Keep that Hulk hand strong

I recently saw the Planet Hulk DVD and I have to say off the bat, it has a way cooler Hulk vs. Thor fight than the ‘Hulk vs. Thor’ DVD, so watch it.

All in all I say Marvel has been picking things up since that god awful Kid Avengers dreck. Even better is that for the first time in my comic book adaptation history my perception matched reality. What I mean is, the names of the characters transferred phonetically from what I had in my head reading, to the TV speakers.

As is expected in anything with the Hulk, he is unstoppable and in an effort to trim runtime, all ponderousness was cut. This gladly left us with just pure badassery, as is evidenced by the brutally graphic alien-bug deaths. Strangely enough by the end I felt like reaching out and hugging the nearest cockroach just to show some type of regret for the green blooded horrors I witnessed.

This wasn’t the greatest comic book animated feature I’ve seen, but it was sure entertaining, and for those of you who have read the comic version, just note there is no Silver Surfer. Never fear though, they have a replacement with an equally if not worse name to make up for his absence.

I didn’t necessarily jive with some of the story changes they made for run time purposes, but so be it. The Hulk having an awesome pimp medallion by the end soon made me forget whatever issues I may have had. I’m certainly hoping for a World War Hulk sequel, and maybe they’ll do the unfathomable and make a better product than the source material.

All in all it was good times and a good watch.
