The previous Hulk movie was so bad that I have to admit to prejudging this new one. I haven't seen it yet. What was so good about it?

I haven't seen Iron Man yet - but I am hoping that Tony Stark/Iron Man is like he is in the comics ...

That is :

Sleazy Sexist Playboy
80s Moustache
Fightin' Commies
Winning the Vietnam War
Is an alcoholic with a serious heart condition...etc etc.

i thought the hulk was a nice simple story with good acting, no cheesiness, and some intense scenes...the story, for how simple it was, just kinda grabbed me a little more...

i though iron man was good...don't get me wrong....but it was just a little typical hollywood with some typical hollywood cheese that turned me off a little...

just my opinion

and yes the first hulk...or the hulk of a few years ago...was not good...which is probably why they took another stab at it lol

I havent seen the new Hulk movie, but the Iron Man movie is great, I just expected there to be more Sabbath!

And the wee bit after the Iron Man credits made it even better

I just find it kind of funny that the producers of the Hulk tried to pass off Yonge Street in Toronto as Harlem... they look nothing alike.

haha seeing the Zanzibar made me laugh.

And the fight scene was filmed at UofT!

I haven't seen Iron Man, but I have seen the Hulk.

it's not a sequel, but as (someone) said earlier, it's a reboot. same characters, just better.

I loved the movie. One of my favourites this year.

Norton was a good Banner, but the bad-guy British mercenary was terribly cast- the actor looked puny, out of shape, and old, even when he was made up to look super-ized. I could not believe him to be any more powerful or villainous than some weedy bitter old drunk cashing his welfare check. And the CGI hulk was just way too massive, scale-wise. The made him into freaking Godzilla. I know Hulk's huge in the comics, but not that huge. And there was way too much time spent pensively thinking and not enough time spent SMASHING. Long sections of the movie were dead boring.

Sorry Bayou- different strokes and all that.

Yeah, I thought Iron man was great, the incredible hulk was pretty darn good too... Except for Tim Roth's abs after the super-soldier formula...

I'm a bit surprised by that too. I like Terrence Howard, but I didn't think he was great in that role (his voice got to me) and I think Don Cheadle is a good actor, so who knows.

The problem with both of these guys is that they are b-roll superheros. There isn't the story depth with these characters with someone like Batman, the X-Men, Superman, et al. When you apply A-roll money and talent to b-roll source material you get a couple of movies that are pretty much just a "meh.".
