[movie] Duncan Jones to direct Warcraft

[Purge]

That's a really odd choice.  I wonder what he'll do with it?  It could turn out to be Ang Lee's Hulk or it could become Kenneth Branagh's Thor.

Ang Lee did a fine job - he just didn`t pander to the ìdea of 2.5 hours of the hulk smashing everything in sight.

I admit i didn`t like the resizing thing, but that`s a quibble.

Hulk dogs alone were enough to damn the film, but creating a Hulk film with a heavily dramatic centerpiece on fatherhood that would have felt forced and stupid in a non-Hulk film was the icing on the cake.

Branagh created a 2 hour or so film that had relatively little smashing AND dealt with similar themes of family and he still managed to capture the spirit of the character and the comics perfectly.

I love Lee's work.  Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon ranks up there as one of my favorites of all time.  But his take on the Hulk was just awful.

Duncan Jones is a talented director on the rise. Have you all seen 'Moon'? 'Source Code' was also quite decent. I think this movie is still in capable hands.

it'll be interesting to see how he handles big action sequences.

I'm all for adding dramatic centerpieces to action films and not pandering.  Ang Lee's Hulk failed on way more levels than that.  It's just not very good at all.

Yeah, I really liked Moon and thought that Source Code was much better than expected.  I'm at least interested to see what he will do with this one.

Hulk...Dogs

don't forget Hulk vs Daddy Lake (sorry, best version I could find right now).

Whoa...sometimes you forget how far CGI has advanced over the years.
