I guess I am in the minority when I say that Edward Norton is a GREAT actor. Have you all seen some of his movies like Fight Club, American History X, Primal Fear, Rounders, 25th hour, etc.? It's not a surprise to me that Hulk is getting great reviews.

Almost...
 

There s a scene from THE COURTSHIP OF EDDIE'S FATHER. It's a short clip, but not so short that you will easily miss it. Boxofficemojo.com says that audiences gave THE INCREDIBLE HULK a B+. The Ang Lee film only got a C rating from the audience; A 54 million gross for the weekend is very good This film will have legs. The Marvel brand is sound. However, I think BATMAN BEGINS: THE DARKNIGHT will be the top comicbook film of the summer.

The fact that Edward Norton is in this movie is the driving force behind my desire to see it. I agree, he is a great actor.

For the record:

OK - so i saw Incredible Hulk today and I'd say i agree with most of the reviewers. Its better than the Ang Lee version - but not great (no where near as good as Iron Man or Spiderman). I liked some of the little fanboy flairs (I'll avoid the spoilers but there are some great ones and the now famous iron man cameo is priceless).

The main problem is the writing - and since ed norton apparently took over the script I blame him. Many of the lines aren't just clunky but they just clang out of the actors. I think part of this problem is trying to make the focus on the tragic Bruce Banner character. This could work but doesn't here and most of us just wanted to see HULK SMASH.

The other problem is the c.g. Hulk - he just looks like a cartoon character and I think the problem is not just in the technology but in the way Hulk is shown on-screen. He just looks odd.

But, all that said, i did enjoy the film (Tim Roth was great and the action scenes were pretty cool). And i'm really looking forward to the Avengers build-up (although I'll be honest that I really can't see a THOR movie - I just can't see it not looking silly - but who knows).

I also saw it and enjoyed it. Much better then the Ang Lee version but I did like that one as well. I would rank it the same as IronMan, maybe even a little better.

I was quite impressed. Edward Norton was a great choice for Bruce Banner and Tim Roth put a great slant on the Abomination. Thoughtful and exciting.

still not a fan of ed norton - but i did like Tim Roth (although, c'mon people - surely some of those inane lines of dialogue clanged in your ears as well)

what i thought was really cool about Roth is that i just watched the remake of Funny Games, in which he was so ineffectual and weak and it actually took me a bit to realize it was the same actor - great performance

The Second version of the Incredible Hulk has to better than the first!! The first movie, in my opinion was boring as hell. I even saw the first one in the theaters- What a waste of time. I kept watching thinking to myself, it's gonna get better, it never did!! Agree with me or not, thats just the way I feel. The second movie has no where to go but up from the first Crappy Hulk Movie!! I just hope it's as good as the trailer makes it out to be! I'm waiting for video, so I won't be disappointed!! For those of you who paid to see the second one in theaters, I truly hope it was worth it!! Happy Slashing All !!
