The Incredible Hulk

[Silver Moon]

Marvel seems to be making a "movie universe" similiar to how they have the ultimate universe and the original universe. I like it a lot. I half expected Professor X to show up.

Not going to happen - the previous Marvel movies are co-licensed to other movie companies who retain the options for future films and the characters. Marvel Entertainment can only add those characters when the license ends, as happened with Hulk. I believe that optioned licenses still remain for the Fantastic Four, Spiderman, X-Men, Ghost Rider, Punisher and Blade franchises. So you might see Matt Murdock/Daredevil or Electra in a crossover but none of the others.

I went last night with a few friends and we all loved it. I'd dare to say it was perfect and very well written. They did not over do it on all the "stuff" the Hulk could do, that is to say you did not hear "Hulk Smash" 10,000 times...

I even liked it more than Iron Man!!!

Well, you're right about those licenses, but let's bear in mind they have things laid out going at least through 2010. It's enough time for some licenses to expire, or to negotiate early releases. A lot of those franchises are up the air right now anyway: there are no plans for X-Men or Spider-Man sequels in the forseeable future.

Which was a stroke of genius.

I mean, I love post-credits scenes...but putting the Stark cameo in the actual movie cements it in the mind of the entire audience that these films are connected and there's more to come.

I like late-credits stuff, but having to wait through endless credits gets a bit tedious. Iron Man was a great movie, and I stayed for the last bit, but it seemed like the credits would never get there. Then the actual scene was so-so.

I enjoyed it a great deal. Saw how Captain America can look in action which was nice. Hints at Doc Samson and Leader was nice. Many minor laughs that non comicbook fans will possibly miss. Thinking about the comments of the purple pants that Banner could always find in the 60-80's.

Lots of action throughout. Not Iron man but hey- its the hulk. Its all about smashing the puny humans.

 

[HeavenShallBurn]

It was good, not quite up there with Iron Man overall but very close. The action was better than Iron Man and the Abomination/Hulk fight was spectacular. Good character development all round. Though I have to say if General CYA there were my father I would have killed him in his sleep before I'd gotten out of middle school.

I read a while ago in an interview with Gale Anne Hurd that X-Men 4 will happen maybe in about 5 to 8 years. She said that there were so many Marvel properties on schedule it will be a while before they address the X-Men again.

Here is the cut footage of Capt. America from the Incredible Hulk movie released today on the internet. I have no idea why they cut this. Cap is AWESOME!

I just got back from watching this and I thought it was pretty darn good. I wouldn't rate it as highly as Iron Man or the first two Spider Man movies but still pretty darn good. There were plenty of nods to the TV series and the big fight scene at the end between the Hulk and the Abomination was great. That kind of fight scene is exactly what the Ang Lee Hulk movie needed.

Great movie! If Iron Man And Hulk are examples of future Marvel Studios' movies, we're in for some treats!
