I thought it was awesome. Way better than Ang Lee's awful awful Hulk movie. Although curiously, it made almost exactly the same amount at the box office. I guess there's a set Hulk audience that will show up, and no more or less.

It's a shame the story was so small. A larger scope would have been interesting. But Iron Man suffered from the same thing.

I thought the commercial was funny. "It's as good as Iron Man!" Really? Don't have anything to say about its own merits? You can only try to push sales by name-dropping the #1 seller from a couple weeks ago?

Thats why this Blu-Ray is going to be so much better, because of the extra content that was cut from the film.. This is my most anticipated Blu-Ray release this holiday season..

I haven't seen the new Hulk, though I'm looking forward to do so.

I'm one of the few who has a bit of fondness for the first one. I'm not saying it is a "good" movie, but more of a flawed nice try. One of its two main problems could be fixed by simply cutting about 20 minutes or so. The other would be to film a completely new climactic battle (with his father), since the one in the film definitely stunk badly.

Well there is plenty of battle in the second one, but sadly little story! And NO sex!

Bruce couldn't have sex, or the excitement would make him hulk out.

Well, if he expands in proportion to the rest of his body, I could see a few women being somewhat frightened.

But it's true, gratuitous sex scenes usually increases viewership. Too bad the story line couldn't involve him having sex with Wonder Woman, they could have even added a bondage scene whereby she ties him up with her lasso.

I think I just developed a story line for a new porno. I better see some royalties out of it.

I didn't go see the new Hulk at theatres because the first one sucked so bad it scared me away. Even though I am a Edward Norton fan too.
I actually watched Ang Lee's Hulk a second time because I thought maybe I might have missed something when I watched it the first time, so I gave it another chance.
Nope, I hated it just as much as the first time I watched it.

Hearing lots of good things about this blu-ray is encouraging.
