It's always a good thing to see Universal starting to introduce more and more catalog titles to the format...on that note, I thought the movie was horrible and is a pass for me.

indiephantom · 08-02-2008, 08:09 AM

I hate this film...

Don't like the new one much either.

Downhere · 08-02-2008, 08:28 AM

Well, considering this was one of the best looking High Definiton discs I owned on either format, this should look great as well on Blu-ray. Should be a treat for anyone who likes the film.

I actually liked this movie. Nick Nolte was an excellent villian, the story was intelligently written and engaging as drama, and the comicbook panelling was pretty neat. (In a way, I'm kind of glad it failed at the box office. Had it been successful, one could easily imagine every hack in Hollywood trying to replicate that comic-book splitscreen and failing terribly)

As a matter of fact, I'd even rate it as one of the my absolute favourite superhero movies, ever. Just below 'Batman Returns' and 'The Dark Knight' and just ahead of 'Superman'

Zyclone · 08-02-2008, 09:15 AM

will pick it up at some stage to support eric.b thought it was a ok film.

BirdManJr · 08-02-2008, 09:15 AM

this movie belongs in the super hero dollar bin with catwoman & elektra

Darth Lavender · 08-02-2008, 09:20 AM

Now that's interesting... Specs are saying it will be a Blu-ray 25 gig disk (that's something like 22.5 gigabytes)
I just put my HDDVD in the drive, and it's a full 27.9gigabytes (ie. a full '30 gig' HDDVD)

Although, that may be partly because of all the alternate language tracks (even so, the HDDVD didn't have a full DTS HD MA audio track) (Mine is the Australian/European disk, btw (hence all the other languages)

GreenScar · 08-02-2008, 09:41 AM

I'm on the fence with this. I'll wait to see the price.

richieb1971 · 08-02-2008, 11:32 AM

This movie felt about 8 hours long to me. BD25?

R3P0 · 08-02-2008, 12:21 PM

this movie was a complete joke and its a hell of an insult for universal to release this before other movies like o i dunno the Bourne series

u_nick · 08-02-2008, 12:35 PM

One of my favorite comic movies. And my most wanted HDDVD exclusive. SO happy it's on the way.

ItsGettingHotInEER · 08-02-2008, 02:31 PM

I'm in the middle on this one, might be nice to see Hulk in HD, but, I didn't really like this film, but, I didn't hate it either, my wife liked it better then I did. But, after seeing the new Hulk movie, I didn't love that one either, I think there were elements in both movies that were good, and if combined, the movie could have been better, but, tons of problems with the films also.

DetroitSportsFan · 08-02-2008, 02:42 PM

If it's $20 like the Mummy movies (which there's no reason why it shouldn't be), I'll probably pick it up.

ECWaenigma · 08-02-2008, 09:37 PM

Definitely picking it up, but REALLY looking forward to the extra 70 minutes of the already amazing "The Incredible Hulk".

This is the 2003 version (not the new one that was in theaters this year).

aygie · 08-02-2008, 10:03 PM

I'll pick it up.

Clark Kent · 08-03-2008, 12:33 AM

This movie is simply too long to look great on a BD-25. I hope that is a mistake in the listing.

Darth Lavender · 08-03-2008, 01:13 AM

You haven't seen the HDDVD, I'm guessing.

Heck, the three hour King Kong (including three hours of U Control) is still considered one of the best demo pieces available, and the Blu-Ray TMNT looks incredible, at less than 15 gigabytes (including all the extras)
For that matter, Planet Earth fits almost three hours of incredibly sharp imagery onto each 25gig disk.

Blu Titan · 08-03-2008, 03:26 AM

I know the movie is bad, but it is the HULK. A must for me.
