  • 3 stars out of 3 or 5?

  • @ludwiggreensparkle You must be crazy, Iron Man is the best Marvel film yet and u say you dont like it cause it's slow. ITS CALLED HAVING A STORY DUHH.

  • @95200Naruto All MCU movies are the best, no like coproductions

  • The more I watched the first Hulk movie, the more I liked it. But the more I saw The Incredible Hulk, the less I liked it. I still think the hulk looked better in the first movie. Sure, he was a little "too green" but at least the frame rate of the animation wasn't as choppy as the sequel. Plus the lighting on the hulk in the sequel was too "cartoonish" and blurry. In a lot of the day scenes it looked like the hulk was poorly super-imposed.

  • this dude is high as a fucking kite...the incredible hulk was better than iron man...i loved iron man but i felt it was waaaay too slow...the hulk was fast and adrenaline charged the way a hulk film should be...the way any marvel film should be

  • Movie was good...but if it stayed true to the comic could have been amazing.....

  • Is it just me or the hulk in this movie looks too "cgi" than the first movie?

  • @KMLVIDEOS it's just u....

  • I agree , good review Mr. Phillips

  • For me this movie was better than the ang lee version, but i think the big problem its the strength of hulk, he is too weak, and when he get punch by the abomination he doesn't became more angry or more powerful... except when his girlfriend is in danger. at the end after the credit you see Ironman... I hope they dont forget that, they have to make a sequel lol

  • @Hanoua2 That cameo appearance with Ironman was what made me really surprised. If anything I think this was the first Marvel movie to introduce a character from another made Marvel movie. Small thing to be surprised about, but you know haha.

  • @Hanoua2 they show the end with Tony Stark cuz of the new movie The Avengers

  • movie was beast much better than the first

  • This version of the Hulk was much better in my opinion than Ang's version. I actually put it almost on par with Iron Man. The fight scene is just phenomenal, much more intense than Stark vs Stane. I also like how the Hulk's power is limited in this film as opposed to the 2003 version, and by giving him a bigger and stronger opponent. The new design was cool too, a freakishly ripped Hulk he is. All in all, this film was fantastic.

  • the first hulk was soooooooooo boring!

  • @isheildmexicans definitly agree it took like an hour just for the hulk to show up in the first one i was so annoyed

  • I liked Michael Phillips' version of Hulking out, LAWLZ.

  • ? why did u watch it then. this was way better than the first film so ur obviously not a hulk fan. and how were the action poorly shot? youve given no reason to back up your point so why make one lol

  • Frankly, this Hulk sucked to me, why directors thinks that takin´away powers or size from a Character like Hulk, it´s gonna make him more likable or more appealing to the public or more realistic?.

    This Hulk looks like it can´t pick up a tank, the first Hulk, Eric Bana´s, it does what Hulk it´s supposed to do, take gigantics leaps, pick up a tank, and even shoved emotions.

    Anyways, just my two cents.

  • you think the eric bana hulk was better? wow what are you a child it sucked so bad that marvel said it did not happen...plus edward norton is better than eric bana anyday

  • yeh see i agree with this a little, lets b honest the biggest problem with this film was just the size of the hulk, was a lil annoyin he wasnt bigger coz of that control shit, tbh when he turns into hulk isnt that suppose to be when he looses all control anyway?

  • I agree I think Eric Bana's Hulk was more true to the comic book character for being an indestructable 15 foot tall beast. This hulk is barely 10 feet tall and the CGI here looks more grainy and fake then the bana one which was at least consistantly green. Also how does Edward Nortons pants not rip all off. At least the Bana Hulk wore tights and the WIlliam Hurt looked comical here probably the worst wig and acting i've seen from him ever.

  • In many ways this verision of the hulk should of been the version that Ang Lee directed in 2003, why cause everyone was so hooked with the first spiderman movie and how close to the comic book was that. When they annonced that a film verison of the hulk would be made in 2002 for a showing in 2003 the fans naturally expect this will be a good as the first spiderman movie! When I saw it I was disappointed alot.

  • Chargerman76, are you high? The first one was NOT better than this one!!!!!!!! The new one was waaaaaaay better than than Ang Lee's and it's much more entertaining!!!

  • 3 stars? 3 stars?!! FUCK YOU, MICHAEL PHILLIPS!!!!! It was an incredible movie and it had a lot of positive reviews from the audience and therw was a kid who thought it was awsome how the Hulk stabbed the abomination and I was blown away by the movie and I'm soooo much happier than with Ang Lee's version. And I remember the tv reviews saying that it was ranked as "#1 movie in the world" I know what I heard!!!

