Hellooooo! It's HULK TIME! πππ
We're making our way through the Marvel movies and I'm loving it! This one was totally not what I expected... we got the origin story within the first few minutes and then BAM! We jumped right in. I hope you have as much fun watching this with me as I did!
Oooo sounds interesting... I'd be curious to see how the stories differ!

This is my favorite Hulk / Banner combo. This is a monster movie. A creature that everyone is afraid of and Banner is afraid of it getting out. But because it is darker and not overloaded with silly jokes and one liners, ( which do have their place, don't get me wrong) it doesn't seem to be one of the more popular MCU movies. Is it my favorite Marvel movie? No. But I do really like it. Great reaction. Looking forward to watching more.

Even though it's not MCU, I would be curious to see your reaction to the (2003 I think?) Eric Bana Hulk movie - which also includes heartthrob Jennifer Connelly

I'm not going to start a fight here because I respect Chandra too much (and opinion rights of course) but I disagree π

I love that the hulk would only come out depending on where the sun was - kind of reminds me of a werewolf!

Aha, and here I thought the security guard scene was the only call back.

Signing off for today. Canada and Canadians are some of the best people. It wasn't until I watched South Park did I realize that Canada consumes more Kraft Macaroni and Cheese per capita than any other nation on the planet. Not only that, you gave us SCTV, John Candy, and Bob and Doug Mckenzie! May the Great White North always shine!

Okay. 200 IQ Chandra is on the prowl. First it's IRON-MAN and talking about the game of OPERATION. Now she says Emil Blonski is turning into a monster and seconds later he says he's turning into a Monster. Chandra, you're pegging the intelligence meter. Just like a Canadian movie called SCANNERS, you'll probably start exploding heads soon.

Holy crap in a pita! The Jack MacGee character that is a reporter is the foil to Banner's character from the 1970s TV show!!! I'm having flash-backs, Chandra!!!

This theme makes me cry harder being a Widower. Much like Bruce Banner.

There are many call backs to THE INCREDIBLE HULK TV show that many people have seen. The most touching one is the "Lonely Man" instrumental theme. You can hear it when Banner is in the rain and the location text for Chiapas Mexico comes up.

Edward Norton is far better than Mark Ruffalo. Fight me.

This is definitely one of my least favorite movies, but I'm glad you liked it. I was just curious how you'd continue watching. Will you follow my list or just watch the MCU movies? I don't want to force you into anything, I'm just curious.

You missed 1 scene on tv in the beginning where we saw Bill Bixby who played Bruce Banner in the original tv series.
Also they snuck in a little nod to the original theme song after he ran away in Brazil.

This movie is a great example of why reactors that are not familiar with the lore a movie is based should be allowed to make up their own minds about the movies. So many people bash this movie, yet I have see many reactors, even after acknowledging they were told it was "one of the worst MCU movies", still enjoy the Hell out of it.
The MCU has defined its own canon for these characters and a lot of effort was put into making it all work together while building strong bones... well, at least for the amazing experience that Phases 1, 2 and 3 provide.

Yes, that was Lou Ferrigno as the security guard at the laboratory where Bruce obtained access to Betty's computer.
Earlier in the movie, a TV set shows Bill Bixby in TV show, "The Courtship of Eddie's Father". Bixby was the scientist to Ferrigno's Hulk in their TV series together. Bixby had an even earlier comedy series in black & white - "My Favorite Martian", opposite the lead character played by Emmy and Tony Award winner, Ray Walston. I liked seeing these nods to earlier incarnations of The Hulk.

This older Marvel movie is still my favorite out of everything that came later. It, and the first two Tobey Maguire "Spider-Man" films, feel closest to the older Marvel comics.
The Hulk origin depicted in this movie differs from the original Jack Kirby/Stan Lee comic story. Bruce Banner was conducting experiments in the desert and an explosion exposed him to a potentially fatal blast of gamma radiation. In the original stories, Banner would change into the Hulk when the sun went down (or vice versa... I'm kinda fuzzy on that). He would imprison himself in a concrete bunker with steel-reinforced doors to contain the Hulk until he had changed back to Banner.
I once had a collection of Marvel comics. None of the classic issues I had were in pristine condition, but just what I could afford to purchase from my neighborhood used book store, with my paper route money. I remember I had some old Jack Kirby-illustrated "Fantastic Four" issues, a well-worn "Spider-Man" number 7 drawn by Steve Ditko, and several dozen newer Marvel comics.
