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.
