It appears that some smart alec at Universal has leaked The Hulk onto the net two weeks before it's even released in AMERICA. Quite amazed to be honest, downloading the 800MB VCD (great quality) off of BT now :)

*Waits for someone to tell him that Universal didn't make the film* :D

Yeah Phone Booth is good. The ending was also pretty good, leaves open another sequel.

Hulk was quite slow in getting going. But was quite good in the end.

Phone Booth. I thought it was the best drama film I've ever seen, but then I'd been wanting to see it for 6 months before it came out. And the ending ruled. And I enjoyed Hulk also, but I think the fact that the Hulk doesn't really appear near the start at all is disappointing and it's more after the hour mark where he makes his first appearance.

Ah, my mistake, BitTorrent named it as an Mpg, but it's actually a DivX.

Which? Phone Booth or Hulk? Phone Booth is pretty good I think, not amazing but good. Hulk was also pretty good. Will have to see it again to make up my mind about it. Thought it was quite slow at the start but it did have some good Hulk bits.

Weird that its only 900mb when it should be 1.3Gb. Do you have the AVI or MPG. If AVI then I can understand it being 900mb but MPGs are based on time and not compression so it should be 1.3Gb no matter what.

Yeah, good stuff. I can accept it's not a proper version and I go see all the films at the cinema anyway...

Gah, I shouldn't've rounded, it's actually about 900MB and I have checked it - it's the full film. I've seen it for christ's sake :D
