wow. i hope the sequel is sooner rather than later. I know marvel wants iron man 2, Cap, Thor, and Avengers made but this film was on par with Iron Man and the throwdown between hulk and abomination was classic marvel comics. the acting was superb, norton and liv had great believable chemistry. Hurt blew sam elliots' Ross out of the water. the story and performances carried this movie until the action sequences began. couldn't say that with ang lee's hulk. I wasn't looking at my watch to see when norton becomes Hulk. Only if marvel studios were able to get back the X-Men franchise.

Re: Norton and Tyler's chemistry. I just said the same thing to a friend. They were great together.

Enjoyed this, but I also didn't hate the Ang Lee movie either. I think this more what people wanted from a hulk flick. I hope for dvd we do the get the edward norton cut too.

^ Yeah... that was the whole point of the movie... surprised you missed it matrixrox, it was pretty damn obvious.

Saw this last week and actually liked it quite a bit. However, the effects were atrocious. Everytime CG was on the screen it was instantly noticeable and distracting. The effects from Lee's film 5 years ago was far better than this. You'd think in 5 years the effects would improve, and they have throughout film in general. But this wasn't even close to Ang's film in that regard. Aside from that, it would get a solid thumbs up from me.

I was cool with the effects. I do kinda wish though that they mesh a CGI shot with a practical effect shot of the hulk you know? Like Iron Man did every once in a while. Too much CGI sometimes...

I"m pretty sure...it's going to be like in the comics where the gov't contains him. And considering we have The Leader coming forward, I'm sure he'll use Blonsky.

I think you need to rewatch Lee's hulk. The effects in that film were wretched. Far worse than The new hulk. At least the new Hulk had a consistant height, realistic muscle movement and a lot of detail in the skin. Lee's hulk was fluorescent green with no texture, horrible movement and awful facial expressions. Just watch that scene where he gets hosed down with foam. THat's the worst CG I've seen in a long time.
Absolutely! I just re-watched Lee's "Hulk" on Blu-Ray a week before the new "Hulk" came out on DVD, and even more stunned how bad the film was on every level. ESPECIALLY the special effects. And feel Norton's version was amazing.