    It was a pure kick-ass movie, 5 STARS. Nuff said!!!

  • mr1mills, persephonepictures, that is fuckin bullshit!!!!! Spiderman did not suck and was not a terrible movie. It was one of the best movies I ever saw and had a great time in the theaters watching it. Hell, it even made me laugh in some funny scenes!! Plus another sequel to be made as well. Truth is, if Spiderman did suck, no one would go and see it and wouldn'r make any money. But the movie were sucessful!! Anyway, yeah, the Icredible Hulk was an awsome movie, man.

  • LOL He sared me when he said "Was it better than spidey 3?...Yes." i was sure he was going to say no

    SPIDEY 3 SUCKED Nuff said

  • I complete agree, Spider man 3 was a terrible movie

  • btw , the first movie was way better then the second ! but i did like the endind with tony stark.

    btw, in the comics the hulk kick ironman and his team to a pulp. before the hulk joins the team him self.

  • the problem is, that the directors who made the hulk dont really now the stories from the comics.

    how powerful and bad he really is. the made him smaller in the new movie, wtf. and because of cost in cg they have way to little hulk in the movie.

    fks, the hulk doesnt need annything to protect him against tank shells etc. but in the movie he protects himself all the time from objects.

  • I totally agree with you to the fact that he used to many objects to block or protect himself, but I liked the fact that they gave him enough intelect to use the objects to fight with even though his fists are more effective. And as far as his size I really thought It was more resonable than the first one plus he could still get bigger from getting angreer.

  • He is indestructible, but that doesn't mean the bullets and grenades don't hurt. Even if you were wearing a bulletproof vest, getting shot still hurts like hell even if it doesn't enter your body.

    This Hulk pays alot more homeage to Lou Ferrigno's Hulk, not too big, doesn't get bigger, but still badass.

  • Thats shoun't be bothered by that. But when I saw him rip a car apart, and thought, "He did the same thing in "Ultimate destruction!" COOL!!!"

  • @chargerman76 in the first one Hulk bent the top of the tank down th block the tank shell and dodged the bomb so he wouldn't get hit but still WHAT THE CRAP 2ND ONE WAS WAY BETTER adding top critics even said that the 1st one was horrible. and anyway the first took like how like an hour to show hulk this one got to the point right away n dont say it was to get the story across other movies got stories across to main points right away the 1st 1 sucked the 2nd one kicked MAJOR butt

  • This movie was amazing and very exciting.

    Way better then the last movie. That one was slow, silly and boring.

  • I prefer Hulk... iron man is good but it misses something, i don't know exactly what

  • It missing The Avengers!!!

  • uh XD

  • yes exactly.

    Iron Man > Dark Knight

    Incredible Hulk > Iron Man

  • very good movie.

    not even close to Iron man though. I think it was a big mistake to release it like a month after Iron man. no one wanted to see this. they should've should've released it later

  • They better make a sequel.

    The only thing is that they need to change the cgi to the same company that did Transformers.

  • hulk suckeddddddd

    good opening but it went down hill from there

    iron man was better and TDK WAS WAY BETTER THAN BOTH

  • You gotta be extremely high on some good sh*t to think that TDK was better than Ironman and The Incredible Hulk. Like everyone else, you need to get over Heath Ledger (RIP).

    Lay off the drugs buddy!!

  • Amazing what they can do with Pixels. Wonder what Pixar's gonna come up with next. Probably a superhero called Thor.

  • First of all, am I the last man alive who enjoyed "the third Spider-Man movie"?

    Secondly, I completely agree with your review. It's not as great as Iron Man, but it's certainly an improvement over Ang Lee's crap, as well as Ghost Rider, Rise of the Silver Surfer, and Daredevil.

  • I liked Spiderman 3, not as good as 1 or 2 but its not terrible.

  • I had big hopes for this movie. And it is WAY better than the old one. WAY BETTER. And the action scenes were great, but thier wasnt that many of them and the acting and actors wasnt that great. And kinda boring.

    But 1.spiderman 3 wasnt that bad. 2.F4 2 wasnt horrible. 3.I really liked ghost rider. That was very good in my opinion.

    And iron man was better than this, and dark knight was better than iron man. THOSE ROCKED!!!!

  • 1.Spider-Man 3 was entertaining, and the only problem I have with it is the villains; especially Venom.

    2.Rise of the Silver Surfer just didn't entertain me. I liked the first F4, but ROTSS wasn't appealing.

    3.Ghost Rider is a fucking mess of horrible acting, meh special effects, and some of the worst dialogue ever!

