Hulk vs Thor & Hulk vs Wolverine

I decided to bulk these two movies together. Yes technically they're different, but the form in which I saw them, they were marketed as a two in one. So lets jump into the plots.

Now these two movies aren't meant to be heavy on the story. They aren't heady, or even intellectually motivated. Just pure action and destruction. The plots only serve to get you to more fighting. We'll start with Hulk vs Thor. The evil Loki jealous of his father's power, brings the Hulk to Asgard to defeat Thor. Hulk being the only being known to him, to have beaten Thor. Hulk smashes, he bashes, and threatens all of Asgard. Finally in order to stop him, Loki has to swallow his pride and help Thor to turn Hulk back to Bruce Banner.

Hulk vs Wolverine had a bit more story to it. It starts off with Wolverine flying through the air and smashing into the ground. Hmm? I wonder why that could be? Then it takes you back to the beginning. Wolverine is hired by S.H.I.E.L.D to find "the monster" attacking a town in Alaska (maybe Canada, who care?). He gets there, and low and behold, the Hulk shows up to fight him. Eventually they both get shot with tranquilizers and are taken to a super secrete bad guy base. They want to use Hulk as a super weapon, and re-brainwash Wolverine to fight for them. Plan is foiled, and lots more fighting.

As you can tell, these two movies are excessively violent. Which is why I loved every minute of them. Lots of blood and killing in vs Thor. Less killing, but more blood in vs Wolverine. Less cursing in vs Thor, tuns more in vs Wolverine. When I say tuns I mean, level of words used. I don't mind, but I know lots of people do. Zero sexual content from what I remember.

The animation style wasn't anything fancy, but it didn't suck either. Each had their own uniqueness. Utilizing the art style of each respective comic book. I found the sound tracks to be quite fitting as well.

When comes down to the end of the day, I loved these two movies. Wolverine is, has, and probably will be my favorite super hero. Thor is pretty kool. I don't hate him by a long shot, but I never really got to know him. Hulk though, being the main character of both features, is awesome. I've always liked the Hulk, from the first time I heard of him. So these match ups, especially Hulk vs Wolverine, were a dream come true. So as a Marvel fan, I give these movies a 8 gamma irradiated fists outta 10. It could have used more fan service (in a non-gay way). For the average view 5 if your female/boring male adult, 7 if you're a teenage boy and want to see blood.

Planet Hulk

Planet Hulk is a movie based off of a comic book series of the same title. It takes place in a future where hulk is sent into outer space, because he is too much of a threat to the earth. He is caught up in a worm hole and crash lands on different planet then the one he was intended to. The planet is inhabited by several different races, with one being the ruling class. Hulk is captured and forced to fight in an arena for the entertainment of the king.

The movies starts off very fast paced and hard to understand. You can only pick up on the basic concept, but any emotional connection to the characters, if ever, won't happen till half way through. The story does start to pick up, and it gives a new side to Hulk then most people are used to.

This movie is very violent. Lots of fighting and killing. People turning into monsters and even a nuke being dropped. There wasn't much noticeable swearing, only the occasional damn. There was also only very mild sexual content, like very mild. I'm talking a kiss on the cheek kinda stuff. I would have no problem letting a kid, seven years or so old, watch this movie.

So is this movie entertaining for adults? If you like action and super heroes, then hell yes. If not then I wouldn't even bother. The story has little appeal to non-nerds, and the art work isn't all that special. All in all I give this movie 6 outta 10 for grown ups, and 8 outta 10 for kids and teens.
