Hulk Vs.

In two stories Hulk's power is pitted against two other Marvel superheroes. In the first film Thor is targeted by the evil Loki, who harnesses the power of Hulk to destroy Thor, only to find that the beast is harder to control than first though. In the second story Wolverine is called in by the military to deal with an out of control Hulk, only to find he has more familiar problems to face.

I'm not a massive fan of Marvel characters generally but a friend sent me this DVD thinking I would like it so I figured I should be polite and accept the gift. Personally my preference is for darker, more adult stuff from my comic books but I can enjoy this sort of thing to as long as it is well done. It will be a matter of personal taste but for my money hulk is a pretty weak character that the last two film version have shown to be difficult to do much with other than produce big noisy effect sequences. This is the case here again as, although he is the title character, both of the films really belong to the other characters. This therefore makes it more a matter of whether or not you like the two characters.

Thor never worked for me as a character and I never liked the world of Nordic Gods or Thor as a character – not helped either by how colourful and clean he is. The Thor film is pretty weak as it is based heavily in this world and filled with lots of "thee" and "thou" dialogue that just seems silly. The action sequences are simple enough but the plot didn't engage me and just seemed to be noisy and pointless stuff. I guess this is very much personal taste and some will love it but for me the saving grace of the DVD was the second film.

I am sure there are people who do not like Wolverine as a character but I am yet to meet them and this film reflects the style of the character that I have come to know through the odd comic book and the films. The story here is better and the setting of the military industrial complex as the background is a lot less silly. It helps that this film also has real action with violence, thrills and urgency. The animation is also better as, although it is the same US-TV style, there is more blood and more shading than in the Thor film. I also liked the cast a lot more here and, like everyone says, the inclusion of Deadpool was a great thing that gave great comedic relief throughout the film.

Hulk V's is an enjoyable DVD though but for my money it is limited by the first of the two films. The Thor one is too simple and filled with characters, scenarios and dialogue that I just didn't like. This is not the fault of the film though because I just don't get Thor generally so for those that do the film will play differently. The Wolverine film is worth it though as it is darker, has a better story, better action, more humour and just a good amount of "edge" to it that makes it more than cartoons of pumping up things hitting one another. Fans will lap it up no doubt but to me the DVD is good enough for the casual viewer thanks to the Wolverine film.

Let's be clear Hulk Vs is not a movie, it's a compilatation of two marvel shorts one being Hulk vs Thor and the other Hulk vs Wolverine.

Both shorts are relatively well made, the first involving Loki controlling the Hulk in order to defeat Thor and crush Asgard which is decent enough and family friendly.

Hulk vs Wolverine see's Logan sent in to take on the monster that has destroyed a town but there is more to the tale and we'll see Sabretooth, Deadpool, Lady Deathstrike & Omega Red join the fight. This one was surprisingly gory by comparison.

Both are passable but nothing to get excited about. An actual movie featuring all these characters would have made more sense.

The Good:

Great fight sequences

Loyal to the comics

The Bad:

Animation isn't great

Wolverine is stupidly buff

Successfully makes everyone look weak compared to Hulk

One of the endings is pretty dumb

(a review of "Hulk vs. Wolverine")

It's like a 13 year old boy's dream come true.

Except I'm 26 and probably enjoyed this movie even more so. It easily and confidently outdoes both the (imo) lacklustre "X-men" and "Hulk" movie franchise in a decent half an hour runtime, and the end result is truly jaw-dropping at times.

Production values are sky-high, with the animation surpassing even the original 90's "X-men" cartoon series, while the shere style, atmosphere and boldness are pure perfection. And kudos to the musical score for taking a life of its own and sounding like something most contemporary big-budget composers would be proud to call their own work...yes, this movie delivers BIG-TIME!

The story is simple but effective, and the ending fits in perfectly. To me this was like a piece of "The Animatrix" in the Marvel universe, and I absolutely loved it for that...it just feels so permanent and despite being short it's still powerful and makes you believe like it belongs to a bigger picture.

I can only hope to see more of This bigger picture, Marvel has truly outdone itself!

"Hulk vs. Wolverine" 9/10

"Hulk vs. Thor" 7/10

Overall 8/10

Just read that someone thought that Hulk vs Thor was the better one from the two. I respectfully disagree, and why?

Hulk vs Wolverine shows us what and who Wolverine ACTUALLY and REALLY is, a killer!!! And I think that's what everyone has forgotten after seeing Hugh Jackman playing Wolverine so many times. (for the record, I like Hugh Jackman very much)

When I heard off the Hulk fighting Wolverine, I thought to myself how in the hell is Wolverine going to fight the Hulk. Again we forgot that Wolverine is actually a small little guy but that he is incredibly fast!! And that His Adamantium claws can cut true EVERYTHING, plus that he is not afraid to use them!!!!

And again I say that's what Hulk vs Wolverine showed us, because he uses his claws against ANYONE who stands in his way.

I actually didn't review the movies by saying this...But you must have noticed by now that I liked Hulk vs Wolverine very much.

As for Hulk vs Thor, I also liked that one very much! Its more about honor and stuff like that. Less bloody but indeed some more action all involving the Hulk! Thor as well as The Hulk get their asses kicked.

I give them both a 9 out of 10 Enjoyed them both very much! (like I always write) sorry for any misspells, Im dutch :)

I really enjoyed Hulk Versus Wolverine. This pre X-Men Wolverine is the Wolverine I love. I've used this colloquialism before but "X marks the spot" and there are plenty of big action scenes throughout this amazing animated movie that it has to be called spectacular. Wolverine goes ballistic in a good way and the introduction of Omega Red, Deathstrike and Deadpool makes for an intriguing watch. It's action with a nice mix of smarts and fun. We FINALLY get to see Wolverine draw blood in animated form. I was so tired of him tying in to robots and walls. Some of this stuff is right out of the comics. Adherence to the source material, whenever possible, works well in this case. It more then works as a movie.

Hulk Versus Thor was pretty good even though I feel they made the Hulk too strong in that film. Asgardians like Hogun and Balder shouldn't be treated like tissue paper. It's Hulk Versus Wolverine that's the real treat. Simply Superb.
