    Do we still need spoiler tags here? I'll do this one. It's kinda safe to read though.

    I did it because the database reports I pull use the title you give the thread and since we have established a format, I would like to stick with it. But whatever.

    Despite the rave reviews and positive reaction from trustworthy individuals, I just can't be bothered with this. It seems I'm broken.

    I might catch it in its last few days at my local arthouse theater. Gotta support indie cinema.

    I hear that if Giorgi Shengelaya were to have made a superhero film, this is the film he would have made.

    More than likely I'm seeing The Avengers this on Thursday. I figured that I would end up viewing it before I ever saw The Cabin In The Woods. Yet I really sort of viewed both movies as potential rentals instead.

    This was fun! Hulk was my favorite of the heroes. I think Mark Ruffalo deserves his own spin-off Hulk movie. He did a good job with the character I thought.

    You shouldn't've spent all your ticket money on those Avengers limited edition collectible soda cans.

    Ruffalo was fine, but it was really his alter ego that stole the show so on account of that, I can't say that Ruffalo deserves his own spin-off Hulk movie because of Ruffalo.

    Ruffalo did full face and body motion-capture. He played the Hulk too.
    Quote Quoting Donald Glover
    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    That makes his performance even better for me.

    Hulk had all the best moments in the movie. He was really funny. I enjoyed the interactions between Tony Stark and Bruce Banner as well. Wouldn't mind seeing more of that.

    I expected this answer, but it's not as clear cut for me as Serkis and Gollum. Hulk gets angry period. I can't say I detected nuance while he was angry, but perhaps these are things picked up on a second viewing.

    I'm taking my son to see this on Sunday. I'm going to rent Thor, Iron Man 1 & 2, and Hulk for him in the days leading up. I might watch Thor and Hulk with him. I've already seen the first Iron Man, and have no desire to see the second.

    Me and a group of friends (including TGM) watched the 9 hour cut yesterday. The most important thing I took from it was that it seriously highlighted just how bad Iron Man 2 was. Seeing it by itself, I didn't really understand the hate. Seeing it in context, oh my GOD was it bad. So bad.

    Oh..and I'm going to see The Avengers at the midnight release

    I don't like that I have to post in this thread just because a bunch of people get to see it before it's US wide opening on Friday.

    Sorry, it is inconvenient that we don't dedicate everything to the great and powerful USA, but it seemed reasonable enough that since it was just a few days before many would start seeing and commenting and others had already seen it to go ahead and switch everything to this thread.

    I'm just being a whiner Raiders. It's not a big deal. I just hoped I didn't read a glimpse of anything spoilerish but it was my own risk in coming in. As you can tell, i'm stoked.
