Review of Planet Hulk (2010) by Sean T — 06 Jun 2010

I really wanted to own a direct to DVD Marvel Animated Movie that was way more awesome and that was actually watchable. So I decided since I asked for Hulk vs. for Christmas that I'd buy the Planet Hulk movie since I heard a lot of good things about it. I bought the 2 disc special edition and brought it home,put in my XBOX 360,and watched one of the few most awesome Marvel Direct to DVD animated movies.

The movie is based off the World War Hulk Comic Book Series which takes place during the Marvel Civil War arc. The Hulk is placed in a spaceship binded by big metallic arm and leg restraints and he gets a holo message from Iron Man telling him that they had no choice but to get rid of him since he caused so much damage on Earth.

The Hulk lands on the Planet Sakaar and is taken prisonar and is made into a Gladiator. The Hulk even gets to speak since the Sakaar Knights placed a communicator device on his chest. We see lots of awesome alien allies of The Hulk and see lots of awesome battles in the Sakaar Arena. My favorite allies of the Hulk would have to be Mink the Black skinned Grasshopper type alien and Korg the rock body/alien The Thing type creature. The acting done by all of the heroes and all of the villains is top notch.

Also the main villain of this movie known as The Red King is such an awesome character,because of the how the actor portrays him and makes him sound so evil and black hearted.

I loved seeing the flashbacks that all of The Hulk's allies had and getting a treat by having Thor make a cameo in Korg's flashback. The animation in this is awesome too. Everything from the animated fights in the Arena to the character movement is animated so perfectly. I thought it was also cool to see another Asgardian inhabitant make a cameo as well.

The final battle between the heroes and The Red King and his army is the most awesome final battle I've ever seen in any of Marvel Animated Movies.

The extras on the DVD are not really focused so much on the Hulk and the movie,but more on the newest Marvel animated series and Marvel Motion Comics. The behind the scenes look of the Planet Hulk movie is awesome,because the creators tell how they added a lot or subtracted a lot from the comic book version to the movie version.

There's also the Wolverine vs. Hulk episode from Wolverine and The X-Men which is a sequel of the Hulk vs. Wolverine movie. Also it uses the storyline from when Wolverine and The Hulk first fight eachother.

There's also two awesome motion comics that have awesome storylines. There's also two awesome music video versions of the two motion comics.

I highly suggest you check out the Spider-Woman Agent of SWORD Music Video.

You also get to see the opening of the next Marvel animated movie "Thor Son of Asgard" which looks like the biggest pile of donkey dandruff I've ever seen.

I highly recommend buying the 2 Disc Special Edition of Planet Hulk,because it is a movie you'll watch over and over again and you'll be glad you bought the better DVD version.
