I haven't watched it yet though, as I've also got Bruce Almighty,which needs watched.

My dad got them while in Thailand, however they are in English, and not jumpy, as I've tested both.

The question to now ponder, is, how can I have Hulk on DVD when it hasn't even premiered yet?

:D

I haven't actually watchwed it yet, but I think Matt Groenings attempt at turning Homer into the Hulk was brilliant.

I'll watch it sometime, but, there's mre important things on my mind right now, like sleeping.

Between Yun-Fat and Michelle Yeough.
The fact they could never acknowledge their feelings and love for each other, as stated repeatedly by the old dude "You are both adults, just tell each other"

Or the love between the girl and the bandit guy. Her stubborn refusal to submit until she was injured etc, his midnight visits and whispered entreaties of passion.

Christ..did you even watch it?

So you didn't at all notice the stupour of the characters before Banner changed? As the movie went on, as he became more and more Hulk, she responded more and more to him.

It's called a "metaphor" - Banner had repressed emotions (a fav them of Lee) and she responded in like, a stilted, stumbling relationship full of surface level reactions and no depth.
Yet when Banner gave in to his primal nature, when he surrendered his control and embraced the furious passion of Hulk, she became more and more animated and passionate towards him.

Emotional intensity being rewarded in like. Lee demonstrating that to go through life buttoned down will result in loneliness and unhappiness, but to embrace that which makes us human means you can live a much richer existence.

I'd just like to add that after seeing the movie I thought it was one of the worst film's of it's type for ages, and that includes the original Captain America film. It's just so laughable, I ended up lauging at large parts of it, and the acting is atrocious in many places.

I must see this soon. My expectation level is low and I do prefer a more thoughful film; yet I yearn for a good action film (like Blade 2) in which I can simply goggle at the fighting and auralove the bad words they use.

I do like Bana though and he seemed a fine actor in Chopper.

You boogers have me in a quandry and I haven't even seen the trailer...

HULK SMASH!!! That's all you need.

Seriously though, I see what you're trying to say but I thought it all felt forced upon the audience so much and so repetitively that it made the whole non-smash side laughably misplaced. A 2 hour CG chowcase of destruction would have been just as much of a disappontment but at least some people would be happy with that. Perhaps Ang Lee should have taken the idea for the film but made it without any relation to The Hulk whatsoever (and I don't mean just have some random guy who happens to turn green when he's miffed!).

The Hulk himself was reasonable but overanimated, as most CG characters tend to be, although the interaction with the real world (for the aforementioned Hulk Smash moments) was convincing enough.

There were aspects of it bad enough to remind me of the second Ninja Turtles film (the one with the mutant wolf and snapping turtle) in the way it seems that if you cover something in radioactive goo you immediately mutate it and give it super powers. In the comic world it seems that toxic waste is the way forward for mankind.

If I climb into a vat of toxic waste and rub myself with moles will I develop super-human digging powers and bad eyesight? Maybe....
