It's big, green, and more importantly...

It's out.


Kicking this off because I couldn't find a current Hulk thread in D&D, and I needed to get my geekness out! Plz lock if needed, kthx.


Saw this tonight... and it was awesome, Ed Norton was brilliant (not that I'd expect anything less), and the movie was well paced with a solid plot and a great villian- the theater crowd was full of nerds so the collective reactions were great, like when
Spoiler:

Far better then the Ang Lee version in every way. Also, best Stan Lee cameo evar.

Some things to watch for in the opening credits: (spoilerd for safety, but no big ones)
Spoiler:

Liv Tyler's Betty Ross was well played, and Tim Roth as Blonsky=Perfect, just the right amount of ambition/craziness to not be cheesy.


Also at the end...
Spoiler:

So please... rant, rave, discuss!

    So just from the previews, can I assume this is covering pretty much the same ground as Hulk:Ultimate Destruction story-wise? If so sign me up.

    Saw it yesterday. It was alright, Tim Roth was great but everyone else was merely serviceable. Also, I thought it felt like the movie was missing an hour of footage or so....

    ...wait, Marvel did cut 70 minutes of the movie.

    I was forced to leave right after the 'final scene' so I don't know if there was anything after the credits.
    I wish I had stayed.... tho I don't know what they would have put there....

    Aleph- Damn.... there were a few parts that went.... quickly, so there was obviously some cut, but 70 min? Here's to hoping for a directors cut or something.

    There was nothing after the credits. I think they basically threw the "after credits" scene before the credits.

    I found the guardian review mildly amusing, if a little predicatable. http://film.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/Critic_Review/Guardian_review/0,,2285042,00.html

    edit: that 70 minutes sounds like just random crap. "I want to put everything we shot, you know? I’m not the kind of guy that likes to keep the stuff for myself. I’m like, okay you student filmmakers, here’s what I did right and here’s what I did wrong and in some of the stuff, in the 70 minutes, there’s some great stuff and there’s some really horrible stuff, but you’ll see it all, you know?"

    Excellent comic book movie. I don't think it was as good as Iron Man but it was still well done. This is giving me high hopes for Marvel's intentions with future movies and franchises. Sadly the next one won't be out for a couple years.

    Good balance between Ultimate and 616 universes too. They're doing a great job of cherry picking the better parts of the two and improvising just enough on their own.

    That's generally the theme. Half the time a new story arc starts he's in some secluded part of the world hiding from the military.

    Just back from watching it, bloody awesome. I actually preferred it over Iron Man, but thats just me. I love how certain sections felt very similar to Bourne movies, worked very well.

    I don't think it's incredible as talked about, but I really did enjoy it. The last 15 or so min was just, magic. If someone were to ask me, it's as good as Spider-Man 1 after seeing Spider-Man 2. Worth the money for sure.

    Bah. Planet Hulk was a good example of Hulk just wanting to be left alone.

    And never getting to be until it was too late. Poor guy.

    Though most importantly, I think we all learned that a true bad ass rips out one of their opponents bones to stab them with it.

    Just saw it. I was pleasantly surprised; when I first heard they were doing another Hulk I was cautiously optimistic, but they really did a good job on this. Almost everything I wanted in a Hulk movie, they put in*.

    I love all the little gags, like the purple pants or Ross's "You always wear such fancy suits" line to Stark.

    I saw it with a smallish crowd (small town), but it was still pretty fun. There were some winces during the Blonsky injection scene, but the biggest "OOohhhhh!" was when Banner couldn't bang Liv Tyler for fear of Hulking out.

    Worst superpower side effect ever.

    There was a mixture of 'awwwww' and laughter in my theater, especially at her disappointed groan when he's all 'I can't!'

    I think the biggest reaction was Blonsky getting kicked into the tree.

    He totally asked for it tho.

    "IS THAT ALL YOU'VE GOT?!" *foot to face*

    I almost started clapping.

    So what exactly happens to the Abomination, since Hulk doesn't actually strangle him? Does he die anyway, or what?

    I stayed until the end and found nothing to reward me. Boo.

    That said: Damn fine Hulk movie. All my quibbles are pedantic and therefor ignorable.

    Honestly it had my on board when the origin requirement was covered in 15 seconds of the opening fucking credits. Whoever had that idea deserves much in the way of kudos.

    I'm betting on the Triskelion for Abomination. If they're following the Ultimate universe with the super soldier serum stuff I wager Fury wants him for study.
