The Incredible Hulk is one of the best and entertaining movie in 2008. after you watched this new version, it's like you forgot that you ever saw Ang Lee's version. Edward Norton still as good as he used to be in any other movie he had in it. he provided a very good performance as Bruce Banner.

The story itself is simple and fast-paced, far more better than previous Hulk (2003), which is more complex. Director Louis Leterrier succesfully bring this movie live up to fans expectation, i hope Louis still return to direct the sequel. since the movie only focus on Bruce Banner character, i think Tim Roth, Liv Tyler and William Hurt have their character portion more than enough.

The SFX were GREAT!! especially on the climax duel between Hulk and The Abomination, incredibly stunning, maybe it could win the "Best Duel" category in the next MTV Movie awards.

overall the incredible hulk receives a solid A grade. i can't wait to see the sequel in years to come.

It's enjoyable enough, I suppose, and the story progresses well, but there's not a lot to it. Ang Lee's version may have been flawed and difficult, but at least it was trying something ambitious. This one doesn't try anything new, and as a result it becomes fairly boring towards the end. Norton is good, and it shows promise near the beginning, but it soon devolves into mindless action without any real purpose. Shame.

For a movie that's supposed to be the super fun, hulk smash action version of the character, it's remarkably boring and lifeless.

This was on par with Iron Man and even better than the Dark Knight, which I also loved! Great year for superhero movies, which Spider-Man 3, FF 2, Superman Returns, and X-Men 3 had all but crippled creatively.

Can't wait to see a Hulk/Thor throw down in the Avengers movie. (which they may want to rename "The Mighty Avengers" or something to avaoid confusing the dummies of the world who might think it's a reissue of the awful Avengers movie with Sean Connery and Uma Thurman. )

BKB, you know it and I know it. (as well as general movie going public) The Incredible Hulk was excellent, and Marvel studios is off to a smashing start!

And yet his movie was superior to this one, and the new direction resulted in a nearly identical box office gross.

I like Ang Lee's Hulk even though it's super-flawed, but I really enjoyed his interpretation. TIH is not a bad movie, it's just not particularly impactful or memorable. The SFX are okay (suprisingly the Hulk and Abomination are better than the badly done heliocopter at the end).

Overall there's just no meat to it or nothing to hang on to. Northon is passable, but really William Hurt does the best in this.

Being that it starts in South America, and there's very little overlap, there's very little stopping this from almost being a direct sequel to Hulk other than Norton repeats some of the same conversations.

I missed the part where Banner is "cured" and then jumps out of the copter knowing he'll Hulk out. Isn't he supposedly cured? I don't understand why he's confident.

It's not bad however.

It was definitely very well received. I'd say it was about as good of a combination of the comic and TV show as possible, and that's why it pleased moviegoers, comic fans, and fans of the show. DVD audiences are in for a nice surprise with Incredible Hulk, and I'd say that with the Hulk being in the Avengers (which should challenge Titanic's box office!), the Hulk's next film, through the goodwill earned by Incredible Hulk and (hopefully) Avengers, could be poised to finally do your 400 million domestic take, BKB!

what a boring movie. c-

Word. Ang Lee's Hulk is hampered by a pretty goofy final 20 minutes. (Everything after the action scene in San Fran.) Otherwise, it was stylish, had some great acting and plenty of soul. This film just felt much less ambitious, and no, not in a good way. Only Tim Roth excels, perhaps because everyone else had stronger performances of the same characters in '03. I can only imagine how cool this might have been if we lived in an alternative universe where Ang Lee's Hulk got the praise it deserved, and now the effects had been improved and the story was more dynamic. This version just felt like a lot of slick chase scenes with very little of any interest to connect the dots.

4/10.

There was a day, B. Once upon a time, you would have kissed the ground Ang Lee walked on. Back then, Ang Lee's Hulk was the pinnacle of visual effects marvels, revolutionary work, and you were shocked that so few others understood.

Oh, how the times have changed. You betrayed Ang Lee, and the film that should have beat Spider-Man. And just as you abandonded your idol, I don't doubt that you will turn your back on this Hulk as well, once the news breaks that a third interpretation of the Hulk is being made into a movie. Once again, you will champion Hulk as the biggest film of the year, the one that will finally get it right. Everyone else may chide the trailers for their cartoonish visuals, but you will stand behind this new Hulk until the bitter end, shaking your head in disgust at the masses who don't comprehend Rob Cohen's true understanding of the big greeen guy.

Face it man, this might just be one comic book character that was never meant to be.

Heh. Nice deconstruction, Dude!


(Is BKB going to stay 15 forever?!? )

New posts!

How did you see Iron Man 2, BKB?

BKB is actually from Hong Kong, you didn't know?

I wasn't aware BKB knew there was a world outside America.

This movie really was well done. I find it hysterical how people on the internet were confused and thinking they were still supposed to be hating and mocking it because of the Ang Lee movie, and then when the smoke cleared, the consensus realized it was actually damn good! I would rate this every bit as good as Iron Man was.
