjoy it. Love Edward Norton as Bruce Banner aka the Hulk. And Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky aka the Abomination was perfect casting. Up next in the MCU: "Iron Man 2" Looking forward to your the next reaction. 😊
I love this Hulk. If you notice. Hulk only came out in defense to Bruce's life or to protect. This is difference between Abomination and Hulk. Even with all the anger Hulk wants to protect. I think it is like serum that Captain took. Bruce is compassionate, kind, and protective and the Hulk is just that amplified. Bruce for the longest time didn't bond with the Hulk because he thought of Hulk as his bad side, when really it is just Bruce's protective persona. When Bruce starts to bond with Hulk and he is able to talk as you see in the end. That is why I love the Hulk he thinks of himself as monster but really, he is a protector at heart. Abomination is to show you what would happen if a horrible person got that power.
This is easily my favorite Hulk, either in a solo movie or an MCU ensemble movie. I'm very disappointed that Ed Norton didn't come back/wasn't brought back. Regarding Stan Lee, he co-created many of the classic Marvel superheroes, including Spider-Man, The Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, the Fantastic Four, Black Panther, the X-Men, and many, many more. His cameos in these movies are great!
The Hulk in the comics has such a rich history. Great story lines. There are plenty more Hulk's in the Hulk Marvel Universe. Little trivia for you, the Security Guard that he gave the pizza to. That was Lou Ferrigno who played the original Hulk in the 1970's TV series. The TV show he was watching while cooking, was The Courtship of Eddie's Father. A TV show that Bill Bixby was on. Bill Bixby played the original Dr. Banner in the 1970's TV series. And you're right, for this movie coming out in 2008, the graphics were pretty good for it's time. LOVED your reaction. Can't wait to see the other MCU reactions, as well as the others. ;-)
I know it's been 7 months but fun fact about the Hulk/ Marvel is that the project Bruce was working on was an attempt to replicate the Captain America super solider serum. Wolverine was Weapon X and Captain America was Weapon 1. Hulks project was separate but it was confirmed that the hulk is one of Banner different personalities that his brain created from the abuse he took from his father.
Not true, he is still pretty accurate and it’s after Ragnarok that he gets nerfed a lot. Avengers 2012 is WAYYYY stronger than this Hulk that even struggled to lift Ross army cars and Ragnarok Hulk showed Thor how strong he got when he got angrier and was able to catch Thor attack like nothing, it even scared Thor, it wasn’t until Thor started using his powers that he was able to start overpowering the Hulk.
Mr Blue, who had Hulk's blood drop onto his brain at the end, probably turned into The Leader (not in the MCU yet). A character that has the strength of the Hulk but as intelligence. Still hope to see this character in a movie! Thanks for your reaction, great and entertaining as always!
Fun fact: the scene when Betty gives Bruce the purple shorts is a nod to The Incredible Hulk 70’s tv series that Hulk would wear and also in the comics.
Oh my god, I didn’t even noticed that with first watch…. good eye I do remember they had Lou Ferrigno in here who played the tv version when he transformed.
I would definitely take note of the way Banner's eyes turned green when he opened them after he was injected for the first time. I will bring this up in one of your later movie reactions to explain to you why, but it's a very important detail Edit: - The purple pants that Elizabeth got for Bruce that were giant were a nod to the iconic purple pants from the comics that Hulk always wore - When Mr. Blue said that Blonsky would turn into an "abomination," it was a nod to his name in the comics: Abomination (that's the name of Blonsky after he turns into the giant "monster") -Important scene to take into account for it to make sense later is the very end when Banner's eyes turn green, but he doesn't transform (last scene before credits) - 24:01 This scene with the eyes will become very important later -Please keep note of the "serum" that Ross and Blonsky went to get from the freezer room (This scene and the one I listed above about the eyes are quite important) I definitely recommend watching some breakdown videos in case you were interested in all the little details that relate to the other movies in the MCU, you'd be very excited to see how they all connect as one giant universe and make you want to nerd out for the rest of the movies ;)
(1) Dr. Banner was trying to recreate super soldier serum that created Captain America. The experiment went wrong and he turned himself into the Hulk. One major trait of super soldier serum is not just amplifying physical trait but also mind of a person, so bad man usually turns into evil/worse. (2) Actor Edward Norton was replaced cuz he wants control of his own movie: script change, etc… Marvel wasn’t having any of that; thats why he was replaced by Mark Ruffalo. (3) The original actor playing Colonel Rhodey was replaced simply cuz he asked too much money for continue to play the role😂
Also wanted to point out that Fun Fact: Mark Ruffalo was actually the director Louis Leterrier’s first choice for the role of Bruce Banner in this movie, but Universal insisted on Edward Norton because he was more famous at the time.
