Fears about The Incredible Hulk

I'm right.

And just FYI Spider-man 2 was nominated for more awards then Batman Begins and won more awards then Batman Begins. It was a superior movie in virtualy every way.

i will be good because of the hype

Just because a movie wins awards doesn't mean it's better. If my shit wins more awards than a tomato, does that make it better? No, it doesn't.

It made more money. Won and was nominated for more awards. Film critics thought it was better.

... so what exactly is the criteria for being a better movie?

The first Hulk sucked and when I heard about this new one, I thought "oh great, a sequel to kill this marvel legend further" but when I found out it's actually a new beginning of the Hulk, I just felt thrilled. This movie is gonna kick more ass than Spider-man 3 and X-men 1-3 combined.

everyone i know thought this was a sequal! the trailer looks great and this movie looks amazing but will anyone be able to see past the crapfest that was hulk?

i hope this movie is huge but is it to soon after lee's attempt to be a success?

A lot of people are hyped to see this movie so I can see it being pretty well received and being a blowout at the box office.

The film critics had the same opinion about both Batman Begins & Spider Man 2 - highly favourable; some even saying each could claim to be the best comic book movie ever. Roger Ebert felt that way, and he was lukewarm on the first Spider Man, and didn't even like a single Batman film prior to Begins. Both films made his top ten of the year, I believe.
Both films were coming from different places, though. Batman Begins was the fifth film, and had the erase the stench of Batman & Robin eight years earlier (the series started to go wrong halfway through the first four films.) He spent some time away while the producers sought the best way to reinvent the character & concept. While Spider Man 2 was only the 2nd film - coming off such monster success that surprised even Marvel - and had the opportunity to get deeper into things after all the origin story of the first. Expectations for the two films were different. BB was about rebuilding, while SM2 was keeping the status quo.

By Spider Man 3, that overstuffed feeling of the later Batman films could be seen, though.

All the top film critics disagree with you...

Spider-man is a great superhero move that can be enjoyed by both the young and the old, it has action, humour, great character development and a huge amount of rewatchability (Batman Begin's biggest flaw). Both Spider-man and Spider-man 2 are better then Batman Begins.

X-2 is as well.

I watch Batman Begins once a week...The entire Spiderman trilogy and X-2 are among the best comic book movies ever made, but still a step behind Iron Man and Batman Begins, IMO.

The Incredible Hulk, 6/10

Right now I'd give The Incredible Hulk 5/10. Only because I'm skeptical and just wanna see Tony Stark. I do hope my opinion changes after I see the film.

Gotta say, I about poo'd myself when IM shows up in the trailer. If anyone saw the easter egg at the end of the IM credits, I think they might be starting to try and set that up.

Which trailer does Tony Stark appear in?

My expectations for TIH are incredibly high and I think the movie will be awesome.

The newest Hulk trailer has Stark in the beginning talking to who I can only assume is General Ross.

*Stark walks into a bar*
Stark: "I hear you have an interesting problem."
Ross: "Heh. You're one to talk."
*Stark smiles*

*cut to Hulk footage*

The only thing I can think of would be that Ross wants Stark to build some sort of weapon in order to stop the Hulk.

Its got 3/5 stars from EMPIRE

Verdict
More action, less poncing, than that last Hulk movie ensures a stronger response

How can you even rate, if you didn't see the film. 🙂

There was action, but not so much as I expected. And I wasn't blown away by any action sequence.
And I was disappointed by the end fight,

As long as this movie is more well received than Ang Lee's movie, I'm happy.

So far, the early reviews are good. It may be less ambitious than Ang Lee's version, but much more rounded and less arty. In short, it's more what fans of the Hulk want to see - that's the word of mouth.
