    Well the CGI looks far better than the first one did. Plus Ed Norton? I think this will be a good movie

    There was a thread about it awhile ago. I want to see it, so I am curious as well. One criticism raised was that the Hulk fights another Hulk, which seemed unoriginal. However, I did some research and found similar story lines in the comics. I was also watching the old 70's series with Bill Bixby yesterday, and they used the same story line. So, in spite of the criticism I am going to take a chance.

    They knew that one sucked and decided to do it right this time?

    I just saw it and it's MUCH better than the 2003 version. I thought the casting, storyline, and effects were all a huge improvement. Ed Norton was a great choice to play Bruce Banner. Plus, the ending to this one IS awesome!

    It's not as good as Iron Man but it's a fun time at the movies.

    He still looks like Shrek to me only darker green, but i think it will be ten times better than the first one.

    I didn't like Ang Lee's version but this actually looks good. Plus I like Ed Norton so I think it has potential.
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    Edward Norton is one of the best actors around......I have yet to see a bad movie with him in it

    I saw it and enjoyed it..but am biased b/c I really like Norton. Still I think I liked Iron Man more although that's largely just because I like the actual superhero more. The ending got me excited.

    Agreed. I just saw him in a good movie with Naomi Watts and Liev Shrieber. The name of it escapes me now.

    Agreed. Better than the last and with the cast it was well rounded. The director is french too so we had an out of the holly wood box experience with this film.

    Saw it today...it was well done, they just overdid the look-up-at-the-sky-and-yell thing, which is super cliche to begin with. But a good mix of big dumb action and drama/love story, with a few funny lines thrown in. It was very entertaining.

    Nice cameos from both Lou Ferigno and the theme music to the tv series. Also, besides Stan Lee's cameo, the diner was Stanley's (Stan Lee's), which was cool.

    The final scene...WOW...just wow. Can't wait.

    loved it! much better than i thought it would be... never been a big hulk fan... in fact i hate the hulk... but edward norton is the BEST actor in hollywood right now IMO... and he added a new human dimension to an otherwise cartoony character...

    there were some great nods to former hulks and the tie in at the end to iron man (and i think i saw "stark industries" in the opening credits too) was very cool...

    great action sequences! great story! great flick! anyone who liked iron man should like this... more mature and sophisticated than spiderman and xmen IMO

    Trying not to give too much away, but don't think of that as a tie-in to Iron Man...think bigger. Also, yes, you did see Stark Industries in the opening credits, as well as Nick Fury's name.

    i dont think we have to shy away from talking about it too much... they show stark in the trailer for the movie and its obvious from the aftercredits of iron man that theyre doing an avengers movie... now we just gotta wait for capt. america and thor and were in business!
