Review of Planet Hulk (2010) by Ken B — 25 Jan 2010

If a cartoon of the hulk as a gladiator on an alien planet sounds cool to you, you'll like it. A lot of the comic's story is absent but abridging a story's a good way to adapt it. Sam Vincent's voice for Miek reminds me of the tortured slave builder unit for the Dark Eldar in Wahammer 40k:Soulstorm. Maybe the audio editor used the same filter. There's some blood, which's nice in a flick that's nothing but fights. It's short and sweet.

Everytime I watch one of these straight-to-DVD animated movies I'm confounded by how superior their execution is to Hollywood blockbusters. Maybe Hollywood movies suffer from too-many-chefs-in-the-kitchen. If studio execs weren't such pussies they would invest in talent and trust their artists to produce good works instead of micromanaging until the final product resembles most movies already out.
