It looks as if they are going to make more. It appears as if they have laid the ground for the Leader as the villian in the next instalment.

This one was much better than the one a from a few years ago. That one was disjointed and really off the wall. This one was well acted, paced well and kept the characters real.

I enjoyed it.

1. Edward Norton?
He must have considerable range...

He was the scary villain in the movie several years ago with Richard Gere...I forget the name. He was a murderer.

And now the Hulk...

Hmmm...

:hi:

3. I love Edward Norton, but
I do not like "The Hulk." One of my least favorite superheros. But, I guess I'll see it eventually because I love Edward Norton so much.

4. I think you are thinking of Primal Fear, CP. :)
And it definitely is a good movie and he is very talented! (Plus, he grew up in my hometown.) :woohoo:

2. My understanding is that it did worse $$$ wise than the first Hulk movie
And thus making future Hulk-centric movies a unlikely possibility. Not to worry though, he'll be in the Avengers movie in about 3-4 years.

By the way, did you catch any sign of Captain America in the begining of the movie? Heh-heh.

7. I missed it
but, I was watching it while my 5 1/2 year old daughter was coming in and out of the room, so my attention was not at 100%.

Or, are you talking about the super-soldier formula that turned the commando guy into the abomination?

12. In the artic ice scene, Captain America is in a piece of frozen ice that is smashed apart.
They don't make it obvious, but if you go back, pause the movie and slowly advance every second you'll catch a glimpse Captain America in a piece of broken ice. Yes, it was an attempt to recreate the super soldier formula that creates both the Hulk and the Abomination. Marvel is slowly maneuvering to have all their movies tie in together and bring about The Avengers (Hulk, Captain America, Iron Man, Thor)it will be glorious.

By the way, Captain America's shield made a cameo in the Iron Man movie as well.

5. I thought Art Carney was dead?
Oh well. Good to see him make a comeback; even if it's in a remake of a remake... :D

8. Better than the Ang Lee Hulk movie
but I've never been a big fan of The Hulk... Edward Norton makes a good Bruce Banner, though, and William Hurt was good in his role as well.

I thought the Ang Lee one was decent until the ending battle went way, way over the top.

9. Bill Bixby will always be the hulk for me
Edited on Fri Nov-28-08 04:16 PM by ikhor
i really loved the old TV series. I think it captured the essence of the Hulk, even with low budget special effects, etc.



Clearly!
