Even when the "hulk" was in total control he still did the "right" thing. also in all his rampaging he never killed a innocent *(was mentioned in a comic) person.

long as they don't bring out the grey hulk. i didn't like him heh

The grey Hulk the best one ever. Witty one liners, not as strong as green Hulk, weakened by sunlight, and smaller so he could blend in with the populace as "the muscle". I really hope he gets his own movie in the future, a lot they could do with it.

the grey hulk was good at times. i guess he just didn't fit in with the hulk history.

then again i hope they don't do the red hulk, blue hulk, she-hulk, red she-hulk, or Hulk hogan movies.

False the Sakaarson is the best Hulk ever. If you've never read Planet Hulk and World War Hulk you really need to do yourself a favor and read them. Best series ever.

Also, seeing it again tonight with some other people I know at the 4 dollar theater woot.

I saw this yesterday, it was pretty good, definitely a good movie to see in the theater if you don't go that often.

People that post things like this are just doing it to brag about how much money they saved. I don't think I've seen a movie so cheap in more than 10 years. Most theaters are charging north of $10 for tickets.

I think it really depends on where you live. Movies at my local theater are only $5 Mon-Thurs, any showing, any movie. It is a few dollars more during the weekend, and 3d adds $3 to the price.

I took my son to see the movie last night, and it definitely lives up to my expectations. Awesome film, with great action, and some funny humor thrown in. The entire cast was fantastic. It is hard to find anything to criticize about the movie. I can't wait to buy the Blu Ray.

Theater near me does 4 dollar tickets on Tuesday and Thursday, 6 dollars for 3d when they have it. All day. We tried to go see it again on Tuesday, but it was sold out all night. Line wrapped around the tiny little theater lol.

You're making the assumption that Friday/Saturday nights are the only "normal" time to see a new movie. Skew that to 10am on a Sat/Sun and pay the deeply discounted "Matinee - First Showing" price.

The only thing you really need to do is learn to get over the daze of walking out of a dark theater into the bright light of a midday afternoon. :awe:

Can somebody explain the Loki interrogation scene to me? How did BW come to her conclusion?

They knew Loki was up to something, but didn't know what. When Loki mentioned "you brought the beast" BW guessed his plan was gambling on that the hulk would eventually bring chaos.

just got back from seeing it w/my wife and we both though it was really awesome. one of the best movies i've seen in a long time for sure.

on another note, it was the first time i saw the dark knight rises trailer, and the trailer just did not do much for me in all honesty. was a huge fan of the dark knight, and i will see it day 1, but it didn't get me too excited about the movie in general.

avengers on the other hand ... wow amazing. can't believe it was 2 hours and 20 minutes. it went by SSSSSSOOOOOOO fast.

One thing it's good to be aware of is that the trailer shown before The Avengers is actually Trailer 3. In my opinion, Trailer 2 is far better.

I was about to say I agree with you, but then I watched both again and they are both epic lol.

Typically I dont like watching movies in IMAX but Batman is the one movie I will since its shot for imax.

We'll have to see how all the big british films coming later this year will do, I think one of them will beat it.

Saw it last night, loved it. Robert Downey Jr. pretty much carried the movie.

The one minor problem I had is the Hulk was mindless monster in the beginning of the movie, and then at the end he was in control and could be directed. Not sure how that works.

Top notch movie though. I HIGHLY recommend seeing Capt. America and Thor before going to the Avengers though, otherwise you'll spend the first half of the movie trying to figure out what's going on (they do re-explain the story eventually, but it's more enjoyable if you go in with pre-knowledge).

I was LOLing at the number of old people that were at the showing. One guy looked like we was around 90, hunched over with a cane, and had to take his hearing aids out and adjust them. Surprised they would go to see something like this :D

BTW- I am SO hungry for shawarma now!
