"As a longtime fan of Marvel Comics characters I’m having a blast with all the movies that have been coming out in the last eight years or so, going back to 2000’s X-Men. But while they’ve been alternately fun or exciting it’s just now that it’s getting interesting, with Marvel now tying all their movies together in anticipation of 2011’s The Avengers. The Incredible Hulk is quite good, and this is coming from someone who actually more or less enjoys 2003’s Ang Lee-directed Hulk. Edward Norton does a good job as Bruce Banner and everyone else, including Liv Tyler, is enjoyable as his love interest Betty Ross. What The Incredible Hulk manages to do is both be more serious and be more of a comic book movie. It’s fast-paced and exciting. Plus there’s a lot of inside Marvel stuff going on, including a lot of stuff about the Super Soldier serum that’s likely to tie into the upcoming Captain America movie.

"I am a big comic book reader and a devoted fan to most of the film adaptations that have come along, and this past summer was particularly filled with them. With films like Iron Man and The Dark Knight dominating the box office it seems that the Hulk got left in the dust (for the second time). Ang Lee's version was a disaster and the question I was asking through the entire movie was why we even needed another Hulk movie. It isn't a sequel to the Lee version and it basically just retells the origin story. Ang's version didn't have enough action and this one had to much, and talk about bad CGI the hulk looked like a man in a suit. The only redeeming thing about the film was the first half hour or so which was by far the most interesting thing in the film. The performances are wasted because of the material, I have learned because of The Dark Knight that just because it is a superhero movie doesn't mean the acting has to be bad. All I can really say is that if you are looking for an ... "

"After complaining several times that a lot of commercial movies are stupid and ridiculous, here I find one that has both of those traits, but like if for those reasons. It's hard- scratch that, it's impossible to defend on and intellectual level, but easy to like if you big explosions and fight scenes. The film is both a sequel to and reboot of the awful 2003 film Hulk by Ang Lee, who is a better director than Louis Leterrier but not for comic book adaptations. It begins where the first film left of, with Bruce Banner (Edward Norton) in South America, but the recap at the beginning reveals a slightly different origin for the Hulk than the original (and all the returning characters are recast). Banner is working at a soda bottling plant in Brazil and is working on anger management for obvious reasons. A mishap at the plant sends signals to the Pentagon where General Ross (William Hurt), who want to use the Hulk for to create a super breed of soldiers. He orders a military office ... "

"I always pictured Mongols as small and tough, riding across the steppes of Asia on their hardy little war ponies, each man keeping a vein open and clamped in his horse's neck so that he could drink its blood while in the saddle. These Mongol horsemen were all bowlegged and handled their innovative recurved composite bows with deadly accuracy. However, my son had a friend throughout grammar school whose father was a Mongol. Far from being small and bowlegged, this dude was built like a Tongan. He did have the Mongolian attitude that I imagined, though. When his wife told him that she was leaving him and taking the kids with her, he told her that she was free to go but that if she tried to take the children, he'd kill them all. She believed him. So he raised the kids. We took the boy on a camping trip once. His father gave him some money to help out with supplies. At our first stop - a general store down the road from the Rouge Y Noir Cheese Factory, he spent the whole wad on candy, ... "

"I've always liked the Incredible Hulk, but the CGI in this movie was just too much and I got really bored. (I saw it in the theatre, too.) Sometimes, I find the old-fashioned use of makeup and cinematic skill a better way to tell a story than to drug it up with CGI. it looks like cheating. But if you do like the Hulk, watch this movie. The ending is great. "

"I really enjoyed watching The Incredible Hulk - good story, character development, humor and action. It's no Iron Man, but it still holds up as a tasty piece of the Avengers pie. I think that it is incredible that a movie studio is taking a long-term view with the Avengers series. Sure, they could screw it all up with one bad movie, but so far, Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk illustrate some "integrity" and dedication to doing it right. I also have to add [cameo spoiler alert]....that I really loved it that they gave Lou Ferrigno a cameo roll. I just about lost it in the theater when I saw him. And in another reference to the TV series, it was great how they put a spin on Bill Bixby's well known line, "Please don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry." "

"Corey Mburu Wainaina is 14 year old aspiring video game designer, honor student and one of the world’s greatest players of Super Smash Brothers. I could think of no better commentator with whom to discuss either the state of the nation or the state of summer movies. But, um, luckily we veered off on a far less boring Hancock tangent. STEVEN BOONE: You have an interesting background. Your father is from Kenya and your mother is an American. Another African-American with heritage in Kenya is now famous around the world. What’s his name? COREY WAINAINA: Barack Obama. SB: What do you think about his candidacy? CW: I think it’s nice, but (whispers) it doesn’t matter because it’s lies. SB: What do you mean by that? CW: The government. Killing dudes and joint. SB: “Killing dudes and joint”? What does that mean? CW: The corporations… SB: Are you just repeating back to me things you’ve heard me say or– CW: No, I’m smart. SB: Where did you come by this information? CW: The news. SB: The news "

"Overall, the movie was great. The action scenes were exciting and the story line was good. There were a few scenes that were a little iffy as far as the CGI (special effects). This wasn't enough to ruin the movie though. I would go so far as to say I'd watch it a second time in theaters. I will most likely own this. It by no means is as good as Iron Man (2008), but that's to be expected. :) "

"“Where is the gunship?”, is the theme of The Incredible Hulk. Edward Norton stars in this smashing (get it?) story of love, guns and really big pants. After exposure to gamma radiation, whenever his heart rate skyrockets, Bruce Banner (Edward Norton) turns in to a huge, green, uncontrollable destructive machine, dubbed “The Hulk.” Desperate to rid himself of the radiation poisoning, he begins a relationship with a scientist he calls Mr. Blue (Tim Blake Nelson) to find a cure. He has to do this while in hiding because he is being hunted by the military, who believe he is property of the United States Government. He has to come out of hiding to get data before his accident and the only person he can get it from is his former girlfriend Betty Ross (Liv Tyler). A dangerous excursion, The Hulk is forced out. &n "

"Last night, the trailer for Disaster Movie premiered on MySpace. You can watch it after the jump. But considering it’s completely lacking in disaster spoofage, I’ve instead reserved the top spot for Disaster! (aka Disaster the Movie!), a claymation feature from a few years back that appears to have done much better with the disaster genre parody. Plus, it co-stars Motley Crue (in clay form, that is). What does this Disaster Movie have? Apparently parodies of all this summer’s blockbusters (maybe Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer should have titled this one “Summer 2008 Movie” instead?). There are jokes on Iron Man and
