This movie is a great and must see movie. Edward Norton is at his best. It had so much action, a little romance, and best of all it was entertaining. I know the first one was bad but you must see this movie! Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

They TOTALLY got it right this time around. They 86'ed the previous version and started fresh. This time they gave us a solid story and an actor that can live up to Bill Bixby's original portrayal. Thank you Ed Norton. Fight scences are savage & intense, with the Hulk doing signature moves. This is good movie making, with obvious tie-ins for sequels, that work. I though the Hulk was lost after that first crap-burger movie they gave us. What a come back!! Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More This Hulk was so much better than the first, well least I didn't fall asleep 3 times during this one, this one had enough action but in certain parts you were just dying for something to change him so things would get moving again. Edward Norton did a great job, I like him a lot better than Bana, Ed kind of reminds me of Bill Bixby at certain times, and he is alot more believeable than Bana was as this brilliant Scientist. All around I think kids and adults will enjoy this but the hard core Comic fans still will be a little unsatisfied! Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Geekstacy. Fan service perfectly blended with all the things that make an action movie great. Ed was the perfect man to play Dr. Robert Bruce Banner. Loved Tim Roth as always. Great CG work. SATISFYING. Well done Louis. Well done. *head asplodes* Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

He even gets bigger the angrier he gets. In the first film he jumped 3 miles at a time. In the comic he did too! The first movie was very psychological, but it had great action. I guess Debra was asleep when he jumped on the jet from the Golden Gate Bridge. This new film works very well. I love the theme music from the tv series, and yes the Hulk still looks fake, but this is the only way they can do it. This film has the Abomination from the comics and a great rock'em sock'em battle. I really liked the scene in the rain and check out that cameo! By the way, do you know why the Doctor's (Mr. Blue's) head started swelling? Because he got infected and will become a bad guy known as the Leader. So, please, all you naysayers. Stop seeing our movies if you don't like comic books! We love'em! Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Thats a big deal coming from me because it wasn't really my choice to go to this movie, i got dragged to it by my boyfriend. But when I got out of it I walked away feeling that the money I spent to see this film was well spent. I would advise anyone to go see this movie. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL?

Edward Norton is super acty. That British dude that played Evil Captain America/Bad Hulk was super bad. I saw the last Hulk movie directed by Spike Lee's brother, Ang Lee, and it wasn't horrid. I like Eric Bana too, as well as Jennifer Connolly, but they were super replaced by super better super people. So Marvel Studios once again came down from the sky and made a neat movie. Oh yeah, don't stay till the end of the credits. Ain't no special extra thing. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

way over-the-top on violence (think R, not PG-13, the MPAA was high when they rated this one). The studio execs no doubt felt there was too much character development in the original script and had big chunks cut out to make way for extended CGI fight scenes that were a complete assault on the senses (particularly near the end of the movie). Now we know why Edward Norton withdrew from publicizing the movie. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No |
