Actually, there is a world of difference in that age group. You go from being an adolescent to an adult.

I think that you are taking this a little to seriously. It is based on a comic book and, as such, (as seen with all of the other comic book based movies) it is almost appropriate that things are left hanging (have you ever read a comic book where that wasn't the case?). Either way, all kinds of super-heros give up their "real" lives (specifically in regards to relationships) to be super-heros. because 1) personal feelings open up a weakness (desire to protect loved ones vs. need to do something else), 2) there is not enough time to devote to the "significant other" when you are "on-call" as a super hero, and 3) especially if you are a "secret identity" superhero, it is hard to maintain a real life and a super hero life without letting on that you have a super hero life to the person you are in love with.

This of course is all based on personal experience . . .

For you to call the ending of Spiderman illogical is...as I said silly. Perhaps most people wouldn't do that, but does that mean everyone wouldn't? Just because YOU wouldn't do that, does that mean Parker wouldn't either? Many adults could and would make that choice. And seeing as Parker is transitioning there, it makes sense. And seeing how he is the superhero, that makes it even stronger. Seriously quit getting hung up on somethign so stupid. Your complaint sounds more like you were just angry they didn't give you what you wanted to see. Because your argument of it being illogical is...illogical. Human actions cannot be confined to one set of possibilities, regardless of how most people might act. And when you're telling the story, the origin story of an extraordinary character, and you want the movie to end with him acting like what you would do? Naaa...I don't like your ending, I prefer theirs.

I was one of the ones bashing Hulk's CG before I saw it; judging from the commercials it looked really fake.

Then I saw it in the theatre, and I realized I was wrong the whole time. I actually liked the CG, with the exception of the dogs.

Yet, I still didn't like the movie. I don't have any "beef" with it, I just don't like it - as someone said before, it was very forgettable.

It wasn't engaging, it developed the characters for a long time yet I still had trouble really caring about them. I should add that I never read the comic or saw the shows so I didn't have any preconcieved opinions on what they should have done. As well, I wasn't expecting an action-fest because all I'd been hearing for the while prior was that it was going to be an action movie with a story, and I thought that was cool. With me, at least, that plan backfired because it seemed as if it was trying to prove that it was a serious movie with a story and credibility...

So I ended up sleeping for the last hour (occasionally waking up when I heard the hulk banging around), and it's not that I don't like dialogue - a movie like 12 Angry Men is one of my favourites - but Hulk just didn't hold me.

I honestly don't care about how popular it is - I'm proud to say I enjoyed Chicago and Pearl Harbor. There's such a think called taste in films, and not everyone's going to have the same one. You liked The Hulk, I didn't. What's wrong with that?

Amen to that! And my point exactly.

in which scenes do you mean? i thought they were great for the most part.

You must be thinking of a different comic then. the story is basiclly the same and the ages are not just 15-18 range.

You must have missed the point, if peter parker brings her into his world, he is concerned that she would be in danger again like she was right then. he isnt looking for a one time quick hit and run, he generally cares for this girl and I'm not sure if you are part of that 15-18 age group, but it seems like it. you might think like that, but you can generally care for someone so much and never "hit it" for the simple reason that it might chnage things in a way you do not want. either way, like others have said.. for you to say that this is illogical in a film where a spider bites a boy and gives him super powers make you look stupid. the grounds in which disbelief is present are pretty clear. Just sit back and enjoy the movie. do you want the hero riding away into the sunset together? it would really leave things in an ackward position going into a sequel by just leaving it at that instead of further developing the love angle.

I actually enjoyed it, especially the transitions, but it really should've ended with the Hulk surrendering in San Francisco. It's a more satisfying ending and provides better closure. I realize they wanted closure for the Banners as well, but that should have been saved for a potential sequel (and it shouldn't have been so awful).

Just because you love someone and want to protect them doesn't make the problem go away.

So you push the girl away. For her own good.

When is it okay to have a romance then? Its illogical because he'll never not be Spider-Man (at least, WE know that). So we have to presume that since he's afraid to "endanger" his ladyfriend now, that he'll never be able to have a love interest for the same reasons. I mean, he has to assume that even if he "retires," that he'll still have to worry about the saftey of his loved ones...when will it be clear and okay for him to love someone? That's the part that makes the least amount of sense; its not just the now, its an issue that would follow the character for the rest of his existence.

He'd never be "in the clear," so he'd never be in a position to not "endanger" a loved one, so basically, he's establishing a lifetime pattern of living in solitude like a monk. The ending makes no sense because that's not how people are. Police have girlfriends and wives all the time, and how is Spider-Man that different? Think from inside the story. Sure his bad guy was a real looney with crazy powers, but at the same time, I refuse to believe that this experience would scare him away from women and love for the rest of his life, as this ending would suggest.

Yes, in real life there are crime fighters, and yes, they deal with high-risk situations. Doesn't make them afraid to live.

Characters change. The same way that people wait until the right moment to get married. At this point, after seeing his Uncle Ben killed because of his irresponsibility and then watching his Aunt May and Mary Jane attacked because of his powers, he can't handle risking their lives again. Maybe furthur down the line, he'll be ready. Sorry, but those are realistic emotions that people go through. Maybe it doesn't apply to you, but it still happens.

Really, there's no need to continue trying to prove your point. I can see why you feel that the ending is implausible, but characters change based on circumstance.

Where on Earth would you ever get the idea that he might change his mind in the future?!?!?

I always found the fact that Peter Parker never went with MJ at the end to be very p*ssy on his part...yeah he's a superhero and people are gonna come after him and his loved one...but god damn it it always gonna be like that so dont be a p*ssy and push everyone out of your life...it made Spiderman into a little sissy...not like he wasnt much of one before...but even more so now...Did not like it at all!

Peter parker! You've just found out your best friends father was a pyschotic murderer who almost killed the woman you loved and your only living family, before killing himself.
Now your best friend is vowing to murder your alter ego and the woman you love may suspect your secret...what are you gonna do now?

"i'm gonna push all that outta my head and go tap dat bee-ahtch, 'cause i'm just a typical, shallow, selfish, emotionally neutered 21st century American post adolescant...yeah baby!"

Spider-man is not you, and you are not Spider-man. Issue resolved.

Excellent point! This seems to be the case for many topics in both movie and music talk. This is not to say that everyone who doesnt like The Hulk fall into this category but IMHO i think many are guilty of such snobbery. I personal liked the Hulk and thought it was by far the best comic based movie along with X2 in terms of story, editing, and graphics.

"Oh, I dont think there's anybody back there . . ."

I honestly cannot think of a worse film from the past decade that I have ever seen, off the top of my head. It is probably the worst acted, edited, directed, CGIed to hell. P.O.S. i have seen. EVER. It's the worst since...well...Daredevil.
