A decent movie except for the "climatic" and cliche "final battle", which is the worst part of the whole movie and honestly brings it down. In "Iron Man", we see our hero fighting a bigger, silver colored, but more flawed version of himself.

In "Iron Man", we see our hero fighting a bigger, silver colored, but more flawed version of himself. In the hulk we see our hero... uh... fighting a bigger, silver colored, but more flawed version of himself... Another thing seriously wrong is the "American Anime" parallels you see in this "climatic battle". Replace the hulk and that big guy you see in the preview with basically 80% of that cartoon crap that gets sent over here and there really isn't no difference. Except instead of a "hiyaaaa!" and "your powers are insignificant to mine!" while two people destroy part of a city fighting each other- you get "grunt!" and "grrrr!!!" and "you don't deserve your powers!" while two people... destroy part of a city fighting each other. And yes, when your big fight scene is 100% CG, its a cartoon. Also, check out the double-ending, the second of which they probably added two weeks before release. Overall a decent movie but Iron Man was better. Expand

This movie did not disappoint. No more abstract fights and a lot more direct action. Enough inter-play between characters for the audience to feel for Bruce Banner and Betty Ross. But ultimately - it's a "Hulking Smash"

Only five years after fanboys pooh-poohed Ang Lee's "Hulk", the adjective is back, David Banner(hey, what happened to Dick York, I mean, Ed Bana) is back; still green, still angry, and still hasn't found what he's looking for. Only five years after fanboys pooh-poohed Ang Lee's "Hulk", the adjective is back, David Banner(hey, what happened to Dick York, I mean, Ed Bana) is back; still green, still angry, and still hasn't found what he's looking for. But can "The Incredible Hulk" right the Marvel ship and turn the American moviegoing public into Taiwanese deniers? Probably. It's a faster-moving "Hulk"; so fast, apparently, there's no time to land the plane, or give poor David a parachute. He jumps out of the aircraft during the final action set-piece, in which, he apparently breaks every bone in his body upon contact. David should be a parapelegic, or dead, but no, he's the Hulk. And then "The Incredible Hulk" delivers, what Lee didn't deliver; a knock-down-drag-em-out altercation between rock 'em sock 'em abominations of mankind...that lasts a long time. The "Bewitched" analogy doesn't work with Betty Ross(Liv Tyler substituting for Jennifer Connelly), because there was only one Samantha. When Banner(Edward Norton) and Betty decide to abstain from some heavy-duty canoodling in the motel room, "The Incredible Hulk" misses a golden opportunity to dramatize the reason they can't be together. Ang would throw no caution to lust; Ang would understand that Betty has to be thrown in harm's way to make the love story resonate. Expand

Norton is the only thing that elevates this picture (at least in the final cut) above its own mediocrity. It's ironic, considering a lot of stuff he added seems to have been cut from the final edit. But of what remains, Norton is still the best out of anything, and often better when he's not saying anything at all. The dialogue is often goofy, the film feels truncated, and the action scenes are rough and jumpy. Effects work is patchy at best, better in "still" scenes, but clearly no better, probably worse, than ILM's work on Ang Lee's film. I don't know what William Hurt is doing in this movie -- Sam Elliott's Ross was much better suited in the previous 'Hulk' picture. Ditto for Jennifer Connelly. Mildly satisfying, but more meat is surely on the cutting room floor. Expand

A little slow, but considering Marvel's track record, it may as well be a five star film. This isn't better than Iron Man (as if anything is), or the first two Spidey/X-Men films. But it definitely outdoes everything else.

I went into the theater still skeptical (primarily due to the 2003 version). They needed to do something magic to make up for that and on top of that I didn't expect near the same quality of movie as Iron Man. Walking out of the theater I went into the theater still skeptical (primarily due to the 2003 version). They needed to do something magic to make up for that and on top of that I didn't expect near the same quality of movie as Iron Man. Walking out of the theater I had an overwhelming sensation that The Incredible Hulk is better then Iron Man. After a nights reflection I stand by that, put simply Hulk > Iron Man [however in not all respects]. While RDJ near perfect role as Tony Stark is marginally better then Edward Norton's Bruce Banner, the Hulk is a far more impressive superhero then Iron Man. The fights in both their scale and frequency blow Iron Man out of the water. For fans of Marvel comics (like myself) the cross-overs just add to the experience. We get two Tony Stark references, subtle references to Captain America, a reference to The Avengers, and a possible set up for the Hulk and Wolverine's encounter at the end. Needless to say Marvel has hit two home runs this summer with movies, if you enjoyed Iron Man, you owe it to yourself to watch this movie, even if only for the 2 min ending featuring Tony Stark.

I liked Tim Roth's performance. I am a huge fan of Craig Armstrong, who did the score, and this one was not bad. I'm a huge fan of Danny the Dog, one of Louis Leterrier's movies (starred Jet Li). And of course I loved Robert Downey Jr's appearance as Tony Stark. And if you paid attention, the reference to Nick Fury in the opening credits was exciting. Here's the BAD: The movie was an embarrassment. How could I be suckered into this. All of my instincts told me that they were going to DUMB it down (to the same level as the Fantastic Four movies). And that's what they did. This movie is strictly for 5 year old kids. The action was so BORING. God, really I didn't care about anyone in this flick. Okay, so I wasted my money and 2 hours of my life. THAT is not such a big deal. But here's what DISTURBS me: We know Marvel has plans for an AVENGERS movie. AND they have plans for the CAPTAIN AMERICA movie. These are really important, and dare I say sacred properties... Are their plans to continue making lame kiddie flicks? or treat them with the respect they deserve? I love Captain America and I will have nightmares if the eff it up. I hope Jon Favreau directs both Captain America and the Avengers. He's proven himself with Iron Man. It would be a dream if Bryan Singer came back to do these but he's busy with the Superman movies. Well, at least we have this to look forward to: The greatest movie of all time is being released next month. Yes, that's Christopher Nolan's THE DARK KNIGHT. See you there. BTW, I loved Ang Lee's Hulk released 5 years ago. It would have been brilliant had he been hired for the sequel. I will have to pretend I didn't watch Hulk 2008. Expand
