Hulk Versus Thor/Hulk Versus Wolverine

(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

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.

whats more to say about this. normally these marvel cartoons are too kiddy-fied for the kids, but these cartoons are something special especially the Hulk Vs Wolverine film. You get to see everything in here, blood, limbs being sliced off etc. By far this is the most entertaining cartoon to watch and due to its more mature content the grown-ups will enjoy it too.

The Hulk vs Thor is in my opinion not as good or as violent as the Hulk vs Wolverine cartoon but its still worth watching to get to know more about the characters on Thor's side of the Marvel universe.

Lenght of the cartoons may be short at 40 mins each but these are all out action packed with less talk and more smashing.

"Hulk Vs" is really two shorter films combined, "Hulk Vs Wolverine" and "Hulk Vs Thor", complete with their own titles and credits. However, both movies share many thing in common between each other, and with most of the direct-to video animated films that have been produced by Marvel Animation and Lionsgate (Tough, to be fair, I think that the two movies included in Hulk Vs are slightly better) Both movies were funny to watch, and both have some interesting elements concerning the plot and characters...However, as the title suggest, both films are more focused in the action, so those good and complex elements aren't very well developed or just got a shallow treatment. (For example, in both films Bruce Banner is just a wimp, playing a secondary role in the two stories, specially in "Hulk Vs Wolverine") In both films, the animation is decent without being incredible. The influence of the visual style from the animator Bruce Timm is quite clear in the designs from "Hulk Vs" (And in "Planet Hulk" as well) being more fluid and dynamic than the animated series made by the Marvel in the nineties(Where the animation was notoriously uneven.) The voice acting, just like the story and the animation is good: It wasn't anything memorable or outstanding, but at least all the voices worked very well for the characters. The music, in other side, is quite generic and forgettable.

Anyway, I think that "Hulk Vs" delivered exactly what it promised, and even when neither of two movies included here were masterpieces, at least were funny and enjoyable enough to be worth-watching.

The two films got a 7 out 10 stars from me.

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
