1. Getting this outta the way: MUCH, MUCH more entertaining than Ang Lee's version. Same w/ (Ed) Norton Banner over (Eric) Bana Banner.2. Love the comic book nods that didn't feel forced, unlike in DAREDEVIL.
3. Two scenes from the trailer weren't in the film: Bruce crossing snowy mountaintops (what, he's gonna freeze his gamma-radiated blood to death?) and the headshrinking session w/ Leonard Samson. Inconsequential, anyway.
4. Turn brain off in wondering how seemingly penniless Bruce was able to return to the US from South America w/o raising attention from Homeland Security (or in the movie's case, S.H.I.E.L.D.), or how Betty got down from a cave atop a high mountain(side) AND made her way back into town, presumably while helping a weak Bruce along (and keeping his pants on).
5. Speaking of Betty, sorry but Jennifer Connelly made the better Betty to Liv Tyler.
6. Two possible reasons why the Hulk is pissed: a) Banner can't have sex 'coz he can't "get excited" and b) As the Hulk his Banner pants don't tear right off and must be squeezing his man-junk something fierce.
7. Action, action and more action (love the part where William Hurt's General Ross is practically ticking off the shopping list of weapons they kept using on the Hulk) to the point I thought the THX speakers couldn't handle it, especially when the Hulk was screaming.
8.Tim Roth's Emil Blonsky went from super-marine to super-soldier to crazed drug addict w/ super 'roid rage as The Abomination, aka, evil Hulk w/o pants nor genitals (an obvious analogy to abuse of steroids causing major shrinkage).
9. No Captain America cameo, but we do get The Leader and Tony Stark, w/ Robert Downey, Jr. seemingly sporting a mustache that looked faker than General Ross'.
10. The minute the Hulk said "Hulk! Smash!" and "Bet-ty...," you could've ended the movie then and there for me. But nah, he had to escape the Army using his worse Jason Bourne parkour imitation ever.
