Reject Nation Poll: What Did You Think of The Incredible Hulk?
Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on June 13, 2008
Happy glorious Friday to all of you out there in the world of movie watching. We here at FSR HQ are excited, happy and generally hung over — but that’s nothing new. As for you, you are all off to your jobs, working that 9-5, anxiously awaiting that moment when you will finally be able to head back out on the town and party it up like a character from “The Hills.” That is, unless you are like us and you would rather go to a movie and see a big green guy smash up the streets of New York.
That big green guy is The Incredible Hulk, and his new flick is in theaters today. And after you run out, devour your 1,200 calorie bucket of popcorn and see the damn thing, we would like to hear your thoughts in our “Sound Off” section below. As well, we have a little poll that we are running along with FirstShowing and Slashfilm, because we know how much everyone likes flashy things with numbers. Also, if you aren’t too busy with that “real job”, be sure to check out our Official Guide to The Hulk. It is everything you need to know before you see The Incredible Hulk.

I thought it was fantastic. Even better than Iron Man. As of now, it’s the film to beat this summer

It was INCREDIBLE! I enloyed the movie: great cast, plot, score, and CGI. This is, so far, the best film of the summer. -We’ll have to wait till The Dark Knight comes, and see if it takes the title. But in all, INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!

I can’t wait until the Avengers movie comes out, than I’ll be overwhelmed to see all my favorite Marvel characters in one film. And yes, The Incredible Hulk was incredible. Go see it!

I had faith in this movie from the begining but man this has excedded my expectations!
Fuck you ang lee!

didn’t like it. i loved ang lee’s version better. i prefer the idea of taking a comic hero and
making it more substantive rather than sticking to the comic verbatim. plus it was one of
the coolest visual styles of all the comic movies.

I think it definitely fixed a lot of the mistakes they made in the first movie. The fact that they dropped in some of the cast members from the old tv show and few in a few other treats for the fanboys was a good move. Plus starting in the middle of things instead of having such a drawn out opening as in the first was a much better way to go. The best thing was to just actually see the hulk in a populated environment where he is actually being a public menace a opposed to just chilling out in the woods or the desert.

Edward enjoy movie lots!! Edward enjoy fact that it SMASH stupid suicide movie to 3rd place under kung-fu bear!!! HA HA HA!!! Edward like lots!!!
Plus, it was EXTRA sweet to see my lovely city throughout a good chunk of the movie as I live in Toronto and was actually able to catch some of the nights when they shut down streets to do shooting. BTW, the “Zanzibar” that many of you may have caught in the end fight scene that had The Hulk run at the Abomination past the “Apollo Theatre” in “Harlem” is actually a adult entertainment venue well known to Torontonians. It’s on Yonge St, just north of Dundas and South of Gerrard St in the heart of Downtown Toronto, in case any of you plan to visit this summer! Enjoy! -(For the Fanboys, the “college” campus that you saw featured in the movie is actually our University of Toronto St. George Campus in case you want to do one of those comic-movie related tours to take pics and claim that you were SMASHED by HULK at the spot of the movie….*rolling my eyes*)-
PLUS-I LOVED the fact that right from the start of the movie they tied Hulk into the upcoming Avengers movie. As you saw blueprints for potential “Hulkbuster” weapons from Stark Industries, written documents on S.H.I.E.L.D. letterhead by Nick Fury, & Captain America was spoken about openly as being reactivated for duty and is doing some “good work” already by Gen. Thunderbolt Ross. Although I didn’t actually catch a glimpse of Cap as hinted at by the director who claimed that he’s actually in the movie. Plus, the fact that Iron Man makes his crossover cameo at the end of the movie and makes direct reference to The Avengers as a team he’s putting together. AWESOME!!!! HULK SMASH SOME MORE & EDWARD LOVE!!!!

PLUS-the fact that they showed us The Leader’s creation….those who have no idea who The Leader is-go to marvel.com or wiki him & then watch the movie again for the lab scene when the Abomination gets named and enters his final evolution! That was an unexpected bonus which clearly indicates that they’re setting up for a sequel that would most likely feature The Leader as the main antagonist in it….stay tuned true believers!!!….