  • Ya spiderman 3 had problems with the villians. I loved vemon in all the comics shows but they fucked him up in that. And they had a scrawny guy play him, he is suposed to be a buff jock. Plus u only got to see his face like once the entire movie.

    I liked both F4's. Not the best movies out there but they were entertaining.

    Ya ghost rider had a low budget but i still really liked it. I can see y some wouldnt though.

    Everyone has their own opinion i guess.

  • i acctuly really enjoyed this movie waaaaaaaaaaaaay better than the first

  • Me too.

  • @zzman4

    Meeeeeeeeeeee Tooooooooooo!!!!! 

  • @zzman4 me too,, I actually liked it,, thought it was cool with the effects and the new remade hulk,, I hope they make a 3rd movie with lets say Avatar graphics =D

  • this film was disappointing but it had enough good action scenes to make it worth it.

    But I really thought it would be something more special

  • hey shit for brains. that ? mark thing is not needed you fool! as soon as you click reply and send a message it goes directly to my inbox you fuck! and you message is indented and appears under mine. so there is no need for you to do that!!!! get it through your head! and you call me stupid??? you are a 31 year old buffoon arguing with people on the internet.

  • hey idiot...for someone using some retarded antiquated computer nerd speak...you should realize that when you click on REPLY...your message appears under the person you are talking to...ergo, no need for your stupid name? thing, you idiot.

  • you are a complete boob for putting a ? after someones name. just ask the goddamn question. are you some short form using programming nerd idiot type??

  • *What do you think of his Hulk?

  • Since you're 31, I assume you've read Hulk comics drawn by Sal Buscema. What do you of his Hulk? I think that version is the perfect Hulk and they catched that look well in this film.

  • Why do you say "HRVDNT?" with a question mark in every comment?

    Kong smash.

  • And you're telling me this because...?

  • Sure, whatever you say. I'm a Hulk fan since 25 years back so I have nothing against that.

  • The best Hulk movie to date.

  • love this movie!

  • superheroes movies don't have to be action packed. Too much action inevitably makes a movie feel hollow. To be honest I think there was just a little too much action. However I like it just the same. I like the fact it it's part bourne movie, part comic book movie.

  • AWSOME MOVIE!!

    perfect blend of the comic & TV show.

    Norton was great. cast was fine.

    Hulk was awsome.

    Just too short though

  • at first I thought his name was Michael Phelps lol

  • The origin story's are great if they are done correctly, like in my opinion Iron Man & Batman Begins. I thought those two comic book movies were done very well. But the 08 HULK is definately my fave movie.

  • 3 stars?

    oh man you are a retard

  • stupid this is the sequel to the last Hulk movie..hahaha..don't say anything unless you're sure of it or else you will sound dumb..like now..:)

  • What?! The movie was NOT a sequel (unless I totally misunderstood what you wrote) but a REMAKE.

  • its not a sequel,youre crazy

  • This Movie is the best movie ever next to The dark night

  • I liked the movie but i didn't care for the final fight scene, if should have been better. I think they showed the hulk more in the first movie.

  • i see where you're going, but the hulk comics aren't only about the hulk but also about bruce banners fight internally against the hulk.

  • i thought the final fight was amazing, what didn't you like about it? too long? I actually thought this movie was better than iron man. it was deeper and more dramatic. but iron man was good too.

  • The end of the fight made no sense. The hulk was overpowered in every way but he was able to grab the chain, put it around the other guys' neck and choke him until he passes out. I think they could have been a little more creative.

  • If you didn't know, hulk's power increases with anger so that was probably how he killed abomination. And I'm not just talking about the ending, I talking about the whole fight from the beginning

  • I will agree with you this movie was a little better than iron man. But that has to do with the directors and the fact that iron man was an origin story. I hate origin stories in movies. Batman begins went through the same shit. But everything got better when The Dark knight came out. This is the Hulk movie everyone has been waiting for. I hope the captain america movie wont be a long origin story like Irom man.

  • yes you're right, hulk jumped right into the action, do you agree with me that the incredible hulk had more internal conflict(Bruce wanting to control the hulk)? In Iron man Tony had everything, but they did do a good job with the idea of having what you really want right in front of your face(pepper potts being in love with Tony) that was a cute little moral for them to throw in.

  • it takes place when hes in the war so duh its going to be an origin story!

  • two trucks

  • Shut the fuck up you useless cunt.

  • atleast i'm not a little bitch

  • shut the fuck up, no wonder you listen to fallout boy you little fan girl

  • Take some Viagra since you've gone soft and cranky, and I also think you're past due for a nap.

