Reel Movie Reviews: The Incredible Hulk

When we first heard that The Incredible Hulk would be the focus of yet another movie (following the Ang Lee-directed disaster that was The Hulk), we wondered why anyone would go see it.

However, reviews of the Edward Norton vehicle have actually been positive so far. Here's a sampling...

- The Incredible Hulk accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do. It simply isn't out to accomplish much... -- Cinema Blend

- Though certainly not the dud many were expecting, the new 'Hulk' is not good enough to justify the need for a restart... -- Dark Horizons

The Incredible Hulk

- Much more action-packed and entertaining than the previous Hulk movie... -- Sci Fi Movie Page

- Sharply uneven and structurally messy, new version is only slightly better but decidedly different than Lee's take, a popcorn flick favoring big, loud action and thrilling f/x over plot and characters; makes you curious about Norton's longer, detailed cut... -- Emanuel Levy

Leonardo DiCaprio Loves Atari

Leonardo DiCaprio has signed on to star in Atari, a biopic on Nolan Bushnell, the man that actually invented the home video game console.

As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, after building Atari to an international juggernaut, Bushnell was forced out, only to have a second act as the founder of the Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza chain. Random, we know.

Aside from Atari, DiCaprio recently wrapped the Ridley Scott CIA thriller House of Lies, due out in October. He's also set to film Shutter Island.

A New Clip from Hancock

After revealing a Hancock spoiler in our previous clip from this movie, here's another look at the Will Smith blockbuster.

Changeling Premiere Date Moved Up

Changeling, the Clint Eastwood-directed, Angelina Jolie vehicle that won over critics at the Cannes Film Festival, will be released on October 24.

Variety reports that Universal Pictures will release the thriller on that date before going wide one week later.

Changeling, set in 1920s Los Angeles, is based on the real life story of a woman whose son disappears. Months later, police tell her they have found him... only she says it's not her son.

Jon Favreau: Concerned About Iron Man 2 Release Date

In his latest MySpace blog, director Jon Favreau expressed concern about the announced release date of Iron Man 2 (April 10, 2010):

I am concerned about the announced release date of April 2010. Neither Robert nor I were consulted about this and we are both concerned about how realistic the date is in light of the fact that we have no script, story or even writers hired yet.

This genre of movie is best when it is done thoughtfully and with plenty of preparation. It might be better to follow the [Batman Begins/The Dark Knight] three-year release pattern than to scramble for a date.

It is difficult because there are no Marvel 09 releases and they need product, but I also think we owe it to the fans to have a great version of Iron Man 2 and, at this point, we would have less time to make it than the first one.

Makes sense to us. And we'd prefer a quality movie over a rushed one. Let's hope those behind Iron Man 2 keep this in mind.
