First thing i would say about this film is that it beats the pants off the last one, like batman it ignores its previous mistakes and starts again.

This is a comic book fans film, if you read the hulk as a kid you will pick up loads of hints during the film, nods to the past, and hints at the upcoming avengers film. The creation of a new bad guy (keep an eye out for that bit, again its only one scene.

whats wrong with the film....Tim roth is mis cast, i dont see him in the part and again its a hollywood example of making a brit the bad guy...even if he is supposed to bea russian brit.

This is not a movie of the year, but fun to watch for those who like the hulk and for any kids out there.

6.5/10

Hmmm... I've seen a couple of advertisements for this movie and it looks well made. Especially the special effects used for the muscles of the big green guy, what’s his name.
I'm not very familiar with any of the cast to be honest and I think the casting director could of done better in that area, but then again they might be very good actors who I just haven't seen much of.
Over all I'm quite impressed and interested in seeing 'The Hulk' and am sure it's much better than the last one, which was, quite frankly awful.

Ahhh, I was wondering what the deal with this film was....whether it was a sequel to the yawn-fest of last year (or was it the year before?) or whether it was the franchise being rebooted.

We went to see the new HULK movie at our local Cineworld(we have these Unlimted Passes so we can go as many times as we want to see whatever we want for £11.99 a month, well worth it) - we found the first HULK film with Eric Bana abysmal. My wife left the living room when we saw it on DVD as she couldn't get into it, and I just laughed my butt off at the awful Playstation 1 CGI FX. And Eric Bana has made a real classic movie in his time, anyone remember CHOPPER? That was class!! (Van Gogh club anyone?)

However, the new INCREDIBLE HULK movie - way superior!!! SFX much improved especially during battle scenes with Army vehicles and enemy creature in New York, story was better, great location shots of Rio De Janeiro in Brazil, stabs at tongue-in-cheek humor worked(the stretchy pants are always necessary when getting angry) - and hints of IRON MAN appearing in a follow up perhaps?! Was rooted from start to finish.

Oh, and Stan Lee himself doing his cameo appearances, that is a must for these movies!

Nick i think the iron man nod is more to do with the possible Avengers movie, multiple super heros also shield etc...

The Avengers film has been confirmed, along with a Thor film and a Captain America film. These all have the looks of some great films.

The new hulk was definatly better than the previous one as I found the previous one rather boring. However, this one was alot better in my opinion.

My favourite part of the film has to be where he said 'Hulk....SMASH!' We've all been waiting for that.

King Xerxes demanded that the Spartans lower their arms, to this Leonidas replied "Molon
Labe" Come and get them.
