I'll be seeing it sometime this weekend. It looks really good, a lot better then Ang Lee's one. God, why are there so many damn movies coming out now?

June 13th - The Incredible Hulk
June 20th - Get Smart
June 27th - Wanted/Wall-E
July 2nd - Hancock
July 11th - Hellboy II: The Golden Army
July 18th - The Dark Knight (no other movie matters BUT this one)
July 25th - The X-Files: I Want to Believe (horrible title though)
August 1st - The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
August 8th - Pineapple Express
August 15th - Tropic Thunder

I'm seeing at least one movie every weekend for the entire summer, that's just ****ing ridiculous.

Comes out same day as Metal Gear Solid 4? I'm afraid The Incredible Hulk will be having a sulk (lame, I know...) while I complete Snake's last mission. I will be seeing it though, it looks awesome and stars Edward Norton - one of my favourite actors of all time.

It can't be any worse than the first one. Most Marvel move that are made are rubbish until the second movie. Spider-Man being the best examply, was boring. I thought the first Hulk was terrible, let this one be better!!

I think the first Hulk movie was good. The characters had to unfold through out the movie, I thought it was just plain good.

Anyway, I'll probably see this since it's full of action which I have a sweet-tooth for. However I'm not expecting anything worthwhile especially after Iron Man. There's no way this could be nearly as good IMO.

Just a guess...but I think so many movies are coming out because that's what they do in the summer. :lol:

As for the new Hulk...I am thinking I might pass. Trailers actually make it look worse than the Ang Lee Hulk.

You have problems if you believe that.I have to agree with him to a certain extent. Although I don't think it'll be worse, it won't be much better than Ang Lee's film. Better actors with hopefully better acting this time around. Maybe something of a story... but it all boils down to the fact that it still has the obnoxiously huge, overly muscular CGI Hulk. It's almost an exact replication of the last film's Hulk.

And they added the Adbomination...who lives up to his names because he looks terrible. I have heard too many bad things about this film. Apparently Edward Norton was a ***** to work with, he re-wrote the screenplay and tried to re-edit the film to his liking. Not good signs.

However I don't know if he's good at that stuff or not. Either way... not expecting much. It'll just be cool to see Tony Stark... I might use that as my excuse to see the film.

Thing is Norton is apparently a huge fan of the Hulk comics and show, so this may turn out well. I had read a article in Film magazine where he just ranted on about how the Hulk should be so when this film comes out, it will put him to the test in more ways than one, I for one am looking forward to seeing it...

Kids in the theater after the trailer was shown were laughing and making fun. Not trying to be a big downer THUGGED... but it's just the reality. The Happening could EASILY take the throne on this one... and I kinda hope it does... as long as it's good.

I wanted to see the Happening until I saw the score on Rottentomatoes. It got a freaking 13%! On the other hand, the Hulk got a 71.

Considering M. Night's past films I think that review just lost it's credibility. Actually I think that review for Hulk might not be too far off. Haven't seen it yet obviously. Honestly, although I didn't care for Lady in the Water, the actual movie wasn't bad... I just didn't care for the mythical story.

74% on Signs... I don't like these guys anymore.

It was way better than Ang Lees hulk but not as likable/good as Iron Man which is exactly what i was expecting.

Wasn't like last summer for me this year. I'll be seeing more movies this summer then last in the theater. Anyways, ugh the ****? Worse then Ang Lee's Hulk? I have to laugh at that, the trailer makes it look 10x better then Ang Lee's Hulk was.

Just saw it. MUCH better movie than Ang Lee's film. Fans of the comics should actually enjoy this. Well die hard fans might not love it, but anyway I though it was much better.

No real great trailers were shown: The Mummy III, Hellboy II (the same trailer they've shown with every other movie), Righteous Bullet (actually looks kinda good), and a one or two others I think.

Ive only seen one bad review, think it was on yahoo. The guy didnt give the film a chance at all and said every last thing about it sucked so he really doesnt get an credit from me. Some people are going to just bash it just because they will never let the hulk have a chance and those people are not good at reviewing movies.

Just wish some people would give certain things a chance once in a while.

I don't see Norton doing a great job at this. I mean, fantastic actor, but he just doesn't have that image. When I think of Edward Norton I think 'American History X' and 'Fight Club' You can't really be a serious actor in a kids movie, and that's what Norton is!
I'm not even going to bother with this, because, dare I say it, most Marvel movies suck! Blade was great, but c'mon, Ghost Rider? No awful! And the Spidey films were crap too, and you know it!:P

I watched it. Did you guy's catch the WWII Super serum reference? The one they gave to Blonsky? That made him super quick and agile prior to being injected with the Gamma stuff?

THAT was a direct reference to Captain America so the stage has now officially been set for Captain America to head The Avenger's in their movie that's coming up.

The odd part is.. Iron Man 2 is also being "penned," I believe is the term, to hit before The Avengers. Cutting it kinda close.

Actuelly Ironman is supposed to be coming out in 2010 but they all believe its way too soon for a sequel so they are trying to push it to 2011 just so they can make it great. They dont want to rush.

Along with that Captain America comes our RIGHT before the avengers movie in 2010. Alongside a Thor movie with a cameo of Ironman, not ton stark, ironman. They are also going to through in characters like Antman into one movie because they dont see the interest of them being that high, so they will just make cameos before avengers.

Im really amped up for the avengers movie but does anyone know there is no Marvel movies coming out next year? Maybe to cause hype for avengers. Along with that as far as i know DC has no major movies coming out either.

