I get antsy in movies, period, no matter how short or long they are. I did notice a very fast pace in this one.

Just got back and I thought it was okay, I actually thought Ang Lees was alittle better ( Hulk looked better, Jennifer Connely ) Liv Tyler was pretty awful in the movie and was she was pretty bland. Norton just didnt feel like he fit the part well. Them too had no chemistry either.

Problem is if you seen the trailer or tv ads you have seen the movie. Every action scene is shown in the trailer and Tony Starks appearance is ruined by being in the TV ads.

The opening was excellent though, the stuff in Brazil and the first time he changes into the Hulk and you don't see him is excellent though. Liked the opening stuff in the factory. Great stuff there. But other then that I found the movie pretty average. I heard that the Final Fight in this was too put the Final battle in transformers to shame but I didn't find the final battle that good. For being in New York I couldn't tell where they were suppose to be. Didn't feel like New York. Abomination did look pretty cool though but got defeated pretty easily and quick.

Loved seeing the Stark Industries logo pop up in the movie and Seeing Tony Stark was great. But this movie didnt do anything for me. Didnt care for the look of the hulk though. Effects were decent but not any better then the 2003 Hulk.

6/10

I always felt that Banner is supposed to be potrayed almost like Mac that gets sand kicked in his face in the Charles Atlas ads.

Don't know where you get that Banner is some hunky guy.

The problem with the Hulk movies is that the television program from the '70s did a hell of a lot better job with a live action Hulk than a CG one. I also think that Bill Bixby set the bar so high for the Banner part that even Edward Norton can't compare.

The TV show was compelling TV. The films don't compare on plotting, pacing, action, or even the dramatic human element. "Hulk SMASH!" just doesn't do it for me.

Hey were are the reviews for seasons 3 and 4 of the Tv-Show?

I just finished most of it and dam good picture and sound all around.

I am going a write a review of those seasons sometime next-week if anyone wants a review.

Is Tony Stark as Iron Man in the movie and what does he do?

I thought the movie was pretty damn good but not amazing. I found the first 25 minutes went by pretty slowly and the lack of dialogue and bad ADR in those parts grated...but then it explodes and doesn't look back. I thought the cast was great and Norton and Tyler did a great job with the limited material they had.

Some more character development could have been nice, but I liked that it didn't bog down too much in that and just delivered the action. The CG isn't always great but most of the time it's passable. I liked the length of the film and thought if it was any longer it would have been overkill, so I was glad when it was over. Worth seeing and more slam bang action than the previous Hulk. Not on par with Iron Man but still a damn good time.

Its good. Nothing spectacular or anything. No Iron Man. 7.25/10

Currently at 64% on RT. The Hulk 2003 is at 61%. Interesting.

I had a lot of fun. Much better than the last movie. Good meaty scenes and enjoyable action.
Loved the Bill Bixby clip on the TV at the beginning.

I thought this blew away Ang Lee's version by a mile. I recall I dosed off several times watching the previous version. But, then again it depends if you are more interested in an action-adventure oriented film or a character-driven movie. From an action standpoint, I was very entertained from start to finish. I thought Norton was a much better version of Banner and more closer to Bixby's version than Bana.

In a way I kind of understand Norton's point of view that he wanted to flesh out the characters more. I thought there was a little lack of character development between Banner and Betty as well as General Ross. But, the movie still worked for me.

I'm not as nit picky as some of you about the quality of the CG Hulk. I thought the animators did a good job with it and the Abomination.

Much faster pacing than the previous version and some cool special effects along with several odes to the TV series make me give this a solid B+

Hopefully Marvel and Norton will compromise their differences and at least release an extended version of the film on DVD along with the theatrical cut.

Daytripper

Just a mile? How about ten! And I hate saying that. Because I think Ang Lee is a true genius. "Hulk" was just a minor misstep in his beautiful career. And I think Eric Bana was a great choice for the role, too. But Edward Norton is my favorite actor. And he really nailed this part IMO. Thumbs way up.

Giles

I'm still mulling this over, but it was okay, not great.

BravesMG

This was good, but far from spectacular and a certain step down from Iron Man.

I'm kind of surprised with the pure action, balls to the wall descriptions of Hulk. It's got a lot of action, but I thought it took a while to get going and had a lot more story than I expected.

A quick question for folks familiar with the comics:

johnnysd

I really liked it. I thought the final battle was truly excellent.

You can definitely feel the loss of footage, but it is edited quite well and the pacing is good. The "Norton" version will be a very successfull DVD for Marvel. It is brilliant viral marketing.

Interestingly, first movie of the summer where the audience really enthusiastically clapped.

Giles

so are we to expect the next Iron Man/Incredible Hulk movie will be the crossover of the two?

mdc3000

^That's The Avengers, which Marvel has slated after Iron Man 2 comes out.

Just got back from seeing this. I went in with pretty low expectations and came out very pleasantly surprised. I thought all the actors were great, Norton, Tyler, Hurt, and Roth all did pretty good with the material they had to work with.

The Bill Bixby, Lou Ferrigno, and Stan Lee appearances all went over pretty big with the audience I was with.

I thought the CGI effects were quite good (especially the rainstorm scene) and just accpeted the fact that that's about as good as this kind of effect is going to look, even if it's not perfect.

I do have to say I'm quite disappointed with the recent Tony Stark ads they've been playing on TV recently. I would have been caught off guard and pleasantly surprised by the final scene had I not known. As it stands, I was expecting it was and it totally lacked the excitement I think the filmmakers were going for.

Giles

to put it on the TV spots does seem like a let down, it also didn't help that the scene should have been after the credits, since Iron Man had the Samuel Jackson scene there and that reaction was incredible - here, the scene seems very forced and feels like a bad edit

DarkestPhoenix

This movie was the most unbelievable piece of trash I've ever seen...

GoldenJCJ

It most definitely should have been after the credits (which is where I was originally expecting it). The film should have ended with Banner meditating in his cabin after his eyes turned green and he smiled at the camera. The Tony Stark scene would have worked perfectly after the credits.

CaptainMarvel

This was a joke, I hope.

TheMovieman

I hope so as well, lol. But isn't that why the Internet gods made the wink smilie?
