Me too. Didn't see it until earlier this year, and after all the negative public reaction, was expecting a lot less. Except for the ending, I liked it quite a bit and thought all concerned did a great job. Except for the ending.

I sorta like the first one but it bombed so bad at the box office that I bet that is the part that is causing them not to make another sequel.Comment

I didn't see it, but wouldn't mind watching it. I haven't seen it for sale on DVD myself.

Actually, the Hulk didn't bomb at all in terms of box office figures but rather in terms of expectations. The Hulk cost $135 million to make and raked in $245 million worldwide. Nice little profit if it wasn't a super hero movie. The Hulk was a bomb in comparison to other super hero movies such as X-men and Spiderman which raked in $300 million (cost $75 million to make) and $821 million (cost $139 million to make) respectively.
Incidently, X2 made $406.5 million (cost $110 million to make), besting X-men considerably. Spiderman 2 is on a roll with $416 million already in the bank but cost a whopping $200 million to make.

Actually, $245 million gross would not be a profit on a film that cost $135 million to produce but, I'm sure that the rentals have made it a profitable film by now.Comment

Bob, out of curiousity, could you go into more detail on that? What extra costs are there other than distribution? Inquiring minds. . . ..

Publicity, publicity, oh, and publicity.

The marketing and promotions costs for the Hulk were $35 million, so it still made a decent profit at the end of the day.Comment

I just came back from watching this movie. I'm really psyched right now! This movie was awesome! DEFINITELY 100% better than the last one they made. I want to be careful on some of the things I say so that I don't spoil it.
What I liked about it most is how intricate the "comic... -
Looky, looky! Just brought up the TIVO and guess what was flashing at me? A preview of the upcoming movie The Hulk. I like Eric Bana A LOT - he was one of the nice surprises in Black Hawk Down. He plays Bruce Banner who, under stress, becomes the Hulk after a gamma ray radiation accident.... -
Watched this just before Christmas. I really am not into comic book heroes on the big screen, with a few exceptions like the first Batman, Superman and Blade. But the Hulk was well done in a very intelligent way. Good story, direction and acting from all concerned. But for those of you who haven't seen... -
I watched this BD last night. This is my second BD, and I must say, I still am impressed with the audio of these disks. You can hear so much detail. The video was very impressive during the forrest scenes. Overall, great BD disk. I didn't care for the extras though. I was hoping to see some sneak...

As you may recall, I posted a couple of weeks ago reporting
serious problems with my 1098 (thumping, glitching, EM sensitivity
to heaters and refrigerators turning on).
The dealer gave me his demo unit, which exhibited none of these problems (except for some residual clicks...
