This is news to me. I seem to recall tons of trailers where two people have guns pointed at each other but the more I think about it, the more it was probably all assumed off camera or cut like in the trailer above.Quoting number8 (view post)

So that's why international trailers are better than domestic trailers? Because these rules can be broken? Look at the shot here where they are pointing a gun at Bond on top of the train.
Yeh, it only applies to American domestic trailers, obvs.

That bad guy makes me think of Raiden from MGS4.
Looks like another Wolverine movie in the works.

Man, after 10 years and a re-watch last night, it's become pretty clear that Ang Lee's Hulk was something pretty damn special.
Top tier stuff.
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
Hahahahah! You took your sweet time!
And also some pretty damn awful CGI.
I absolutely prefer the look of almost anything in the final third of Lee's Hulk to the seemingly unfinished, jaggy rendering of Leterrier's version. There are definitely some weak spots in the '03 one (since, y'know, it was '03), but look at the shot where he bursts out of the water tank in the base and try to find something as impressive in the 2008 one.
Whedon's Avengers Hulk obviously looks the best though.

I've seen Ang Lee's Hulk on TV many times in the past few years, sometimes in HD. There is no question that its effects have aged badly.
But the movie is still compelling - definitively the most personal and creative superhero film.
I'm very very torn. I think they're both bad.
But when the rest of the movie has this; that's when I throw my arms up.
The gamma dogs were bad for sure, but Hulk looked freaking fantastic, and the overall look and feel of the movie was amazing.
I loved the recurring, haunting image of jellyfish floating over the red desert sands.
No, I think the movie looked pretty great.
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
Well, I always loved it - I was never a nay-sayer, or even close.
It just wasn't until I rewatched some of my favorites (the Nolan Batmans, the original Donner Superman, X2, Blade 2, etc.) that I realized, wow, this is right up there with the best of them.
It's one of the best superhero movies ever made.
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
I just watched the tank scene on youtube and yeh, it's probably better than anything in the 08 movie.
I thought the movie looked great, I thought the Hulk looked great (for the time). My problem was with the narrative, especially everything related to Nick Nolte. The end fight with his character was yawn worthy.
Eh, I thought the end fight was pretty incredible, myself. A battle of wits and philosophies rather than a punch-o-rama.
I've always been a big fan of Bruce Jones' Hulk work, so the handling of Hulk as both a literal and metaphorical monster was something I really loved.
I also like Ang Lee's take of the father-son "Greek tragedy" dynamic, all culminating in a literal Olympian God-like battle in the clouds, full of lightning and thunder, with images frozen on the cloud mists like comic book pages. It tied everything together stylistically.
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
:sigh: I prefer the Leterrier version. I realize I'm the only one. I just don't understand the love of Ang Lee's version.
It took a few rewatchings for Lee's version to click for me, and that's only on the 'comic book to expirimental film' side rather than a good Hulk film. I would say I prefer Leterrier's version as well, but I still have fingers crossed for a DC someday.
Don't love it either. It's certainly not even close to a bad film, but the two moments in The Avengers are more memorable than anything in the standalone Hulk movies for me.

X-Men: Apocalypse has been scheduled for a May 27, 2016 release. This is presumably a sequel to X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Sure why not?
STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI (Rian Johnson) - 9
STRONGER (David Gordon Green) - 6
THE DISASTER ARTIST (James Franco) - 7
THE FLORIDA PROJECT (Sean Baker) - 9
LADY BIRD (Greta Gerwig) - 8

I assumed the character of Apocalypse would be coming, but if that is indeed the last "prequel" film in this trilogy then I wonder if they will adapt an existing storyline or create a new one. Obviously as it relates to X-Men proper, I think he is mainly remembered for the "Age of Apocalypse," which is far too much story, though I guess they could without too much trouble move from Days of Future Past's story into Apocalypse's.
He has also been in many other stories as well. This is also all baseless conjecture, which is so much fun! This will probably not even be about the character at all...

Eh, I think in this day and age, if you're gonna make an X-Men movie called "Apocalypse", it better be about the villain.
Yeah, that'd be the biggest mislead ever to have a villain name, yet not show him.
