Tsk tsk, you can't post that here. You have to start an entierly new thread, and then act like you're the most original person in the world for coming up with such a great thread idea. 
The Hulk looks pretty good, I'll have to drag my wife to see it with me.

The CGI looked better than Spiderman, which imo, looked way too cartoonish. I liked the movie overall. It took it a while to get going, and could have left out some of the drama. I really hated the.....

Nick Nolte monster at the end. Why was he able to change into whatever he touched? He was subject to the same experiment Bruce was, so why didnt he just change into a hulk as well?

Because when Bruce was born it was a mutation of the original.

I managed to see it 2 times in about six hours. Two different groups of friends wanted to see it, and I liked it enough the first time I went again.
The CGI I thought was quite good. Some people say it looked to cartoony, however that was basically because the textures weren't all that detailed. However, since I have never seen a real hulk how do we know exactly what it would look like?
The directing I thought was decent, but the way it kept jumpting between the present, and flashbacks and how you would have 3 different things on the screen at once was very distracting.
It seems everyone either loves it or hates it.

i will have to disagree with you. i was totally dissapointed by this movie much like the critics i normally disagree with said i would be. i thought that it looked more cartoonish but everyone has their own opinion. i also didn't like the exagerrated size of the hulk. lou farigno (sp?) was about 6'10" IIRC, nowhere near the 25' the movie made him to be. it would have been better to get a body builder and us him as the hulk. then it would have also looked more realistic. just my opinions though...

They didn't base the movie on the TV show. They based it on the comic. In the comic, he's HUGE. He's supposed to be an exaggeration (sp?). Larger than life. A.... well... "hulk-"ing mass. He wasn't supposed to just be a well-built guy.
They also goofed the origin a bit. According to the book, his father was abusive, and Bruce absorbed the gamma when trying to save Rick Jones from a gamma bomb test explosion. The gamma radiation mutated him, and the pent-up rage that he had over his abuse triggered a massive adrenaline/hormonal surge, which resulted in him becoming this gigantic monstrosity. Which is why when he was injured, the Hulk would come out to play.
-----SPOILER WARNING--------
That being stated... I enjoyed it. I could have done without the father/son battle. They took a guy who was supposed to be dead, kept him alive, and gave him the powers of Crusher Creel (The Absorbing Man). The battle was useless, the lead-in scene was overacted. It was horribly disjointed (even compared to the rest of the movie). But, that is the only part of the movie that I didn't like. The size of him (The Hulk) was right, the CGI was good, but, I wouldn't place it near Spidey. Some of the "human" CGI in Spidey wasn't terriffic (him climing up the wall in his wrestling getup comes to mind), but, the budget that it takes to make believeable, human CGI is rediculous. We'll have to see how the sequels pan out. Yes, The Amazing Spider-Man is due May '04, and Ang Lee has stated he'd like to do another movie before working on The Hulk sequel.
Wow... I'm SUCH a geek. LOL
PS... GREAT cameo by Stan Lee and Lou Ferrigno as security guards!!!

In a way, I have to agree with him being that big. Remember, this is a comic book that started YEARS ago. At the time, 7' tall was HUGE. We now have basketball players who are 7 1/2 feet tall. Anything smaller than like 10' tall would have made him look tiny.
There were some things I didn't like but it was OK overall. Some of the transformation and fight scenes were pretty intense. And I like that it seemed like he wasnt used to his size or strength. Clumsy even.
I liked when they hacked him off and he grew like another 2 feet. Good baseline for a sequel.

Agreed! The Hulk was the worse. The plot was terrible. It took way too long to set up and just simply wasn't enough action. That's a movie you wait to come out on DVD or pay per view. It definitely was not worth the $6 I paid for it. At least Spider-Man had a vilian who made the movie worth watching. Not only that, but they deviated a little too much from the comic books. I guess they felt like there needed to be some additions in order to make a movie out of it. They could have done way better than that.