  • i Loved this movie,but i felt it was only on for like an hourr lol.

    but 5 stars :D

  • i'd give it fair 2 stars

  • I'd have given it two.

  • I think this movie was quite bad...i love Hulk as a character, but i was really disappointed by this version...i think the ang lee version was good, this one was really dumb and the special effects weren't that good either, too much (and bad) action and no heart or depth (sorry for my english, i'm italian)

  • Are you serious? The Ang lee version was horrid.

  • u are def one of the only people who thinks that shitty movie was better

  • I was surprised of how good the movie was. Don't get me wrong, Dark Knight will rule all but Iron Man & The Incredible Hulk are great movies as well.

  • the graphics sucked

    everything else is good though

  • BOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    4.5 STARS

  • This movie was okay, nothing special. Kind of cheesey in some parts.

  • All you dumb asses suck ! The Dark Knight will be the best comic hero movie EVER!

  • these guys are just whores

  • This review is rediculous, while the movie isnt better than iron man overall but u cant compare the action in this movie to iron man. The action is AMAZING, this is probably my second fav superhero movie after iron man. i think the dark knight would be better than both tho. i would give this at least 4 stars.

  • yeap, the action in HULK is way better tahn in IRON man. but iron man is just plain Cooler than hulk, and its more enjoyable to watch.

  • oh yeah, anyone can go see iron man but i dont think kids under 10 would like hulk because its ALL noise. I cant wait to see iron man two. I think with these new movies they got the casting right thats what really did it.

  • This movie is fantastic and hasn't been given enough credit. I took two unwilling friends who ended up being amazed and are now recruiting others to go see it. The cast was amazing, the story was tight, the links to the tv show and the special affects make this movie a must see! Forget the first one happened and go see it for yourself.

  • omg this guy is such a faggot. how does he give WallE a 4 and hulk a 3. makes no sense

  • The Incredibles is better than this...Not that hard to see why Wall-E is better.

  • i love the special effects in iron man but the hulk had a more aggressive action pact fight scene.

  • I think Incredible Hulk was way better than Iron Man. Iron Man had some pretty bad acting and corny jokes.

    Incredible Hulk is definitely in my Top 5 favorite Marvel movies.

    GO SEE IT!

  • This guy is an idiot that movies was just as great as Iron-man maybe a lil more...his just and guy that gets paid for bashing movies on youtube wtf... i give hulk 20000 starts if i could =)

  • I wonder if the Japanese military leaders had delusions of grandeur. Maybe they thought that they would be just as successful as the Mongols were 800 years ago. The Japanese certainly wanted to conquer all of China just like the Mongols did, and they even made an attempt to conquer Mongolia. The Mongols conquered almost the entire known world, but the Japanese were left with just their islands after 1945.

  • it would prob be a good thing if

    Japan took over China...

  • The entire KNOWN world, which at the time, was actually quite small(from their point of view).

  • i agree with this critic entirely. everything he said was very well noted. iron man cant be topped but it was significantly better than spidey3

  • He failed to note the REAL reason why this was movie was so good. They made sure their script was great, and they made you care about what was going on!

    Same as Ironman!

  • The script was OK, it had great pacing, and moved the film well. But I didn't give a crap about Liz Tyler or Will Hurt, their performances being so mediocre made me wish they got killed off. Honestly, the 1st 3rd of the film was brilliant, with the favelas. Once they got out of there, it lost that magic.

  • im just saying if he would have been th first hulk he would have crushed the abomination

  • the hulk is small in this one the last one he was like 15 ft tall and he grew when he got mad.

  • Well at least he didn't fly in this one (well technically in the first one he jumped up and stayed in the air for awhile like one of the Mario Bros.). And also, this one wasn't like Jurassic Park. Sorry to you Ang Lee fans, but that first one was pure crap!

  • Thats wat i said! he did samsh shit like he did in the 1st movie!

  • i like that they got his size right in this one instead of hulk being 15 ft tall he's only 7ft

    but i do like the look of the 2003 hulk better.

    i hated the abomination they should have kept him like he looks in the comic and they should have fought during the day insted of at night so you could see the action better i don't know why in all marvel movies the main fight is at night. also i hate the green goblin in spiderman the power ranger suit had to go

    just stick to the comic version.

  • spiderman 3 was pretty good, i dont see what all the fuss is about! the hulk was the best superhero movie though, ever ever

  • 3 out of 4?.... hmmm... that's not bad.

  • i thought it was worth 4 stars.

  • the hulk movie was better than the other one so if you hate the new hulk movie your a bitch

  • IN THE END IS A PART WHERE IRON MAN SPEAKS TO GENRAL ROSS AND SPEAKS OF PUTTING TOGETHER A TEAM.... oh yeah there will be a sequel!!! NOT BORING AT ALL BTW... TOOO BAD HE COULDNT BANG THAT GIRL.........

