ehhh. I dunno. I can never get my mind around all these new comic/cartoon/superhero type movies these days. But then again it is Ed Norton. I will probably let it float around on the bottom of my queue until it pops up on its own. I usually like anything with Norton in it. Even the 25th Hour which got bad reviews. It had Rosario Dawson in it too which was a big plus for me.

I am so behind on my Hollywood blockbusters that I haven't even seen the first Hulk movie yet.

I like Norton a lot, so I will probably see this. I also like the whole premise of the Hulk mythology (although I never read it too much in my comic book reading youth).

Well, you know I love Eric Bana and was a little shocked and surprised that they would have Edward in this, however he never disappoints and I think he will be good in this one.

My husband liked the Ang Lee adaptation of "The Hulk" - I know of only one other person who concurs with him - and I haven't seen it. I was, however, a big fan of "The Hulk" TV series. I was young, so sue me. I like Edward Norton. He's intelligent and he has had a hand in the script. I think he's going to improve on it. I'll be there the opening day. Yeah, Edward Norton.

You probably aren't far off with that, lol. It seems like all the big actors are taking on a hero persona, they go through phases like this. Disaster movies, war movies, now the super dudes.

I didn't care for the last Hulk movie, it really didn't fit with what I remembered of the show/ or i didn't like it as much as I thought. If anyone can pull the Hulk off, it's probably going to be Norton. It's just not something I would have pictured.

I agree. I like Norton because, unlike a lot of Hollywood ninnies, he's intelligent. He speaks fluent Chinese/Mandarin for goodness sake. I think he'll bring something interesting to Hulk, which isn't my favorite superhero but there you go. I thought Downey Jr. rocked Iron Man. The biggest surprise EVER.

I haven't seen Norton in any I didn't like so why not. And remember no one thought Michael Keaton could play Batman.

Norton is not playing The Hulk, he is playing Bruce Banner.

Indeed. He is playing Bruce Banner before he turns into a CGI Hulk. We stand corrected. THank you.
