You notice ALL the biased fanboys check in and comment 1-3 days after the films release giving it a way too slantedly high rating.

better than ang lee but that like being the tallest midget in the circus

I too noticed that Mr. Blue’s head throbbed and wondered if he had injected himself with some of the Hulk’s blood. He will def. be back in the sequel.

Taking this movie for what it was I found it did quite well. At most I give it a 7 out of 10. CGI is pretty good, I mean how else can you create these giant green monsters!?

I like that they threw a little comedy in the mix. Ferrigno cameo was great! Bixby’s cameo was on during the scene where David Banner was in Brazil watching tv. He was on the show the Courtship of Eddie’s father. Also Stan Lee and his cameo in person and as his name was used for the pizza place, Stanley’s.

I didn’t see Captain America anywhere! I read the reviews from the earlier posters and looked where they saw Captain America but I didn’t see him. They probably did cut that part out.

So what happens to the Abomination now? No jail cell can hold him. Can they turn him back into a man?

I have never read comic books so maybe you guys know what is meant to happen next.

I didn’t think that The Incredible Hulk had a dark tone at all. Not that Iron Man was particularly dark, like Nolan’s Batman, but at least it put people in actual peril and focused on the human cost and death toll of the villains.

Blonsky/Abomination had nothing interesting about them whatsoever (besides being good adversaries in action scenes). They were one-dimensional and boring. The Iron Man villain actually had multiple faces and interests and was actually invested in being a competing force to Iron Man / Stark. With Blonsky… all he really had was that he’s a soldier for hire who got beat and that doesn’t happen too often / he doesn’t like it and he’s intrigued by the power of the Hulk, so he wants to test himself and beat a worthy adversary. That’s just silly.

RDJ was across the board better than Norton in every aspect. I guess Norton just decided to play the role close to his vest and keep it simple and flat.

I am dumbstruck by your statement about Liv Tyler. While she was by no means as annoying as Katie Holmes in Batman Begins she was completely forgettable and worthless in a bland role which found her whispering every line or being out of breath. The character didn’t really do much or bring anything to the table. We really got zero insight into her relationship with Banner or her relationship with the shrink and how she’d responded to the experiment gone awry other than he looking surprised when she saw Bruce at the pizza place and throwing a tantrum outside of Dad’s tank thing. She was just a complete non-factor. I wish I’d seen The Strangers right after this to balance out her performance.

This Hulk was really pretty mediocre, especially compared to Iron Man which can really be counted among the best mainstream comic book movies.

Zak Penn really made things fairly dull. I’d put this right alongside X3, but with a little leg up because of the chase in Brazil and the cast, who, while normally strong in other movies, was underused.

-blonsky/abomination blew stane/monger WAY out of the water.

-rdj wasn’t better than norton, he was just funner than norton.

-it would be a shame, and very disapointing if norton doesn’t return because of whatever that dispute is all about. the superhero/actor revolving door is getting very very old. we like these guys in the roles, and wanna see em stick it out for a while.

-for me, liv tyler was one of the best ‘hero-gals’ in anything we’ve seen so far. better than mj, pepper, rachel dawes etc… i was shocked and pleasantly impressed.

-ironman is the better movie, but i find myself unsure of why i’m saying this. i can’t help but wonder if norton’s rumored 50-70 extra minutes (?!?!) would push hulk to the area of excellence.

-oh, and as for the 11 second tony stark cameo, i’ll put it in the same category as the 9 second nick fury cameo in ironman: MEH. wasn’t cool or exciting at all. more of an attempt at ‘look how cool we think we’re being.”

-but by all means, i’d love to really see this marvel cinematic converging universe happen, i just got a gut feeling it’s gonna be limited, and not as big as i’d like to see. also, i’m really worried about who’s hands the giant union will be placed in.

-in closing: hulk smash very well, ironman keeps kicking ass, and the next 4 projected films sound exciting and unique - thor ala LOTR & WW2 cap!

HOWEVER…

the dark knight and the clown prince will bring comic book films to a place only our beloved fanboy imaginations can dream of. oh yeah, let’s see tobey swinging through NYC in the near future! sorry for being so long, but we’re living through some very exciting cinematic times right now, and its easy to ramble on.
