Edward Norton vs. Mark Ruffalo: The Hulk

Our superheroes have grown and become big names from Iron Man to Thor. Every superhero, who has a movie or is a supporting character, is known in the superhero universe. One age-old question within that universe involves the Incredible Hulk. This character's transformation has been an interesting one, to say nonetheless. We will be looking back and comparing the different Hulks.

Edward Norton did a decent job at portraying the Hulk. This character isn't the easiest to play and does involve a lot of work. He definitely tried, but the storyline and character development didn't play in his favor. The timing of when the movie was released is also a playing a factor. This movie came out before the Marvel universe actually became a phenomenon. That didn't allow the studio and surrounding storylines to further his development. This movie was not a part of the growing universe but rather another superhero movie.

Mark Ruffalo had a lot more background and information to work with. His hulk character was able to fit into the storyline and even allow for more advancements. His storyline was able to expand way more than Norton's character. This character had a studio, storyline, and technological advancement s that allowed for a better outcome. Even so, Ruffalo's acting and portrayal of the Hulk was something extraordinary and entertaining. He put in a lot of work and made it his own. We seem him with emotions, internal fights and truly needed help in his life.

In the end, Ruffalo's Hulk had a lot more work done for him and had a spot in the storyline. Norton did have possible potential and did allow the Hulk a good story but was just short of possibly missing his big movie. It was just a movie made too early. Still, there should be a solo Ruffalo Hulk movie. People have been waiting. Let's just do it already.

Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle - A Review

We can not forget the classic Jumanji! You know the one that gave kids nightmares with their CGI rhinos and monkeys. It's a classic tale of rebirth and love, all the while trying to beat a killer game. It was a movie that would go down for the ages. With the announcement of the sequel or remake, still not sure what it exactly is, a lot of people were kind of upset and angry. Why would anyone try to remake Jumanji? Still, that didn't stop them from having a pretty good cast. Dwayne Johnson has been expanding his acting resume. He has been starring in a few different genres that have played in his favor. Kevin Hart gave the movie spunk and ensured that the audience would be laughing. Jack Black is just Jack Black. He does his own thing. No one really knows what he might do but he does it and it's good. The movie surrounds the same concepts as the original. There is a game that if you play it you need to complete it in order for everything to go back to normal. Except, it is...