It honestly makes me sad that Edward never got to play hulk after this movie. I understand that Hollywood is a business at the end of the day, but if you’re gonna replace him with Mark, could they at least given him a solo movie? There is no reason why Hulk hasn’t had a movie in 15 years
There's actually a reason for that and it's due to rights issues. Universal has the film rights for the character and that's why Marvel hasn't made a solo film for him and are only able to use him as a secondary character on other things. Apparently Disney wants to trade Hulu for the Hulk and Namor film rights so there's hope well see one sooner than later.
@@JeffZ1028 that’s a problem for me, it shouldn’t take 15 years to try and work out a deal for a hulk movie. He was one of the only marvel heroes that were “a-list” before the mcu, and he needs better treatment. Disney doesn’t even completely own Spider-Man, they share with Sony, and if they were able to put out an entire trilogy before hulk got a sequel, there’s something wrong.
@@BigReek99 I don't disagree with you man, they definitely did Hulk dirty but it seems they're setting up more story with his character so there's still a chance to see something done with him story-wise down the road. Let's s just hope it's good.
The security guard that he gave the pizza to that's the original incredible hulk is name is Luke ferrigno and yes Betty Ross is the daughter of general Phineas Ross
The security guard he gave the pizza to was Lou Ferrigno, the original Hulk actor back in the 70s to 90s. You guys should have watched the 2003 Hulk with Eric Bana. Its the first one.
True, and the first film where we got to see the Hulk do almost ALL the power stunts he can do in the comics! (The 3-mile leaps, throwing tanks like the Olympic hammer toss, etc. Although he DID do his infamous Thunder Clap fighting the Abomination!) The only real flaw other than his being too bright a green and not as good muscle definition is him growing. The Hulk's height only changes in response to WHICH Hulk personality is running the body at the time, and "Devil" (the Immortal Hulk) and Green Scar are only around 8 - 9 feet tall.
Stan Lee is the guy who created almost every comic book character you know about today. The sheer number of characters and stories he created is staggering.
*co-created. Many characters were further written and fleshed out by the artists themselves as per the Marvel Method of comics; the writer and artist spitball the story, the artist draws the book, and then the writer fills in the dialogue. You have Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko to thank for much of the classic Marvel characters as well. Stan had the initial ideas and general plot and dialogue, while the artists created the world and character behavior that's most commonly associated bank with characters like Spider-Man, Thor, Iron Man, The Hulk and many more!
Good catch, realizing that Doctor Ross had the same surname as General Ross. You're the first one I've seen catch that. I missed it my first time, myself. The reason Edward Norton was replaced was because he wanted too much creative control. As it was he came in and rewrote the script for this movie, which originally began as a sequel to Ang Lee's _Hulk._ That had caused a lot of stress between him, the director, and the studio, so when he wanted even more control, Marvel wasn't going to go for it. Too, I think Mark Ruffalo does a much better job as Banner. I _like_ Norton as an actor, but he doesn't do the "science nerd" very well. He has too much energy, too action-oriented. Ruffalo can "pull into himself" and be a believable nerd, and can hint at the Hulk beneath quite well.
(At 22:07) Banner is Mr. Green. Dr. Samuel Sterns is Mr. Blue. But later on he does become the villain known as "The Leader" As strong as The Hulk is, The Leader is just as intelligent.
For me this version of hulk in this movie is the best one👍🔥. The title ‘The Incredible Hulk’ fits this version of Hulk to perfection. Edward Norton did a great playing Bruce Banner aka ‘Hulk’👏👏. I loved the design of the antagonist played by Tim Roth aka ‘The Abomination’ as he looked really scary and menacing👍. I’m really looking forward to your reaction and analysis. Looking forward to the MCU journey🔥. Take care and have a good one😁🔥
I like the Incredible hulk in the Avengers even if it did not make total sense that he was working with the team. But this movie is better than most people say it is. Abomination and the hulk really get shafted after the 1st Avengers movie. I know Abomination was not in the MCU after this until much later. But this movie is closer to the comics than any other. it is a good movie. I just want to see more of Hulk trashing everything. More Hulk smash!!
Fun fact : the general who wants to capture Bruce banner . He was able to get a sample of his DNA and reverse engineer it than he uses it on him making him “The Red Hulk “
(At 29:20) shield? Those are his boxing gloves. If you remember the old Incredible Hulk universal studio video games, you'd remember him tearing a car in half doing THAT.
