Planet Hulk Two Disc Special Edition

As all of you fans of the Hulk know, this is the animated adaptation of the popular comic book series. Now, I would like to begin, that they made a lot of changes in this adaptation. Some are good, while others I don't care for, but this is still a great animated action film. The demise of the Red King is something that I like better here than in the comics. Sadly, just to inform you, the Silver Surfer has been replaced by Beta Ray Bill!!! But don't blame Marvel, blame FOX STUDIOS!!! One thing this movie has though is a lot of action and a fast paced storyline. It is without a doubt the best Marvel animated film so far. It keeps a similar theme to its comic counterpart, and it still keeps the viewers entertained. The voice cast is just great, and they suit each others characters perfectly. While I must admit, I still prefer the comic over the animated film. I'm a big Hulk fan, and the way I look at it, if it isn't broke, don't try fixing it. I just wished they would have made it exactly like the comic, but I'm not complaining, for I really like this film. What intrests me is if there is a World War Hulk, his wife Caiera may be coming along for the ride! I would love to see a WWH animated film! Just to see Stark, Richards, and all of the Marvel Universe being beaten almost to death!!! It gives a whole new meaning to the words... HULK SMASH!!!! This two disc set contains these special features: - A Whole World of Hurt: The Making of Planet Hulk - Let the Smashing Commence! The Saga of Planet Hulk - Opening Sequence: Thor Tales Of Asgard - Wolverine vs. Hulk Episode from the popular series Wolverine and the X-Men - Spider-Woman: Agent of Sword Motion Comic - Astonishing X-Men: Gifted Motion Comic - Watch Your Step: Spider-Woman Music Video - Rise Up: Astonishing X-Men Music Video PLOT - When the Hulk becomes too dangerous for the Earth, the Illuminati trick Hulk into a shuttle and launch him into space to a planet where the Hulk can live in peace. Unfortunately, the Hulk's struggle to escape makes a malfunction in the shuttle causing Hulk to land on the planet Sakaar where he is sold into slavery and trained as a gladiator. With the aid of fellow gladiators Hiroim, Korg, Miek, and Elloe Kaifi, the Hulk forms the Warbound in a plot to overthrow the Red King. VOICE CAST - Rick D. Wasserman - Hulk - Lisa Ann Beley - Caiera - Mark Hildreth - Red King - Liam O'Brien - Hiroim - Kevin Michael Richardson - Korg - Samuel Vincent - Miek - Advah Soudack - Elloe Kaifi - Michael Kopsa - Lavin Skee - Marc Worden - Iron Man While I did not care for the changes they have made to this animated adaptation, it didn't ruin it for me. The story is fresh and the action is some of the best I have ever witnessed in animation. Some fans will dislike the change (well more like they will hate it), others fan or non fans will be sure to enjoy this great animated film. My advice, buy this film. It's a good adaptation, and it is sure to please those who like great fights and a good story. It's worth the price of $17.49, and you will not be displeased. While it may not be as spectacular as its comic book counterpart, it is still great in its own way. Read more

After the incredibly disappointing Ultimate Avengers films, I had low expectations for anything Marvel Animated and especially Planet Hulk. But this Hulk really grabbed me and pulled me in to one of the best Hulk adventures I have ever experienced. It begins with a video of Iron Man and the Illuminati explaining to Hulk that he has been exiled to another planet. Hulk starts smashing up the spaceship and it crashes on the planet Sakaar, ruled by the Red King. Hulk is captured and forced to fight in gladiatorial arena, where he rises to fame and bonds with a unique group of slaves who call themselves The Warbound. Hulk must decide to challenge the Red King or seek a path of isolation, because unlike the Earthlings, the desperate people of Sakaar believe a monster is just the hero they need. Planet Hulk is a Hulk you have never seen before. All the other Hulk stories feature the struggle of Bruce Banner. Then when Banner loses control, the character development is over, the story is over, he just transforms into Hulk and a giant slug-fest ensues. But Bruce Banner isn't even in Planet Hulk, and we get to see how deep and conflicted the character of Hulk can really be. It's not a journey of man into monster, it's the journey of a monster into a hero. It isn't Banner's struggle, it's the Hulk's struggle. But the character-work doesn't stop there, the Warbound group is a very interesting and well handled group of gladiators. Which leads me to the fights. The idea of making the Hulk a gladiator on an alien planet is such a good concept for his character that I can't believe this wasn't thought of sooner. It gives Hulk ample opportunity to pummel a host of unique foes. There's some really memorable fight scenes and powerful moments here. Due to copyright issues, they could not feature the famous fight between Hulk and the Silver Surfer that's found in the comics. Instead, they used Beta Ray Bill from Thor and tied it in with the events of Hulk vs. Thor. The end result is a pretty incredible match. I highly recommend Planet Hulk as a great exploration for Hulk's character, and Marvel Animation's best film to date. Read more
