If they really ARE tying the Marvel universe together, and they're committed to using only A-list actors...well, this could truly be the beginning of something really cool.

I literally, won a five-dollar bet with my buddy. I told him "that faking jackass will be back on the court in five minutes." Sure enough, there he was - without his walker. Was Bennie Hinn in the locker room, or...?

By the way...why don't they have his wheel chair there at the bench for him, anyway?

So they're not just myths and legends? My damn brain just exploded!!

Harry didn’t mention Massawyrm among the contributors he pays. Thank Christ.

So please tell us, professional critic Massawyrm: who pays you for your reviews and how much do they pay you? Because I’m pretty sure everyone I’ve ever met could pretty much snatch that job away from you with minimal effort.

The story and acting may be good, but crappy CGI really kills films for me.

Bet Massa doesn't answer ol' Mose's question. I agree about Capone. Capone does seem to do a much better job with the movie criticism.

I know Capone saw it; where's the review?

I get the impression that the idea of a cinematic Marvel Universe is making certain people cream their jeans over this movie. I wonder if you take the appeal of that aspect out of the equation - for example I DON'T GIVE A FUCK - will it still deliver?

Geeking out over Captain America hints and crossovers is fine for some people, but it's not gonna carry the movie for me.

And, yes, I too would like to know who pays him enough to "make a living" with such poor verball skills.

I don't get the negativity on this one, been on board since Norton signed up. Looks fun to me.

I'm down with that.

As an aside, does anyone know if there are there any hot scrawny chicks shooting guns in their undies in this one?

the slackster at work early morning crowd is a much better group of talkbackers.

you know, how the hulk smashed his balls and his ass and then went down on his lady.

Frankie, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say no to the "hot scrawny chicks shooting guns in their undies". Though one would presume there would be plenty of S.H.I.E.L.D agents who would fit the bill, and could be worked into the movie quite nicely.

Honestly, I don't think I could survive the day without a bit of Ain't It Cool Banter.

I never watched past the second season unless they hyped some villain who might give the hulk a fight.

It was total crap as far as a super-hero show should be, and if the movie follows that scenario, it will be garbage.

I only hope that they have enough fight scenes to justify rebooting this, because if this is just the boring, melodramatic TV show made large, it will be the last Hulk movie.

I am holding my breath and will wait to see with my own eyes.

That would make my little horn grow too.

Good times.

Anyway, I'm pretty happy that this new Hulk adventure looks like it's going to include a few nods to the old show. I may have to rip up another shirt and re-commence the running and growling and that. I have better muscles now, but I fear it is less socially acceptable for a man in his thirties to tear about pretending to be a giant green monster.

GGGGRRRRRRRRRRAAAAA ARRRRGH!!!!!!!!

Never mind. I have begged a copy of The Bourne Ultimatum off a work buddy, and that will have to suffice instead. I don't know, though. Matt Damon's a good looking guy and all, but he has very little effect on my little horn.

P.S. Thanks for the phrase 'little horn', by the way. That's a good one. As punishment for your bubble bursting, I'm nicking it off you and pretending I made it up.

And until I see this one, I won't classify it as "fanboy-pandering, soulless garbage".

If it is like Iron Man, I will be quite happy.

Fair enough on the bubble bursting punishment.

I am already fantasising about security guards chasing me around desks while I hulk out...

I enjoyed some drmas back then even at that age, but when I tuned into the Hulk, I wanted to see the Hulk. Bill Bixby was a great actor, and was beloved, but the show was called The Hulk, not 'The travlller who solves peoples problems, whule running away from his own and turns into a non-talking Green guy sometimes". It was boring.

Plus I think this would make great you tube material.

That's not to say if I bought the show on DVD and watched it again as an adult I would still love it. Who knows? I learned my lesson when I watched some repeats of Blake's 7 a few years back and discovered one of my favourite childhood shows was actually quite boring and cheap. I'm not making that mistake again.

But I do get your point, and it has been rehashed so many times, on both Hulk and the dreck called Superman Returns.

Back in the 70's, in an FF comic, an Italian director (based on Fellini) wanted to make an FF movie. He says, with regards to the Thing, - in heavily accented comicbook Italian - 'My'a Ting he'a gon make'a you'a cry!'

He had no concept of whatthe public wanted to see. Action, fights, superheroics. Instead, he wanted to make a 'message movie'. Needless to say, the movie did not get made - even in the comic book! Why? becasue even back then it made no sense for an Auteur, or wannbe auteur, to make a superhero movie.

If you are going to just use the name of the character, and disregard why the character is popular - and it aint hard with superhero's - they fight big battles against big mean powerful and fugly villains, if you are going to ignore all of that, why make the movie to begin with?

You don't go to a Taco stand and order sushi (although they have fish tacos - but lets not go there).

do you not think that most of the people who are on here are "geektards" like Harry? as i've said before, too many times, go read Entertainment Weekly's review if you don't want a geeked out, sexual reference filled, typo ridden review.

thats what this site is.

You are right about Lee's Hulk (Ang's not Stan's). I actually like the movie, not love, but I do like it.

It was boring on the big screen, and kids just fell asleep watching it.

On the DVD, it is better - but the problem still exists in the interpretation.

Ang is a very good director, but he perhaps should have steered clear of that one.

Yeah, he's quite the ghoul.

Surfer- along with Adam Warlock (HIM!), who bored the crap out of me as a kid, appealed to a college counter culture, anti-war segment. I think it was Stans' wet dream to see a big screen Surfer mixing with pot smoking, bell bottom wearing big-haired hippies. With Jimi Hendrix music in the background.

I can't wait to get out of here so I can ride tonight. 90 damn degrees outside!

Anyways, I am excited to see this now because it sounds like there is actually a bad guy in this movie unlike Iron Man.

And how does Ang Lee not go back to the roots of the source material when half the film takes place in the freaking DESERT, where practically all of the 60's Stan Lee Hulk stories took place?! AND fighting the military, which was the main adversary in those early stories. And fighting all the different versions of Absorbing Dad had the feel of all those elemental villains the Hulk faced in the early Lee/Trimpe stories like Zzaax, Glob,or Golem. The Hulk in Space scene was also right out of the early Lee/Trimpe stories.

Hulk's gas on the other hand very stinky.

This film seems to have fixed those problems. When you add to that Ed Norton and Tim Roth, two of my favourite actors, the chance of it being utter shit is rather small.

Leterrier and the situation with Norton are my only worries about this film, so while the reviews here seem kinda suspicious to me, I actually think they might be accurate this time