The part with Betty getting him the purple shorts is kind of a throwback to how he originally looked or well his second look as the big green monster with the purple pants. Lol It did look funny though
That Jiu Jitsu instructor is an absolute LEGEND (the whole Gracie family is). Rickson Gracie. Also, the guy he delivered the Pizza too, that's Lou Ferigno, the original Hulk from the TV series.
There was a recasting because while Ed Norton is a great actor, he is also known to be very difficult to work with. He tries to rewrite scripts and gain creative control of the movies he is in. It seems to have worked for most of the stuff he has been in, but you can see why directors wouldnt want to cast him.
Your face when you saw Tony Stark, AKA Ironman in the end credit scene just makes want to watch every reaction to see your face at the end credits of every movie. You’re in for a surprise!
One thing that many people don't know: that guy that slaps Bruce at the beginning of the movie, the martial arts teacher, is Rickson Gracie, one of the greatest Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighters ever. Participated in a lot of fights at the beginning of the UFC (and in other tournaments), and is claimed to have finished his career undefeated.
I don’t know if you noticed, but in the factory when he first turns into the hulk and they throw the smoke bomb at him, you can hear Hulk say “leave me alone”
The best part of your reaction was seeing your faces light up with pure joy like you just tasted ice cream for the very first time. Priceless. Thanks for the reaction!😄
Very underrated movie, IMO. Ed Norton, who is one of my favorite actors, was not replaced because he did a poor job acting. There were various creative differences and personality clashes with people at Marvel apparently leading to Norton either not wanting to reprise the role or not being asked back... so he was recast. Rhodey (from Iron Man) got recast because he was asking for too much money. In general the casting and acting in Marvel films has been excellent across the board so that's never been the issue. Betty Ross (Liv Tyler) is rumored to be coming back for the Thunderbolts movie which will star "Thunderbolt" Ross (her father, though played by a different actor because William Hurt passed away unfortunately), and The Leader (Tim Blake Nelson aka Mr. Blue) is set to finally make his return in Captain America: New World Order. Both films will be part of Marvel Phase 5. Oh, and Tim Roth who played Blonsky aka Abomination made his return in Shang-Chi in Phase 4, and was also a major character in the Disney + series She Hulk.
The previous Hulk (starring Eric Bana) isn't labeled MCU but the story was the prequel of this. I was gonna suggest to watch that one also, but too late now 😂😂😂
Everyone is mentioning Lou Ferrigno (which is an amazing cameo), but the pizza man that Bruce works for is actually the original voice actor for Spider-Man! He voices Spidey in the classic 1967 cartoon!
(At 11:47) You want nostalgia? THIS actor was famous for playing _The_ "original" _Incredible Hulk_ from 1978… Lou Ferrigno. Keep in mind, the actors that played David Banner, yes that's what his name was in the series, and The Incredible Hulk are two different people. David Banner was played by _Billy Bixby,_ who died of prostate cancer in 1993. The Incredible Hulk itself was played by _Lou Ferrigno,_ and is still alive.
You know about the end credits scenes. You know about the Stan Lee cameos. A third thing to watch for is that nearly every MCU movie has someone falling/jumping/ejecting from an airplane or helicopter.
Edward Norton was a far superior Banner/Hulk than Mark Ruffalo. It still annoys me that they took one of the most iconic figures in all of the MCU and eventually turned him into a complete joke. The primary reason why Norton ended up leaving is because he felt that Banner/Hulk should remain the serious and tragic character that you see in this film. The studio, however, decided they wanted him to become a big green clown because they felt that the Hulk was "too powerful" and "too scary".
"LEAVE HULK ALONE!!!" Lou Feringo (the huge security guard) played Hulk (live action 80s), then voiced him here and in the 90s cartoon series. My theory: this Hulk is imprisoned in a Skrull prison and Mark Ruffalo's Hulk is an imperfect clone.
I just want to point out how strong Hulk is. In the comics, he once held together a planet. Literally. He just jumped in there and held two tectonic plates together with his hands.
Best, most accurate Hulk as of yet. This one is the rawest one. And Tim Roth did a great job. 0:22- Wait, like the actress from "Fired Up" Shoshana Bush!!!
Stan Lee rest his soul was a the creator of Marvel. He was such a sweet man from what people have told me and have meet him. FYI the police officer that he gave the pizza to was the original Incredible Hulk from the 80's-90's tv show. Lou Ferrigno. He was a bodybuilder that competed alongside Arnold.
This is my fav hulk movie , I remember when i first seen this and i seen the security guard i was like (oh sh*t the original hulk Lou ferrigno ) , the tv series that he was on is really good
Great reaction, guys! And props to Shoshanna* for figuring out the relationship between Betty and General Ross. It's common knowledge to comic book fans, but often a surprise to those who are new to these characters, and to the MCU. Have fun with the next one! *P.S. Apologies if I spelled your name wrong...
