The Hulk (2003) - Blu-ray Forum

Deadset · 09-04-2008, 05:53 PM

I'm getting ready for this release...ready to upgrade my 2-disc DVD set. For those that don't know, this blu-ray release will have all the same extras that were in the DVD set, just on one disc. The blu-ray details say it has the same extras as the HD-DVD, which had the same for the DVD 2 disc set, so no worries about extras not being ported over.

With master audio and a cleaned up high def picture, this is a definite upgrade. Here's to hoping they get this release right the first time. Universals done a good job so far, so hopefully this will be no exception

Can't wait for September 16th.

Once again my BB had this one out yesterday for rent. I grabed it quickly. The audio is fantastic as well the PQ is nice. I dont really like the movie, but hey not a totally bad movie for one decent rent. I wouldn't buy it, but if you like this movie and want an upgrade on PQ and SQ, they you should nag this one up.

Moefiz · 09-04-2008, 06:01 PM

I didn't hate this movie,I just found it more of a drama than a comic book movie.I won't mind upgrading my DVD also if the price is good.

Red Hood · 09-04-2008, 06:12 PM

I would like to watch it again, don't know if I could bring myself to purchase it.

Giyomu · 09-04-2008, 06:24 PM

ordered it

Thomas22360 · 09-04-2008, 06:32 PM

Is that somebody has a photo of the back cover ?

I think these two Hulk movies are a bit confusing. Maybe they should have been released with more years apart.

I'm soooo tempted to buy this one, but im not sure, if It will be worth it. I understand that someone rented this already? From 1-5, how do you rate the PQ?

Thanks for the info. I'm really looking forward to the audio upgrade the most. Just curious what your setup is and how it rates to other movies you've seen.

I think maybe the first movie should never have been released!

About 2000 a friend lent me a real life "Fantastic 4" VHS movie which dated back to 1990! At best it was a B- movie and I see why it went straight to video. In my opinon, the 2003 Hulk should have done the same.

I ignorantly bought the DVD, having not seen the movie, and regretted it. But I did watch "the Hulk" parts prior to seeing the new movie. If only to get pumped up. I can't believe how stupid and boring this movie was when all I watched were the Hulk scenes.

I found one special effect very interesting. Where Nick Nolte's hand was morphing and taking the shape of the table top, and passing through it. Ang Lee was promoted to incompetence when he was given this movie. He even did all the motion capture and screams of the Hulk.

"Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm Ang Lee."

I searched many a thread before posting this, lots of confusion in those threads, so I posted the year in the title and a pic of the case, just to make sure folks would know which one...

As far PQ I would give it a 4. Very clean, not to much grain.

Great to hear. Could you post a pic? Review copies have yet to arrive, so I'm anxious to see it. Sounds great.

Hulk is one of the finest motion pictures ever made. It was maybe the only film that maybe even slightly made me consider buying a cheap HD DVD player. September 16 will result in the highest film in my top-films-of-all-time-to-be-released-on-Blu-ray list, Blade Runner, being replaced. This will not happen again until Peter Jackson's Heavenly Creatures is released on BD. Mark your calendars.

What did people dislike about this movie? I thought it was really good and I really loved the casting with both Eric and Jennifer. And I REALLY LOVE the whole Beauty and the Beast angle with how Hulk would calm down as soon as he saw her. She does have amazingly beautiful eyes, that's for sure.
I really liked this movie and can't wait to have this Blu-ray!

I don't see why people hated it so much either. I'm guessing there just isn't enough action in it for them. That doesn't make it a bad movie though. Lots of great movies don't have a ton of action. The only problem with the Hulk is that people were expecting a ton of action. Once you realize what this movie is though, it's an enjoyable watch.

I have my copy pre-ordered and am looking forward to seeing it again. In all honesty though, if I weren't boycotting Warner titles, The Hulk would have probably been pushed off my 2008 purchase list and into early 2009.

Side note - I really love the cover art/poster for this version of the Hulk. Beats the art for the new hulk movie by a landslide IMO

Memnoch71 · 09-05-2008, 05:02 PM

I'll be getting it too. I thought it was a good film, not great, but definitely worth the price of admission.

DavePS3 · 09-05-2008, 05:11 PM

What I didn't like about it were 2 related things actually... the whole father and son thing - father trying to actually kill his own infant son and the whole Nolte character against grown-up son thing. I was a big fan of Hulk in the 60's... loved the old cartoons and comic books but not this father against son angle in this film. Some of the effects were great, there are some really good demo scenes, good sound... they just should have left out that one angle but I suppose they wanted more drama than just the military trying to kill off the big green bugger. I can understand that for sure... just wish they could have come up with another idea.
