I saw it with my pops. It was pretty epic. +1 to being better than the first.

Edward Norton is pretty good. My favorite part was when they started the piano music form the incredible hulk show.

i saw it a few nights back, very well done....only thing i saw wrong with it is that it takes a while to actually haul you into the story line, but once it does, watch out.

Saw it this afternoon w/ wife and we both loved. I do think the ending "cameo" was cheesy. Thought it took away from the ending, since it was obviously added after the final cut. The earlier cameo was pretty cool...the guy is still a monster for his age!

If the trailer looks lame, then I'm afraid to see the movie.

Normally I would agree, but there have been a lot of quality comic book movies coming out recently. I hope they come out with a Deadpool movie at some point, because that would just be the best thing ever.

I know that this movie is based off the comic book, but I grew up with Lou Ferrigno and Bill Bixby as the Hulk, so anything else is just unwatchable for me. Especially when he's 15 stories tall and says "Hulk Smash".

Meh, I thought it was just ok. It was just a serviceable action flick without much to string all the action together. It was certainly entertaining, but not great.

I for one actually liked the first Hulk movie. Unlike this new one, it spent a lot of time on character development and plot - things that many people apparently didn't like. Sure, the Hulk himself looked a little cheesy, but then again so does this new one.

Anything has to be better than the "hulk poodle" in the Ang Lee version (admit it, that was so ridiculously stupid), but really, this one didn't leave me wanting to see it either, and I'm a fan of the comic. And I like Ed Norton. I guess I just still don't "buy" it.

Meh. Rental.

It was all right. Way better than the first in both CGI and story, but not anything to write home about. Iron Man was better in my opinion.

I do think the ending "cameo" was cheesy. Thought it took away from the ending, since it was obviously added after the final cut.

It should have gone after the credits, but because they're hyping an Avengers movie, and a large number of people don't sit through the credits and missed the cameo in Iron Man, they're taking an "the ends justify the means" approach.


I hope they come out with a Deadpool movie at some point, because that would just be the best thing ever.

He's going to be in the X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie that's coming out in 09. He's played by Ryan Reynolds.
