Question.

Is The Hulk movie any good?

I've been sort of avoiding it for some reason. Which is odd because I've got loads of superhero DVDs.

Yeah!

It has more action than the 2003 one (which is also worth seeing but is separate and not in the same continuity, and also more psychological in tone) and it also has more references to the series from the 80s. Also lots of nods to Iron Man which a=came out the same year, with a cameo from RDJ at the end, and lots of Stark tech and Nick Fury mentions, also references to the Captain America Super Soldier serum

You should definitely see it before you see The Avengers (Assemble...)

The funny thing is, I loved the 80s series. That end music practically had me in tears every time.

they never really say its not in the same continuity. it actually works quite well as a sequel AND a remake at the same time. so it depends on your preference for the Ang Lee movie. you can ignore it, or not, and the Incredible Hulk still works.

BTW, Stan lee has, i think, his best cameo in this

I always thought of it as a straight sequel

I thought both Hulk movies were very good.

[Tonyblack]

I didn't know there were two.

[Catch-up]

Ugh, I hated the 2003 Hulk. My suggestion would be to pass on it. The second one was so much better!

Same here Tony

[Conforumist]

I'd say judge for yourself Tony.

Good idea, shouldn't have told you to pass on it. Watch the 2003 one first though, save the best for last.

It will be a case of, if I happen to find a copy at a car boot sale or in a charity shop, and if the price is right.

You'll like the "look" of the '03 Hulk much better I think. The new one was too ripped. I think too many pooped on the '03 one for no reason.

this man speaks the truth.

i still like the newer one better, but the older one is far too maligned to be fair.

Thanks Raptor!

I watched it really expecting to love it. I just found it to be really tedious and not engaging at all. I'm happy to sacrifice special effects for a great story, but just didn't feel that's what happened. Plus, Eric Bana was just horrible. He didn't make you like the character at all.
