That may be the case, but it doesn't mean you can be a vag and not put spoiler tags around **** that may or may not be in the ****ing movie, idiot.

You might not believe it, but then again you haven't seen the ****ing movie.

The movie was awesome. I love Lee's version, but this was much more accessible to the right audience. It balanced everything, the psychology, the deapth, the comedy, the action, the acting, everything wasnt half-assed. It was a step up in action and adventure quality completly, nothing outweighed the other (except Liv Tyler could be the living vacuam in a room of energy), and the Hulk battles are some of Marvel's best set-peices since the classic Spidey vs Doctor Octopus fights in Spider-Man 2. You will take one look at the battle with the sonics, and the scenes with the lightning storm and think "Stan Lee breathed this kind of movie for years, now a movie is finally breathing the same breath". THIS is what Jack Kirby slaved over, THIS is what Lee brought to life.

Spoiler:
Yes folks, Stark appears before the end credits, but aside from that, we got to see a hint that The Leader will be in the third movie judging from the fate of "Mr. Blue" Samuel Sterns


Apparently 70 minutes were cut from this movie which will appear on the official DVD, these include TWO scenes that were in the trailer

-The scene with Bruce talking to Samson
-The Antartic scene where Bruce...well...

Spoiler:
Tries to kill himself and meets Steve Rogers

Just got back from a midnight showing of this and it was awesome. It went above and beyond my expectations. The final battle between Abomination and Hulk was brutal, tons of ass kicking.

For those of you wondering, there's nothing after the credits, and contrary to some other news, Captain America is not in the film whatsoever.


Finally,

Spoiler:
Hulk...Smash!

And most reports reveal why. They cut over 70 minutes.

This is no doubt an amazing film from start to finish, I was just about to jump out of my seat and chear at the end! The journey of Bruce Banner felt more involing compared to Lee's Hulk. We get a nice taste of how Banner is effected by the effects of the Hulk afterwards, such as the flash backs.

The movie also had a very nice cohisive feel to it with the other Marvel films, such as the documents at the begining with all the marvel character names like Nick Fury, Tony stark who also makes an appeance was a very nice touch to the film.

If you dont like this movie, theres something terribly wrong with you! In fact I might be as so bold to say you have no soul.

Loved it... Looooved it!!

Spoiler:
The use of the Weopon Plus, SHIELD, Tony Stark's weopons (they showed in the opening sequence that they were using those) and of course Tony's scene at the end was just awesome. And that battle!! Whoa! What a Battle! Awesome! Abomination: "Any last words?!" Hulk: "Hulk Smash!!"


Oh did anybody else get a free poster??? My theatre was giving out free glow in the dark Hulk posters. Not sure where Im gonna hang it tho but it's a pretty nice poster.

Nope, no free poster, but I liked this movie, but I'm a geek so I'm biased.I did like the in jokes ("You're making me... hungry." Lou Farigno and Stan Lee, ect.) and of course the use of "The Lonely Man" from the 70's Hulk series.

Yeah!! I noticed that too!! I was like "Hey...that's the theme song...." *L*

When Lou Farigno showed up everyone cheered. Course he was also the voice of Hulk

Was he....I wondered who was. He was in the 90's animated series, too.

Gee, I had absolutely no intention of seeing this movie, but with all the positive stuff I'm reading I may have to change my mind on that.

Would it help if I said that dispite my comic book geekieness, I didn't much care for Lee's Hulk. Liked the style, but it had little substance.

Neutrino, you noob! I will admit that I was quite skeptical about this movie. The first teaser did not make me want to see the film but wow, I was way off base! The Incredible Hulk was not only a good comic book movie but an all around great flick.

I thought Hulk's design was much better in this movie. His face and hair looked amazing. The only thing I thought Lee's Hulk did better was explain the origin a bit better. I liked how David Banner created the Hulk and it was stabilized in Bruce's DNA in Lee's Hulk. This one didn't go as far into it which was fine with me since I basically knew Hulk's origin already.

Norton rocked the screen, as usual and he was really a character you couldn't help but root for.

Go see it, yall!

I'm quite surprised by the reactions. My friends and I all agreed the movie was pretty mediocre. Might be more fun if you're a Hulk fan. It's not as much as a bore-fest as the previous movie but at least that one was well made in every other aspect.

The new movie features poor acting, awkward lines and bland CG effects with stiff animation that just disconnect you from the film. I would give this movie an X-men 3 out of Iron Man and can only hope they'll be more careful with the Avengers movie.

Huh... I thought the CG effects were pretty good. Hulk seemed more realistic this time. As did Abomination. Im a fan of the tv series and loved that they played the theme music as Bruce was on the run.

Saw this movie last night and for the most part, I enjoyed it. The action scenes were played out quite well and the CGI looked pretty good. To me, the story felt original and it kept me intrigued. Other than that, not much else to say, except this movie somewhat exceeded my expectations, which is always good. Overall, I'd have to give it an 8/10.

I'm far from a Hulk fan and I absolutely loved the movie, can't wait to see it again. I didn't have any problems with the CGI, I thought it was a huge improvement over the CGI in Lee's film. Outside of Liv Tyler, I thought all of the acting was pretty good. Some of the dialogue could be improved, but I didn't tuink it was bad enough that it distracted from the overall film.

Wait you think the CG looks worse than the last hulk film? I mean because that was pretty damn crappy.
I thought this new one looked ok for what it was..just allot of the character designs are bland to me especially the abomination.
