I agree that the movie would’ve been better if Abomination was killed, but it was a better comic book movie the way it was. Abomination is one of the only two villains in the Hulk’s universe. #2 is coming in the second movie.

I think this movie is just-shy of a perfect Hulk film. I would’ve liked to see Hulk versus a bear or something, just another action scene.

Just a little tidbit of information, WARNING! THIS INFORMATION COULD COMPROMISE YOUR FEELINGS ABOUT THE “Almost love scene”(That scene when Banner was getting “too excited); When Zak Penn was 13 years old, he wrote an Incredible Hulk script. That scene was from his 13 year old script. I think that’s phenominal. If there are any young writers out there, that’s a little inspiration.

I think aside from the wanting of one more action scene, and a little dragging, I would have to give it a 7 out of 10.

This movie is great. I would give it a 7 out of 10. As for your opinion on Betty Ross’s character. I couldn’t disagree more. She was the character that brought out the Hulks humanity. And as for the end fight scene, (spoiler) I said to myself (before Betty did) that Hulk can’t kill Abomination. So I’m glad that she stepped forward and stopped him. The film was about Hulk becoming a good guy and for Bruce Banner to gain some level of control over the Hulk. For Hulk to kill Abomination, represented a step back for his character. Also, 1 thing that I hated with the film was there constant reminders of how many day Bruce Banner went with out incident. I’m suprised that you guys never brought it up on the podcast.

That being said, I understand how you feel about the movie, I just disagree with a few of your points.

Seriously John, I kept looking at every non-descript soldier looking for the mighty John Campea, which scene were you in?

This HULK I liked it and rate is 7/10. It does many things right including the pacing, direction, action, and story which importantly is projected to the direction of the eventual Avenger series.

I don’t know maybe it’s just me, but I have always hated when they kill off villains in comic movies. That was my main complaint with the first Batman movie. You don’t kill the Joker!!! I like the fact that they left the Abomination alive, it means that we may see him in future movies. He and the Leader are the Hulk’s two main adversaries. The Hulk without the Abomination or Leader is like the Xmen without Magneto.

Hey John, I totally forgot…is your cameo still in here? And if it’s not, which scene was it supposed to be in? The college asault?

I actually liked Hulk better than Iron Man. Main reason: I ended up caring more about what happened to Bruce Banner than I did Tony Stark. Really got a sense of the loneliness that this guy deals with. Yeah, the ending was kind of cheezy, but I agree with Steven Carroll – Hulk’s not a murderer. Plus, I want to see more of Abomination! The action sequences were all very good, and I can’t wait to see what they can do with a bigger budget.

I been thinking.

Afterthought…

First, the trailer shows Banner w/Doc Samson and a brief shot of Banner in the Artic somewhere. I think it is safe to say that these are some deleted scenes.

Second, maybe there IS an extended fight w/Abomination and Hulk. I’m thinking…maybe Betty says stop, Hulk stops. Turns his back on Blonsky…Blonsky gets up and forces Hulk to kill him in self defense or makes a mistake and kills himself.

Or…

Tony Stark’s Iron Man finishes up the mess and we didn’t see it ha ha ha