  • The sequel will actually be an Avengers movie.

  • The first one they made sucked, the actor sucked ass. There was too much fucking CGI.

    Edward Norton pwns.

  • Iron Man was a good movie. I haven't seen the new Hulk but I heared it was boring movie but I'm sure not as boring as the first one directed by Ang Lee.

  • good until the fight between sewer lewer and hulk

  • YEAH

  • There's going to be a sequel, in case you missed the ending.

  • spiderman is a joke now

  • not really they just have to get a better director, better peter parker, and better Mary jane. They basically gotta do what they did here with the hulk with spiderman

  • Spiderman 3 was Awesome!Why does everybody think it was bad?You guys are idiots.Toby Mcguire was a great Peter Parker and so where the other characters.If the director didn't do well,why are there 3 Spiderman movies out?There is no way the Hulk was better than Spiderman 3!You are insane!Who is this Michael Phillips any way?I've never heard of him!

  • because it was bad

  • Shut up you don't know what your talking about.You idiot.

  • you can suck my fat hairy balls because i have seen all the super hero movies and when i saw spider man three i wanted to dump gasoline all over my self and light myself on fire that movie sucked dick

  • That was the best superhero movie I've ever seen other than transformers.You are DUMB!Maybe you should go light yourself on fire after saying that!

  • maybe you should suck your dads dick bitch

  • very true

  • Yeah, I really liked the first one but the third was pure crap. If they make another, I will not see it!

  • shit i give it 5 stars!!

  • Spoken from a true Hulk fan i thought the movie was a great tribute to the comics and tv series. Its as if the 2003 movie never happen. The Hulk has a bright future with Marvel studio, the 2nd film will be a jewel just as Spiderman 2.

  • please dont reply

    I think everyone has a different taste in movies. After watching this review out of curiosity and reading the comments everyone likes different stuff. I think iron man needed more fighting less explaining and i didnt care for it too much. my alltime favorite is the spiderman series because it has a mixture of everything and transformers was slow then it picked up the pace.

  • I would have to concur. It is by far the best recent movie adaption to any Marvel Super Hero. I also enjoyed how the director payed homage to the TV series multiple times in the movie. The shirt ripping, the piano theme, Bill Bixby and Luo Ferigno , Stan Lee cameos. All so great!!

  • there was a self refrencial joke in the movie with the purple shorts ACUALLY

  • Dark Knight is going to be THE movie of the Summer, can't wait!

  • Spider Man 3 was pretty bad. I didn't see Transformers, but know that annoying kid Shia LaBeouf was in it, so I don't want to see it. The Hulk on the other hand was pretty good. I thought it was very classy for the filmakers to give the two leads from the television series cameos in this one (of course Bill Bixby's was posthumous). Still miss the old days when they used actors instead of CGI. Lou Ferigno is THE Hulk! Iron Man was okay, not spectacular, but okay.

  • What the Hell?

    He gives THe Incredilbe Hulk 3 stars?

    I give it 4 STARS!!!

  • you have to see Transformers that is a great great movie

  • Well from what I've heard it's totally an effects movie.  No offense but that's not what I go for. I like something with a good story. Also I don't like Shia LaBeouf very much. But that's just my opinion.

  • Exactly! Physically speaking, Lou Ferigno is the only Hulk from the original t.v. series. Bill Bixby passed and is still missed very much to this day. Both actors were explosive! I need to buy the dvd collection season 1-4!

  • Hey get a new job...

    the NEW Hulk is the best movie i'v seen in a long time. 5/5 *****

    As for Iron Man he's a show-off. 2/5 **

  • Better than Iron man? Not even close. Better than spiderman 3 and Transformers? YES.

  • hey disney you have no sense of taste...

    i hated the first hulk movie but this one was really good, surpassed my expectations...

  • this guy is dumb fuckin HULK is BOSS I give it 5/5 STARS. I also give IRON MAN 5/5 STARS.

    This guy should get a new job.

  • wooo this guy dont know shit... beter than iron man YEEEEESSS

  • first off spidey 3 got more than three stars in my book and second off i dont like the hulk because its not inventive. It was a ripoff of the classic Dr. Jackle/ Mr. Hide

  • so the spiderman 3 story wasnt anything like Dr. Jackle/ Mr. Hide with all the black suit stuff?

  • Iron man will be in it wolverine shouldent.

    But what i like is there ganna get all the same actors who played the heros in other movies.
