to a PG-13 movie rated that way primarily because of violence. Riiight...

It wasn't that bad! The ending could have been better, but the effects where pretty cool.

i was actually pleasantly surprised by it. it's on my list of top comic book to movie transitions.
but yes...i can see where the HULK in the movie would scare the crap out of a young child. i was pretty surprised at how many really young children were in the theatre the two time i went to see it. i think the movie got the PG-13 rating because the HULK never actually kills anyone and there is pretty much no blood in the movie. the language is not vulgar at all either, not that it needs to be.

i also take into consideration that The HULK was never at most times a strong comic book. it was more of a comic that Marvel kept running because i think it felt obliged to. there are only a couple of HULK storylines that i really enjoyed.
i think Ang Lee did a good job.

The Scene he got scared was the dog part, and it wasn't like he started crying and screaming. He just got out of his seat and sat down on my lap. No big deal. Heck after that he kinda wanted to stay. I think he was getting bored with it also. I know the first hour he was nore entertained with watching where the movie was being projected out from then the movie. Alot of big name stars for a big let down movie.

I enjoyed the movie. Certainly some rough spots, and if you wanted a straight action movie you will be disapointed. But if you can accept a little differnt take on a comic book action movie you're enjoy it.
And its the first time I've seen a Comanche in a movie, woohoo!

Ang Lee failed fantastically on this one. The special effects were cool, but the story and the direction sucked beyond description. If you really want to see it, wait until it's on HBO.
And no, I never read the comic.

if you where never a fan of the hulk i could definatly see how you could not enjoy the movie.
as far as the story line.....it was as good as any comic books story line.
I personaly liked it. A little slow at times, ran a little to long, but i got everything i wanted out of the movie.

I saw it, and thought it was very good. I liked the whole comic book filming and the credits were VERY original
The special effects are brilliant and the movie was fun to watch, I liked the story as well. Ending could have been better but It leaves for a sequel so I dont mind. Good movie.....infact all the Marvel movies EXCEPT Daredevil have been great

I was bored.
I thought the Nick Nolte character was stilted and artificial; the Sam Elliot character was too much of a caricature even by comic book standards; and because of this Jennifer Connelly's performance, though good, was out of step. The dialogues were too long-winded and dull.
I liked the ending scene but not what became of Nick Nolte--that whole part seemed just silly.
Overall, a real disappointment.

I saw the Hulk the other day (not my idea!) and I have to agree with you guys, I wasn't too impressed at all. It was so looooooooong and sloooooow, it should have been about an hour shorter!
Plus the CGI was very, very poor compared it's contemparies (Gollum for instance).
I enjoyed T3 though

my son liked it, but i wasn't too impressed. the effects were good, but it needs more than effects to be a good movie. now spiderman!!! .... that was a good comic book movie.
i feel they could have done more with the hulk.
