The Incredible Hulk

[The Grumpy Celt]

They actually had him say leave me alone (or something to that effect) and later...

"Hulk smash!"

Why don't they check out the results of the psych evals (that I think all soldiers go through now) BEFORE they give them super powers?

If the script called for him to be raised as British, he wouldn't have a Russian accent. I highly doubt they changed the script so that he could avoid the Russian accent - it's more likely that the producer/writer/director wanted to avoid it altogether.

Well, my impression is that they wanted to be faithful to the character's name, but wanted to lose the Russian KGB agent angle. There just wasn't much point in Roth doing the accent for the audience. I don't even think that the comics pay much heed to his Russian roots anymore.

Enjoyed this movie a lot, probably better than Iron Man. I'm going to have to remember to buy Marvel stock next year, during their lull between summer blockbusters.

Yeah I actually thought so too...

Is it possible to find some real footage of Cap?

Cap appears in the Hulk...and not just his name. You can view the clip here. The part you want is just before the 3 minute mark.

Cap's shield is also in Iron Man.

The vat the Super-Soldier serum was kept in, apparently mentioned something about Vita-Rays.

Saw the movie this weekend and loved it. The action was good as others have pointed out, but what really hit me were the little touches that connected it back to the old TV show. From the opening scene with Banner in the weird chair thing in the lab and the bullseye on his forehead, to the security guard Banner had to bypass with the pizza, and especially the touch of piano music when Bruce was down and out in Mexico... all those things really hit me the hardest. And was it me, or did Betty offer him stretchy PURPLE pants which he turned down?! I wasn't sure on the color.

Overall, it was very well done (better than the Ang Lee version) while not quite up to Iron Man's level. I definitely loved the last bit with Stark showing up. Cannot wait for the Thor movie and the Captain America/Avengers movies! Ant/Giant Man I could do without though. If Cap was really in there somewhere, my bet would be somewhere in the hospital when the general was visiting the soldier guy. Might have to see that part again to check...

I think one of the scientists or something mentioned Vita-Rays. I know that the vat you're referring to did mention a certain Professor Reinstein (aka, Dr. Abraham Erskine, the originator of the Super Serum formula in the comics).

Yep. Purple.

Reeeeally purple.

I saw it yesterday and enjoyed it, although I thought it ranked several notches below "Iron Man." I really hated the "redesign" of the Abomination. While I tend to be a comic book "purist," I was okay with the lack of a Gamma Bomb in the Hulk's origin, didn't miss Rick Jones at all, wasn't upset with the "Mr. Blue/Mr. Green" plotline from the comics a few years back being reworked into "Mr. Blue" being the future Leader, didn't mind Betty Ross being a brilliant scientist, and while I didn't mind Emil Blonsky's new origin in the least...I just could not get into his appearance as the Abomination at all. Yecch!

(And I was initially praising the choice of the Abomination as the main villain in the film, because I always thought that he would make the best foe for the Hulk in a motion picture.)

One last thing that bugged me: the size of Betty Banner's lips. Whoa, Nellie!

Still, a decent movie. Looking forward to Captain America, Thor, and Ant Man!

I liked the Abomination better than the fish-man he is in the comics.

Now if Warner Bros. could take that design and tweak it into a Doomsday for a Superman movie, I'd be happy.
