so who here enjoyed the first Hulk movie? i did. i thought it was a little over done with the special effects. with making the hulk bigger then he should've been.

we know there's another one coming out in 2008. although Eric Bana might not be coming back in the role as Banner/ Hulk. current rumor is that Dominic Purcell from the tv show Prison Break might take over.

Dominic Purcell Up for The Incredible Hulk?

A scooper alerted us that "Prison Break" star Dominic Purcell appeared on New York radio station WPLJ this morning and was asked by hosts Scott Shannon and Todd Pettengill whether he is up for the role of Bruce Banner/Hulk in Marvel Studios' The Incredible Hulk.

Purcell didn't confirm or deny his involvement but the tone of his voice is pretty much a giveaway that he is at least in talks. But don't take our word for it, you can listen to the clip yourself here! If he does get the role, he would be replacing the first film's star, Eric Bana, a favorite of many fans who would like to see him continue the part in the follow-up.

Louis Leterrier directs for a 2008 release by Universal Pictures.

Isn't Banner supposed to be a brainy, nebishy scientist type who transforms into a muscle-bound beast? Why cast someone in the role who already looks like the hulk, even without makeup? Bad casting IMO

Oh come on! The dog fight was great. The ending was a little out there and I think I would have preferred a more traditional editing style.

Casting isn't that great, i think that bruce banner should not luck like the hulk. Get Steve Buscemi, he'd do the trick.

Ah, I haven't seen that movie since it came out. What's the dog fight again?

Neither have I, honestly. From what I remember, there were two huge dogs attacking the girl (can't recall her name) at her place, and the Hulk saved her.

The only thing good about this flick was the battle in the desert. Absorbing Man was done terribly, and using him to give the Hulk a fight was terrible, and the whole globule of energy at the end was dumb.
How about instead a Bill Bixby look-a-like as the dad goes looking for his son after he himself learned to lock the Hulk away. His son of course becomes a Hulk, and dad has to go unlock the Hulk within himself to stop his son, perhaps capture and protect him. You can still have one or both Hulks engage in battles with military weapons, and we could have had a good rompin' stompin' destructive Hulk vs Hulk fight.

But no, we get mutant dogs and Absorbing Man.

i agree that it would be daft casting if the actor actually already looked like hulk.
my favourite scenes in the movie were the more quietly dramatic ones of interpersonal tension (the stuff with the general actually) and the editing totally rocked.

How well box-office wise did the Hulk do? I was under the impression that it did poorly. It's seems strange that they would want to make a sequel, especially since it's been awhile since the last one.

i think there was some talk they left the option for a sequel open. i just hope ang lee gets to do it again. i heard he got so much flak for doing the first one, he considered quitting his directing career.