RedDragon7

Marvel is kinda kicking DC's *** when it comes to the movies. Most Marvel films are well recieved, but when film makers venture into another Batman movie, I think 'uh oh.' Maybe thats just me. Although Batman Begins was really enjoyable. Not that that means much, compared to the other Batman movies *cough*

In 2009 we are getting the Wolerine spin-off.
Captin America needs to come out soon because its going to be the prequel for the Avengers movie. Iron Man 2 doesnt need to be rushed, They have done everything they need to do.

Marvel has seriously brought out the big guns, the way they are handling the characters is nothing short of brilliant to. It is like fully replicating the Marvel Universe on screen. Too bad the only good DC film franchise is Batman. Superman is sucking **** at the moment, and with Bryan Singer doing Man of Steel I have no hope for the franchise.

DC has alot of potential with characters like The Flash, Green Lantern, and Wonder Woman but I hear the flash script has gone down hill and GL and WM are pretty much still in planning stages.
But yeah you are right the only real thing DC has going for it is Batman.

Marvel still has duds coming though like i cant imagine Antman being good and i hear the Thor movie is taking place in Valhalla and fans are complaining about that. I dont know anything about Thor except he has a magic hammer and is like a Viking. Wasnt he a warrior of Valhalla who was cast down or something? Lore people please help and put it in spoiler tags for the people that dont want to know.

Only things about DC i liked were Batman and Flash.
Im more of a Marvel because i like the characters more.
When i was younger i read alot of Spiderman and 2-3 comics or Iron Man.
I read a few for Hulk and a few others. Never been interested in Thor but if they make him look like the Ultimate Thor i will be pissed.

I claim to be about 50/50 for Marvel/DC.

I think Marvel has more characters one can relate to and be absorbed with. But on the flipside my favorite superhero is from DC (Captain Marvel), reason being because he is literally a human teen that transforms into a super hero at will(we've all wanted to be able to do that)....and the fact that he's basically superman with no weaknesses to speak of.:snicker

I wish I had the money to fund that kinda job, believe me I'd do it in a HEARTBEAT. I am a Superman fan as well, along with Flash, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern. I HATE, and I REPEAT HATE AQUAMAN. I also hate Captain America, the Fantastic Four excluding Human Torch, and I didn't really care for Iron Man. Alcoholic in a suit that can stop pretty much anything, and he like shoots mini rockets that do as much damage as a ****ing Javelin missile...yeah okay.

Aquaman was the last in line at the "DC come get your powers booth"
Aquaman - "what do you have left?"
Booth people - "Umm you can talk to sealife, breath underwater, and swim very fast"

Heres my review from the review thread.
The Incredable Hulk - 7.5/10
A few awkward scenes and it felt like Liv Tyler didnt know how to play her character. Also the Tony Stark cameo should have been after the credits instead of attaching it at the end. Overall it was fun experience and would be happy to see another. Oh one more thing, Much better than Ang Lees Hulk.

I would also like to mention i loved the action scenes and Hulk does say "HULK SMASH!!!!!"

Side Note: they are still trying to make an ant-man movie! I don't see how that's going to be any good but I will have to give it a shot just to fill out the series.

The Incredible Hulk was actually a sequel as there was really no introduction. It just has no actual ties to Ang Lee's The Hulk.

Another fan of the CGI in this film. Maybe I'm the odd duckling. It's still obnoxiously obvious CGI to me.

Also Ant Man is a lame character but that doesnt mean his movie will suck.
Its being directed by Edger Wright who was the director of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. He also promised the movie wouldnt try to be a comedy.
Also an Avenger not getting their own movie is Wasp and im glad and i dont mind if they arnt included in the Avengers movie.

Of course its obviously CGI that's about as real as your going to make an 8FT green angry giant look. Iron Man was too slow with no real payoff, Batman Begins has raised the bar damn high which probably explains why I was just like oh come on. The action was too damn short, Robert Downy was the only reason that film was worth seeing. The story was like ehh, and the main villian was okay but the reason for him turning on Tony in the first place was very superficial.

Batman Begins was just as slow being in introduction to the Batman story. But I do agree the battle between with Shane (and his suit) was actually a bit underwhelming. A sequel could definitely solve the problem, just as all sequels tend to be much more action packed.

Batman Begins was not slow to a point where it made you go "come on already". You were intrigued by Bruce's journey to becoming Batman, I fell asleep during most of Stark's time in that damn cave. I think it comes down to just superior film making on Nolan's end. Iron Man definitely a good movie, not bad but I think Hulk SMASHED it completely. More action, Edward Norton was awesome, the story was simple but wonderfully executed, and the action was just INCREDIBLE!

For someone that likes story over action (Batman over Transformers), I'm surprised at your opinion of simple story with incredible action with The Incredible Hulk.

And yes, The Incredible Hulk had more action as it was a sequel with no introduction. So you almost fell asleep through the cave scene even after all the explosions and gunfire with the Humvees prior. And its equivalence of the creation of the Iron Man suit with Bruce's building his Batman costume.

Yeah that cave scene was a drag. Having more story means nothing if the story isn't interesting or in this case told well. Hulk's story was simple yet executed beautifully. You didn't care about anyone but Robert Downy in Iron Man so it was like c'mon already. In terms of Transformers and Batman being a battle of story vs action I'm more about complete packages, whichever is the better film.

Couple of questions on the film:


What happened to Stan Lee's character, wouldn't he have turned into something or just died?

Also at the end, Abomination was still left breathing so what happens to him? And why the hell was Betty yelling the Hulk to stop?

Hell if I know, umm hell if I know and because she didn't want Bruce to become a killer most likely.

Abomination might make an appearance in the 3rd Hulk, or more likely as an enemy in the Avenger's movie.

I loved Edward Nortons acting in The Hulk. Great actor who made a great movie. It had a good balance of both action/character development.
