The Incredible Hulk [DVD]

Great movie good price didn’t like the 2003 version of hulk though

got it in good condition and enjoyed the film

I must admit that after seeing the 2003 Hulk movie I decided to avoid this like the plague... I later found out I was very wrong to do so after watching the DVD at a friend's house. It left me wishing I had seen it on the big screen so the only thing left to do was unleash the power of Blu-Ray. This looks great in Hi-Def, the effects are stunning the plot is very good and the new cast are outstanding - all praise to Edward Norton for this turn around performance as Bruce Banner. In fact this film does a great job across the board and has been made in a way that makes the first installment completely redundant (so just skip it and come to this one).Be you a comic book fan like myself or just a lover of good action/sci-fi this will do the job. It is the first example of Marvel taking control of their movie franchises after much fan dissatisfaction from the Spiderman and X-men trilogies, the completely overlooked DareDevil and the terrible Elektra movie and takes it's place with the new breed of Marvel controlled releases like Iron Man.***SPOILER ALERT*** Don't read any further if you don't want to have some of the surprises unveiled... This plot follows Bruce Banner as he tries to keep a low profile whilst desperately attempting to control his condition and ultimately find a cure. Nice tips of the hat to Captain America's origin - the Super Soldier program. Also a very interesting little cameo at the very end from none other than Tony Stark!Tim Roth plays a good part as British Special Forces operative Emile Blonsky, Liv Tyler adds heartache as Banners would be love Betty and Norton has Banner down to a T.I watched this film with very low expectations and was very surprised but many viewings later still enjoy this movie very much. In my opinion there is nothing to dislike about it - very entertaining, exciting and well executed. I especially recommend it to fans of the Iron Man movies but think most people who like action/adventure would enjoy it.

Brought as part of my marvel blu ray collection. No issues, played well

Being released at virtually the same time as Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk fell well into its shadow. The proof is in the pudding as they say, as whilst Marvel have brought the Hulk back to the big screen (in the Avengers for example), as of writing this there have not been any more Hulk movies and nor is there any talk of doing so. Compared to Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk seems too talkative and drama orientated. That's not to say its a poor movie, it just lacks the fun, action packed, comic book style of many other movies in the MCU and perhaps takes itself a little too seriously. Marvel however, were certainly weighing up what worked and what didn't in the first couple of years and have since created a treasure trove of brilliant entertaining movies. It is certainly better than the 2003 version, so give it a go and make your own judgement.

Used, condition as described. Excellent image and sound, and discounted price, from our regular third party, momox uk- via Germany. Solo outing for Mr. Ed Norton, as the production record shows he made unwanted changes to parts of the script, causing unsettlement, at the time; and, later, tried to claim a credit for his scripting. He lost his case, and Marvel stated that they believed his collaboration was made "in bad faith". Nonetheless, they said he did do a great job, and thanked him for his work...then recast the part! (I have always worried about Mr. Norton, since he ended his relationship with actress Salma Hayek, instead of marrying her.) Recommended... the film, and seller, that is.

I didnt see this movie when it was released, just never got round to it. But, being a movie buff and a Hulk fan from the late 1970s, I decided to purchase this anyway, especially on Blu Ray.Now, what I liked about this version, which is far superior to the original Ang Lee version from about 5 years ago, is that the action scenes are quite simply awesome!!! Moreover, the storyline is much better and flows to a great all action end sequence between the Hulk and the Abomination, sequences which have to be seen to be believed! And being on Blu Ray, the picture detail is quite simply out of this world!!The story centres around Bruce Banner(Ed Norton) who has hidden himself away in the Brazilian jungle to avoid the american military led by a general (William Hurt)who wants to use the Hulk as a weapon. Bruce desperatly wants to find a way to contain and control the terrible rages which causes him to change into the Hulk. He also wants to be reconciled with the love of his life, (Liv Tyler) who has been trying to find a cure, but without success.There isnt a great deal more to say about the plot, so all it needs to be said is that the action sequences are some of the best ever seen in a movie. Movie buffs and action fans are in for a treat, and if you have a Surround Sound Home Cinema set up capable of delivering 5:1 Audio and upwards, then it makes this purchase even better.I noticed some reviewers have complained about problems with the disc. This is because of the very high resolution which the blu ray disc generates. Therefore you need to update the firmware/software on the machine. I have recently purchased the Sony BD 350 which is a great player and can be bought for less than £200 and contains updated firmware which allows new discs to be played without any glitches.

Great film
