The Incredible Hulk

Well, it hits tonight at some midnight showings. Any word, good or bad, from those who saw Preview showings & Etc...?

Word on the net seems to be that its actually pretty good.

Not Iron Man good, but that's asking a lot, in my opinion.

But it definitely sounds like its a good action movie and, more importantly, a good hulk movie.

I just got off the phone with someone who saw it earlier this week, and who knows his stuff.

He says it is good. Better than he thought it would be, though not as good as Iron Man. He felt the final battle scene was actually better than any battle scene in Iron Man.

I'm looking forward to it. The Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, and Thor movies will set up the Avengers movie well (and Ant-Man is still on track to be made as well apparently, though that is not required for the Avengers movie).

pretty good.

He felt the final battle scene was actually better than any battle scene in Iron Man.

This is not hard to do. The battles in Iron Man were very anti-climactic or short, other than possibly the initial one where he escapes.

I went and it was pretty good. Much better than the first movie. It was what i wanted and expected from a hulk movie, an action fest. I want to see an emphasis on the hulk's strength and brute and if he's going up against abomination, i want to see a devastated area when its said and done. You get that and more.

Just saw it, great movie, way better than I thought it would be, plus the ending is just awesome.

Another great Marvel movie for the year, almost as good as Iron Man, but not quite... just misses the mark.

Worth watching again.

With the interconnecting of their movie franchises, Marvel is setting themselves up so you *feel* like you're getting sequels of the same universe, one after the other, instead of waiting 2-3 years for a sequel.

Very smart.

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 have expected Professor X to show up.

I did hate though that they used cut scenes in the commercials (between stark and the general) that did not make it into the scenes. I hate that kind of advertising as it made me think something was coming after the credits.

It was well worth seeing. Even if I had to endure going to the "ghetto" theater and listening to some idiot talk about how great the jagguarnaut and xmen 3 (which beat out having to listen to the valley girl at iron man complain on how she didn't get it and she wondered why they didn't "get together")
