Incredible Hulk - Movie Reviews The Incredible Hulk

Marvel's The Incredible Hulk, who first muscled his way into theaters in 2003
and had to fight off critics upon his arrival, returns at midnight tonight (Thursday),
and he's earning a bit more respect -- and probably more green as well. Claudia Pui
g in USA Today says the new Hulk "is more viscerally angry and packs a bigger
wallop than Ang Lee's talkier, more introspective version" and that while there are
plotholes, "as a popcorn movie steeped in action, it keeps our attention." Lou Lumenick
says that when it comes to fans of the comic book and the TV series, the new Hulk
"squarely hits the target." However, he adds, the sequel is "only fitfully successful
in engaging the middle ground -- us nonhard-core fans." Mick LaSalle in the San
Francisco Chronicle says that the new film does not attempt to make "a thinking-person's
action movie," as Ang Lee attempted to do with his Hulk. Instead, he remarks,
the film "embraces its identity as a sci-fi-summer-action-blockbuster extravaganza
." The trade papers predict that the film will show lots of strength at the box office.
"This loud and quick-moving production will shake loose ample coin in all markets,"
writes Todd McCarthy in Daily Variety. Adds Kirk Honeycutt in the Holl
ywood Reporter: "The film is poised to carry the weekend buoyed by an unbeatable
combination of buzz and hype."

Britain expels Kiwi band

There was nothing rock'n'roll about Opshop being booted out of Britain.On Saturday, the Kiwi band had to cancel their Edinburgh show, the first of a 10-day, three-show promotional tour, after trouble with visas.Siren record label representative Tracy Magan said management thought Opshop could travel under the visa-waiver programme because they wouldn't be making any money during the tour.But rule changes had seen the programme "tightened up" significantly.In the past three months there had been a 12 per cent increase in expulsions and bands from around the world had been caught short."This is the kind of stuff happening an awful lot - it's always been a grey area for bands. Now it [the programme] has changed so quickly."We had to find out the hard way."Ms Magan said visas were being sorted out now and the band members - Matt Treacy, Jason Kerrison, Bobby Kennedy and Clint Harris - would be back in the UK by the end of the week.New dates as well as refund information are to be announced.




Last year, the band released Second Hand Planet, a 30,000-unit double-platinum-selling effort, as a follow-up to You Are Here.Their song Maybe is the most successful of all time on New Zealand radio.
