Default The Incredible Hulk - the movie

I just saw last nite and I loved. IMO this version of Hulk is better designed than the 2003 version. The SFX are good and the final is promising.

What do you think?

The Special effects were awesome. I had a hard time determining what (as far as Vehicles and explosions) was real and what was CGI. I think the human Story was a LOT better. I liked Eric Bana, but a hulk that bounded 50 miles? C'on, that's stretching it!

The immense leaps are actually something the '03 movie had that I was sad to see missing from the new one. Also, they didn't go into "the madder Hulk gets, the stronger Hulk gets" which the other movie did (although they screwed it up having him get BIGGER as well -- the Hulk should never look like a shaved, green King Kong!). In the comics, Abomination is stronger than the Hulk's "baseline" strength but his strength level is fixed while Hulk's is limited only by his rage.

Those are really my only two complaints, though. I REALLY enjoyed it, I am actively looking forward to getting the DVD rather than the last one which I got 2nd-hand out of an obligation as a Marvel fan, I am dearly hoping for a sequel and I am probably going to wet myself with excitement in 2011 when Captain America and Avengers are being released...

i thought it was good. not great because it had nothing that made me think about it again once it was over. it will be so hard to ever make a truly great hulk movie because of the facts that he has no well known enemy and that he cannot talk.

I'm not totally up on Hulk lore, but cant the Gray Hulk think and act like normal?

They didn't?
I thought that's what happened at the helicopter crash near the end when he finally beats Abomination

gogorobo - there was also a growled "Leave me alone" the first time he transformed, in the factory, right before he emerged from the smoke.

haradrel - I was watching it thinking it could be the a madder = stronger situation, but it was never really made clear that this was actually going on. I guess those of us in the know can look at it like that, but there's plenty of movies where the good guy finds a last, desperate extra pool of strength to draw from and beat a bad guy who seemed more powerful initially, and I felt this movie could also be read the same way.

ThinkTank - the grey Hulk persona does see himself as a distinct individual, he has the same disdain for "puny Banner" that the classic childlike green Hulk does, but the grey Hulk can be more eloquent about it. He's a pretty mean, malicious guy. He set himself up as a mob enforcer in Vegas for a time, going by the name "Joe Fixit."

There's another Hulk, known as the Merged or Smart Hulk, or simply "The Professor," who retains Banner's intellect and identity while embracing personality aspects of the other Hulks (so none feels so repressed they need to break out). And more recently the Hulk's been shown to be fairly intelligent yet enjoying his immense physical power particularly in combat (I highly recommend reading the "Planet Hulk" storyline and the follow-up, "World War Hulk").

Judging by the way this movie went, I wouldn't be surprised to see a more intelligent and talkative Hulk in any sequels or at least in Avengers, whether it's Banner's personality or just a Hulk it's easier to reason with but who could still lose control if provoked.

FX: meh. The Hulk looked too cartoony. Also the Hulk FX were spotty and not fluid at all, from frame to frame he would be great or crap. GRANTED there were a few GREAT scenes like in the cave but they didn't put enough into consistent graphics.

Story: meh. Too much love story not enough Jekyl/Hyde.

Action: ok. See above.

Overall: 7 out of 10.

I liked it way more than the first but I do not see the first as a "comic" movie but rather a poorly written horror movie. I'll buy it if only to keep my movie collection complete and for the Easter Egg that was supposed to follow the credits but was taken out and placed on the DVD.
