It's out now - what did people think? Personally, having not seen either of the Hulk films, I never realised quite how funny the big green guy was.

There is a credits stinger, but it seems aimed at people who actually know the comics - all it said to me was "there may be a sequel to this".

Is it only out in Europe?

I thought it wasn't till mid-May here...

Early May. Specifically, you should get it on Friday.

It came out last Wednesday for us. ANZAC Day. Been pretty damn popular so far. Seen the movie twice thanks to different groups of friends. So far as I can tell, there's nothing at the very end of the movie for this Marvel movie, just the teaser bit in the credits.

The story isn't going to be full of meaning. They can't focus too much on any character and they've already been introducing lots of bits and pieces. This is a movie with a lot of potential, and it does not reach that huge potential. But if you're wondering whether it passes as a good movie just in general, of course it does. It's a pretty damn good watch, even if it's mainly just action, posing, a few small mind games and the general mix of humour. They throw the characters in together pretty well, especially in the couple of scenes where the main ones are all together. The new Hulk actor does pretty damn well, and I'm rather sure most will agree... I'd dare to say he's perhaps one of the best renditions, adding in elements of other representations of Hulk fairly well, but I'm hardly an expert on "Hulkology".

If you want to be tough on the film, I'm sure there's plenty you could tear into about the film but it's pretty solid. I'm happy with it myself. Nothing truly stands out as being awful about the film either, which is always a good sign. Definitely worth the watch. And if you care about 3D, it's not bad in it, but there's only a couple of parts that really "bring you into the movie" so for the sake of ease, I'd forgo it.

I personally think it's the best superhero film ever been released. It might not be as edgy as The Dark Knight, but I certainly found it to be more entertaining. With an ensemble cast like this it threatens to leave one or two of the characters behind in the dust, but barring maybe Hawkeye I think everyone got their moment in the spotlight.. several moments in fact with perhaps Hulk being the breakout character despite having the least screen time (talking Hulk specifically, not Banner.) Also it's got to be one of the funniest films in the genre, I found myself laughing out loud often and yet it didn't really take away from the film's more serious moments or risk turning into anything particularly goofy.

So yes, I would definitely recommend this to any and everyone.

Movie is good. Must see if you saw Iron Man or Captain America and liked those. New Bruce Banner is awesome, great acting. Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man is awesome but doesn't steal the show too much, thankfully. Mandatory Woman On Team (I meant Black Widow) is actually competent and does awesome stuff.

Just see it.

It's good.

Very good.

Wholeheartedly agreed with the above.

And stay till the end of the credits, as usual.

Spoiler

How many people stayed till the very end of the credits to see Joss Whedon troll his audience?

Funniest end-of-credits scene ever.

[Desperado]

Well I was trolled. Because there was nothing there. Damn US exclusive clip. *grumbles*

[Kaskah]

Yeah I tried that but got kicked out beforehand. At least I saw the stinger that made me go "YESSSSS".
