Your Opinions and Comments

10 / 10
Movie - Another great comic to film conversion from Marvel. I loved this movie i though it was done really well, and the Hulk is massive (like he should be) Some people were a little dissapointed with this movie but i enjoyed it.

Picture - Like most new movies now the picture is pretty much as you would expect, perfect. Shot in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen.

Sound - Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS, both sound fantastic when the action kicks in.

Extras - Same as the 2 disk version but you get a third disk with a 45 min documentary on it, A reprint of the 1st ever Hulk Comic (very cool) , The "You're Making Me Angry" scene from the movie, drawn by illustrators from around the world in Japanese Anime/Manga Style, Euro Style and Marvel Comics style, and a few other illustrated bits.

Overall - Top quality movie with top quality extras in a top quality Box-set, a must get for all Hulk fans.

Would go in my top my top 10 worst films ever ,story line is absolutely terrible, and come on.. the absorbing man as got to be the worst "baddie" character ever ... the dvd is also very "grainy" in some parts of the film saying its such a new print , the hulk does just remind me of the comic book hulk, though hes just not in it enough... if you want to watch a good comic book to film dvd watch spiderman or x-men 1 or 2 ... avoid this drivel like the plague
