Just finished watching it on Blu-ray and this is easily one of the best reference discs of all time. The mix was incredible...I felt like I was in a sound sex sandwich. :D

    Seen this a few times, not at all a bad movie, I think IronMan is better overall. What I did catch was the ending, which indicates that another good movie is on the horizon. I'll go ahead and order this one anyway.

    I spun the Blu of this tonight, very good indeed, as good as Iron Man, no. It lacked the "cool" factor that Iron Man had. But, this is a very good film, as good as Lee's film, no. I still like his film better. Lee's film had better acting, better story telling and overall a better Hulk.

    This does have one of the most amazing DTS-MA tracks I've ever heard. The channel separation is excellent while creating a very immersive sound field. Amazing! The image quality is also very good but after demoing "For Your Eyes Only" for my wife before the film, it falls short of being "that good".

    All-n-all a very well done film and one worthy to add to the Blu collection.

    Oh, and that ending, I had the biggest smile after seeing that. Yet another sign that Iron Man owns the comic book movie genre.

    And somehow, Ed Norton doesn't fit the part of Bruce Banner that well in my humble opinion.
    Agreed, I thought Eric Bana was a much better fit for the role. Norton is a fantastic actor but didn't really fit as well as I'd hoped he would.

    Im waiting for this one to come down off its $20 price tags or SD. I figure itll be available for $10 at my local Movie Gallery in the previously viewed section which is where buy all my movies.

    I saw this in the theater and thought it was excellent. I agree with everyone that it wasnt as good as Iron Man but it was still top notch especially for us comic book geeks.

    Now thats pretty damn cool about that Captain America bit in the deleted scenes. I figured that was what all that "super soldier" stuff was they were talking about in the movie.

    Watched this last night. Unfortunately don't have a BluRay player but the standard disk was decent.

    Thought the movie was pretty good. I mean, assuming you go into it knowing it's a movie about a man who turns into a giant green monster when he gets angry... it was good.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    Finally saw this tonight. I thought audio and video quality on blu seriously outclassed IronMan. I actually enjoyed the movie quite a bit too.... I liked the Tony Stark cameo, and can't wait to see what happens in the future!

    Overall, I enjoyed this movie more than IronMan. I haven't seen Hulk yet, interested to see another take on this film.

    Not to mention floor covering, additional sound deadening in the room, couch or theater chair in use and room or track temp. (might also want to mention any popcorn smells wafting though the air for that final bit of ambiance....)