I remember when Iron Man came out they were talking about a shared universe. I didn't think much of it because it really hadn't been done before. Then Hulk came out and Tony Stark showed up in the end credit scene. That was the moment I knew the world was in for something special.
This was one of the first superhero movies I saw as a Kid, along with X Men origins: Wolverine, so they are among my favorite superhero movies cause of all the nostalgia I have for them
As a fan of the old show one of the things the director did that I appreciate is that he pulled the show's "30-Minute Rule." In the show, and in the movie, Banner transforms into the Hulk within a window of 30 minutes. To limit the action sequences, make them stand out and develop the drama.
Best part about this movie was having the original Hulk, Luke ferringo. When his eyes changed, they did it just like Luke's hulk. Iconic and very scary.
I've seen this film several times and I realized something I hadn't caught before. I believe the helicopter type that Betty and General Ross are on toward the end is nicknamed "Jolly Green Giant". So a Jolly Green Giant had the Abomination and a "not so jolly" green giant hanging from it.
Stan Lee was the creator of Marvel Comics and most but not all of the characters. He was advisory on later additions but all the originals from the 40s to the 90s at least, are him. Without him Marvel would have never existed.
The side effect to the super soldier serum Brodsky took, is that it not only enhanced his speed, his healing and strength it also brought out his darker personality... It takes a person's essence and enhances that as well....
The opening to this movie is very quick and vague because they were assuming knowledge on the part of the audience. That's mostly because The Incredible Hulk was a hit TV show back in the late 1970s. He was probably Marvel's best-known character to the general public for most of the last century.
Hey, I like the little cameo of Lou Ferrigno as watchman in the univerisity 😄 He played the Hulk in the 70s TV show. The original origin story is that Dr. Banner has been exposed to a massive overdose of gamma rays during an a-bomb test which caused a genetic mutation. Since then, everytime he is stressed, in pain or angry he is transformimg into Hulk, an unbeliveable strong but primitve creature. He also gets stronger and bigger the angrier he gets. This origin has been altered multiple times over the years, but gamma radiation is still the main part and the reason why Banner is so careful about nobody got in contact with his blood. Banner and Hulk are 2 different characters and don't have any memory of each other, like a modern version of Jekyll and Hyde. Bullets can't hurt the Hulk because his muscle structure is so dense, and even if somethings causes a wound it will heal up immediatly. That's why the soldiers attack him with microwave weapons. Bad idea 😂
They knew his location because they followed the source of the drink. To have someone's blood in it, it had to have occurred in the factory because the drink is sealed. So all they had to do was track the source of the drinks production factory.
Agree with other comments, given you are looking at 30+ movies and numerous series the MCU is HUGE. 2 a week would be much better than 1, and would also make it easier to remember stuff from film to film.
MCU history: The super soldier program they were attempting to revive was the one Captain America came from, but instead of using vita-rays, they used gamma, which created a bad result.
18:44 In the early days of the Hulk Comics, the dislike Ross has of Banner's romance with his daughter was obvious --When Betty was injured in the lab accident, Then he had 2 excuses to hate him. Through the years, Betty's never gave up on Banner and loved him until she was killed protecting him around issue #255 ( A little history for ya from Stan, to me ,to you!) But her psychiatrist freind was right--In the comic she was killed because of his overzealous azz.
Fun Fact: In the Comics, Elizabeth Betty Ross’s father, he instigated his Daughter’s transformation into the Hulk known as Red-She Hulk. At that time in the Comics, her Old Man General Ross was already Red-Hulk for quite some time. In the Hulk comics themselves, there’s a lot of Hulk Villains and Heroes who All share the being Exposed to Gamma Rays storyline in one way or another and each have their own Origin story to go along with it.
Not to mention that Betty recently reverted from "Red She-Hulk" to her original 1970s Gamma identity The Harpy, albeit a red version instead of her original green skin, hair, and feathers.
If you guys will do the whole MCU i think maybe you guys should do 2 movies a week if thats possible, cause you guys have a lot to catch up on & a lot of characters to be introduced to
@@egrassa1480 And that's just it, everyone has their favorites and the movies *they* think suck. I personally liked this original 2008 Incredible Hulk movie, but a lot of people out there would have told them to skip it because they didn't like it. The only honest way for total newbies like them to watch the MCU is to see everything in release order. They need to give their honest opinion. If they watch Love & Thunder for example, they can be truthful if they liked it or not. I personally did not but (amazingly) some people loved it. As they say, there is no accounting for taste.
