First, year 2003 Hulk. Now, comes The Incredible Hulk. The trailer is already enough to set my excitement level to go over 200 bpm. The graphics are absolutely stunning, with more realistic texture on the mean, green monster himself, much better than the previous Hulk. Feel the action, the adrenaline, the new HULK!!

Then I went to see the movie, and that's where all my hopes and expectations came to a questionable halt. I'm not going to tell you the story, the trailer itself says it all. This new Hulk has it all; nice story, stunning CGI graphics and animation, and a promising battle of the titans. But I have to say, the film has a very raw feel.

When it comes to the battle of the titans, aka. the Hulk vs Abomination, it was too fast, resulting in a blur, which left me wondering what's going on. But above all, the Hulk doesn't look so powerful. What happened to him, the all-powerful Hulk in the comics?!

Ang Lee's Hulk has this interesting feature, where at certain point of time, one scene would pause, and like a comic book, the camera shifts to another picture ( next scene). Just like reading a comic book. When it comes to the new Hulk, it's just like watching another typical movie. Yes, the graphics are better and good storyline, but lacking the "uumph" that the 1st Hulk had.

To me, I'd rather watch the first Hulk.

Rating: 3/5

Finally! After 19 years, the 4th movie to the franchise has been added. Indiana Jones is back in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystall Skull, donning a dark brown leather jacket, whip, and the famous ol' Indy hat that never leaves his side. This time round, it's not the Nazis anymore who are chasing him, it's the Russians. They are interested in a real-life artifact, the Incan crystal skulls. It is said that the skulls possess great powers, and made by aliens.

Firstly, I've been waiting this movie for quite some time after they announced that they're going to film a 4th Indy movie, so watching it has been a exciting time for me. The movie still has the Indy effect like when watching the previous films, but not as much sadly. I guess when u combine CGI and Indy, it doesn't match up so much, maybe a 80% compatibility.

Secondly, I'm very impressed by the way Harrison Ford retains his character as Indy. It is as though the hero never ages throughout the 19 years. Well, maybe he looks older, but once he dons the archeology suit, he looks as young as before. It is interesting also to see Marion Ravenwood from the 1st film with their son, Shia Lebouf as Mutt Williams, whom he never knew. Shia kicks ass this time, and not running around as in Transformers.

I'm glad I watched this movie, because I grew up watching Indy movies. It fills my satisfaction completely. I would definitely recommend it.
