I took it as a sequel to the first movie. It seemed to fit, on the run for five years etc. That said, imho it fits as a sequel to either.Originally Posted by Legerd

Driftwood: Well, I got about a foot and a half. Now, it says, uh, "The party of the second part shall be known in this contract as the party of the second part."
Fiorello: Well, I don't know about that...
Driftwood: Now what's the matter?
Fiorello: I no like-a the second party, either.
Driftwood: Well, you should've come to the first party. We didn't get home 'til around four in the morning... I was blind for three days!
According to the creators, Incredible Hulk is supposed to be an unofficial sequel, but with it's own storyline. IE: all the crud about Bruce's father wouldn't be talked about (which, IMO, was the major contributor to the mess that was Ang Lee's "Hulk"). They also wanted to try to tie in flavours of the original Incredible Hulk television series (supposedly, Lou Ferrigno makes a cameo in the movie, but not having seen it, I can't corroborate that).
I DID, however, see Prince Caspian last week. Well worth the money, IMO, a great companion piece to Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe, and a rarity in that I find the sequel better than the original (which is saying something, because I LOVE LW&W)

Saw Hulk today and really liked it. Lots of little things thrown in for fans of the comics or the old TV show and yes Ferrigno not only has a cameo but also voices the Hulk.Originally Posted by HappyCanuck

Gonna see Hulk today. Got delayed with work this weekend. Saw the Strangers. It did little else but reaffirm my opnion that Liv Tyler is indeed still hot. It claims to be based on a true story. I did a little research on it and that could not be farther from the truth. The closest thing I could find was that there was a similar murder in the same town in the 1960s. Not the year 2005 as they claimed in the movie. All in all its what I expected. Kinda scary, violent, and mildly creepy. But at least Liv Tyler is still hot. I give it one of those is for Liv. I tried not to read anyones Hulk reviews yet trying to be as surprised as possible. Hopefully Ill go see it later today.

Venom: I want to bite their heads off and shove my tongue down their neck holes.
Songbird: Why?
Venom: So I can lick out their hearts.
Lou Ferrigno's cameo got a huge reaction from the audience.
Yes, they went for the old TV series, including, at one point, the music.
I thought the old TV series had a lot going for it; at least, the few bits of it I've seen recently were well-written. They incorporated that.
I've now seen Iron Man twice, and still haven't seen Captain America's shield. It's supposed to be in the 'this isn't the worst thing you've caught me doing' scene.

Finally got to see The Incredible Hulk. I liked it alot. Marvel Studios is off to an outstanding start with Iron Man and Hulk being as good as they where. Tim Roth never disappoints and Ed Norton was an excellent Bruce Banner. Lots of little Easter Eggs in this one to. Over all I give it . The best part IMHO was the inevitable Hulk vs. Abomination throwdown. WOW thats what a super hero/villian fight is supposed to look like.

Saw Iron Man again and finally saw the Roxxon Building.
Also saw The Love Guru which was pretty average at best and saw Get Smart which was good but nothing to write home about.

I'm in the "thumbs down on Indy" camp. It also felt to me like a bad action film, not an Indy film.
I wanted to like it.

Just saw Batman. WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW!!!!! They nailed it. I was blown away. If you think I was happy about that. Prior to the movie they debuted the Watchmen trailer. Words dont describe how excited I am about that project. The trailer is up now on Watchmenmovie.com

I'm looking forward to The Dark Knight, I think mainly cos of the hype over Ledgers Joker. Not sure how much truth there is behind 'Posthumous Oscar', but ... I'm also going to see 'Mist' cos of my wifes love of all things Stephen King. My problem with King movies is that it seems for every good one, there's ten dodgy ones. The other film I'm looking forward to seeing is 'Adulthood', the follow up to 'Kidulthood'. It's written and produced by Noel Clarke and I think he's a name that's gonna be around for a long time.

Driftwood: Well, I got about a foot and a half. Now, it says, uh, "The party of the second part shall be known in this contract as the party of the second part."
Fiorello: Well, I don't know about that...
Driftwood: Now what's the matter?
Fiorello: I no like-a the second party, either.
Driftwood: Well, you should've come to the first party. We didn't get home 'til around four in the morning... I was blind for three days!
The Mist was okay, in fact the ending was better than the one in the short story IMO. Am hopefully going to see Batman tomorrow if my buddy can get the tickets today. Loved both Hulk and Iron Man, but still say Ang Lee's Hulk was better for animation than this one. Except for the eyes, I liked how there was an almost metallic green glint to Hulk's eyes.
i might go see dark knight today, anything after the credits, easter eggs i should be aware of?
And the watchmen, LOL , for some reason when i saw the trailer i couldnt stop laughing, i laughed so much, my bro was like troy what are you watching?
i mean what is ice man doing in the watchmen? psshh x-men are not gonna like that one.
are the watchmen a comic book or a book?

'Watchmen' is a twelve part comic from Alan Moore. It was probably the first comic to remove the fantasy element from the super hero story and replace it with gritty realism. It's touted by many as the best story ever written and some even claim it can cure achne (I made that bit up . Or did I ?).
With all that in mind, I'd still rather see 'The Dark Knight'.
For your perusal.

heres a comic that replaces the fantasy element delbubs, the punisher. ( even though i doubt someone survive that many gun shots, but hey look at 50-cent).
but where is this real? i saw something about a massive time machine thingy at the end of the trailer, and someguy was being shocked by lighting.
And are you trying to say that i have achne, delbubs?
