You saw Die Hard 1 but not 3? You really missed out. 

Hay, I LIKED Hulk! It was a cool drama as well as the standard comic-book thrill-ride. And the ILM stuff was a lot better than most have made it out to be, too. I'd like to see a sequel, with Hulk taking on the Thing, or something cool like dat. 

I think the problem with the movie is that you can't identify with the protagonist. Bruce is so quite and reserved that you don't get a good feel for who he is as a character, and the Hulk barely says Jack-all. When the Hulk is on screen you want to feel his rage and his energy, but it just doesn't come across. And you could walk in after the first 45 minutes of the movie and the movie will still make the same amount of sense. That much of a movie shouldn't be irrelevant. 

He's SUPPOSED to be like that -- all bottled up and repressed. That's part of the Magic Hulk Formula, after all. Besides, I think Eric Bana did a great job with what he'd been handed. And as for the Hulk, he does had some rage moments, but yah Ang Lee chose to show more of Bruce beneath the green skin, humanize him to a greater degree than had been done before. Altho, he does kick a great deal of mutant poodle and helicopter butt in the movie ;) 

You can still delve into the mind of repressed characters. Usually involving metaphors. A couple of stuffed toys don't cut it. 

So then what, make more room for psychoanalyzing Banner and eliminating scenes of Hulk bashing and smashing -- not to mention Jennifer Connelly screentime? C'MON. Go watch Five Easy Pieces or something... 

Somebody recommend me some dark movies! I've seen Dark City, The Crow, and Sleepy Hollow, and I'm set to watch Donnie Darko and The City of Lost Children pretty soon. Any recommendations for dark movies? 

Dust Devil and Picnic At Hanging Rock - both have an emphasis on spooky atmosphere and beautiful cinematography. Though the term 'dark' can't be taken literally in either case; both have a supernatural element that is most prominent under the heat of a blazing sun. 

I'm saying there wasn't enough Hulk smashing scenes. 

Dag, then go finance a Hulk mini-series then. That way you can have all the psychological introspection and sweeping action scenes together. A movie's only got ninety minutes, unless Peter Jackson's involved ;) 

I had mentioned Gothic, Ghost Story and the original version of The Haunting as nice dark films - without them being too whacked-out, anyways. But my connec had begun to fuck up and it didn't work, but hay -- there you go =)

Whacked-out is good. :D

The Hulk was way over 90 minutes. Don't you agree that the first half hour at least needed to be a hella lot shorter? 

movies with dark atmosphere I take it rather than just plain dark movies?

If so, try these out :

batman and batman returns if you havent seen them

blade II (though it's really a mindless popcorn flick)

blue velvet

ring or ringu

the game 

movies with dark atmosphere I take it rather than just plain dark movies?

Either one, really.

Thanks for the suggestions. 

Donnie Darko !!!

I love this movie with the rabbit !!!
With the tehory of schtroumf :)
And the paper in ass :))) 

Is it worth seeing ringu? 

different style, essentially same story. I prefer the visuals in the english version but the jap version is more creepy.

RPG,

well all of fincher's stuff then including panic room. 

mulholland drive. 

anything by david lynch is "dark", in some sense of the word.

Apart from "the straight story", which isnt dark at all, really. :o 

Lost Highway?
Haven't seen it but been reading old NIN interviews about it.. 

nooo! dont watch it, not good.

uwf, I know but the two that I mentioned are more dark than some of his other stuff. 

I thin k movie is good inspiration my favourite movies are :

Avalon
Matrix
Matrix reloaded
Lord of the rings trilogy

I like violent film, no classic films , action films with human feels , Film who change your life in two hours . A film with you can dream !!! 

With Robert DeNiro.. it pulls on a range of emotions.. it has action, and.. god, I don't want to give any spoilers away.. but sometimes the film is genius. I missed like the first half hour or hour though.. 

Your right for the first half hour .
