No spoiler.
Quite enjoyable. If I had a popcorn emoticon, I'd stick it right here.
I'm not a Hulk fan but this version is much better than Eric Bana's 2003 Hulk (yuck). Norton does a good job. Tons of CGI but there's no other way around it unless you want to go find another Mr. Olympia and paint him green. Lots of guest appearances. No, you do not have to stick around after the credits for additional footage like Ironman. This time around they stuck it before the credits.
Quite entertaining.

Haven't seen it yet, but this will be one to view at the theater for the first time.
We're already arguing around here over who would win in a "Hulk vs The Thing" fight. Maybe this movie will help settle that argument.Sal Palooza -
Ang Lee's Hulk wasn't horrifically awful... It just didn't hit the notes that Hulk fans were expecting. Lee attempted to make an art film out of something that should have rightfully been straight action with some drama. The result was a disjointed mess.
Fortunately, The Transporter 2's Louis Leterrier gives us a reboot of the character that does the trick. While not quite at the bar set by Iron Man, this is a fun thrill ride that definitely hits the buttons that comic fans wanted pushed in the last one. You get trademark Hulk moves like the cars-as-boxing-gloves and the thunderclap... and the two times in the movie that Hulk speaks are well done (with the second time bringing a big-**** smile to my face). The dramatic moments aren't quite as good as they could have been... but it's forgiveable, because Leterrier definitely knows how to shoot an action scene.
I'm very impressed with how Marvel is maintaining a continuity in these films. Much like the after-credits scene in Iron Man, you get a bit at the end (fortunately BEFORE the credits this time) that leads directly to The Avengers. You also get quick references to S.H.I.E.L.D. that make this movie completely feel like it exists in the same world that Iron Man did.
Bottom line: If you're a comic book or action movie fan, you'll probably enjoy the ride. If this December's PUNISHER: WAR ZONE is the same quality as Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk, Marvel Films will have confirmed that comics can consistently be handled in a respectful way that even non-fans can enjoy.Equipment list:

I saw this last night! all i can say is......WOW!:D0
This movie was soooooo good! It was good to see that someone can actually make a good Hulk movie! I would still say that i liked iron man more, but this was definately up there in my favorite comicbook movies list! Definately worth the money to see it! -
+1
Awesome movie, much better than the 1st one. -
Got to see this over the weekend in a crappy theater but it still kicked major ****! I definitely recommend going to see this. If you like action movies at all you owe it to yourself.
They made this one as if the last one never happened - which is a good thing.
The action was outstanding, the CGI was top notch, the acting was very good and the story was very solid with plenty of throwback references to the comics.
I give it a solid 8.5 out of 10.polkaudio sound quality competitor since 2005

I saw this tonight (with a new friend- Yay for me!
) and I liked it. I love Ed Norton and he was very good. My only complaint is that the special effects were not very believable or consistent. A big suspension of disbelief there but other than that I liked it a lot. Sharp Elite 70
