Ok, out of all the marvel comic super hero adaptations to film I think this was the worst. Way to slow, and it jumped around a lot. The constant flashbacks became annoying after a while not to mention the picture-in-picture effect was confusing as to which window you should be watching. Nothing beats the "god" ending where Bruce's father basically turns into god which was totally unexpected and....to be honest completely unnecessary. At the end I felt like I was watching Aladdin when Jaffar turns into the super evil genie. After a point all I did was look forward to watching the Hulk smash things in the middle I basically fell asleep from dear boredom.

These are of course, my opinions I am interested in seeing other's opinions.

this movie was really horrible. as s3rgio said it really jumps around alot, and i personally felt that the hulk really didnt look all that realistic. i love cgi (matrix was awesome) but this movie reallly didnt impress me much. i havnt been a fan of the comic book/ novel's to movies, even the spiderman movie wasnt really all that i thought it hyped up to. lotr even wasnt that great. infact, i couldnt sit through the whole movie. i usually got up and played wiht the pc around the time that froto was stabbed with the sword and was on the horse with the girl. i just cant get into these type of movies.

well guys guys this is just my opinion ... I just wanted to see what other's opinions would be as well.

Oh and...



I thought that the Hulk looked really good, I don't know how much better you could have had it aside from making a stupid puppet or painting some body builder green.

To be honest those were the only parts that kept me awake but that stupid picture-in-picture effect...god.. "it was to capture the feel of the comics" yeh ok Ang Lee, Spider-Man didn't do it and it was a pretty good movie, but you wanted to cover new ground. By covering new ground you must have meant, making the movie utterly confusing as to which screen to watch. I said this by someone today and this was there responce "well lol (yes he really lol'ed) it's so you can see it multiple times" yeh or not I shouldn't have to see a movie multiple times to see what was in the movie.

If you got a date, then watch Hulk, it's so boring, I think you'll just spend the whole movie making out.

These are of course, my opinions I am interested in seeing other's opinions. Well, after watching the Hulk. I can't say it was half bad. Though not one of Marvel's better movies. I will say that it is worth watching this movie in the theater, especially one with a really large screen and quality sound system. Some of the movie magic would probably be lost in most home theaters. I'd say this is suited as a matinee or discount theater movie.

I can see how someone would hate the scene transitions and multiview shots, but I thought it really gave it a better comic book feel to the movie. The biggest thing I had problems with is that they turn his dad into Absorbing Man, and that they turned Bruce's Gamma Radiation into a "non-leathal" project. Oh, well. My favorite part was the cameo of Stan Lee and Lou Ferrigno coming out of the University as security guards. :lmao (For those of you too young to know Lou was the original TV Series Hulk)

I wonder how what The Punisher will be like.

I just seen it tonight. I went into it with bad expectations, and it actually turned out all right. Then again, I was a fan when I was a kid. The only thing that sucked was the multiple angles constantly in the screens. That blew, but aside of that, it wasn't too bad.

I think certain movies, you have to go out of morbid curiosity in order to become pleasantly surprised.

OH GOD don't get me started. I saw a prescreening of it. Like 2-3 months before it came out. I wanted to shoot myself, but luckily I didn't waste any money on it. Actually I got a free movie ticket...so I guess it wasn't that bad a night...MOVIE SUCKED.
