@lvenger: I think they have plans for one but it's a few phases down the road. However I hear that Hulk and Hawkeye will get much more to do in Avengers 2. So there is that.
And damnit, now that I mention him I want a Hawkeye solo or a Barton/Widow teamup too!
It was good, but not as good as it could have been. I think the tone of the movie was wonderful at times (especially in the beginning) but it struggled with attempts at humor that were hit and miss. Edward Norton and Liv Tyler really had no chemistry and some scenes they had were downright awkward to watch. However, I think Tim Roth was criminally underrated for his performance here. He really carried a good load of what makes The Incredible Hulk an interesting flick to watch. I loved him as Blonsky/Abomination and William Hurt as Thunderbolt Ross. Honestly, if you're one of the people who saw the disaster that was Ang Lee's Hulk, The Incredible Hulk is worth watching just to see a proper CGI Hulk smashing stuff.
And also, where does this movie stand in the cinematic universe? Is it part of it? I like Ruffalo a lot better as the Banner though honestly, especially his look.
It's definitely part of it. The first one-shot Marvel did involved the World Security Council wanting Abomination for the Avengers and had Coulson get Tony Stark to sabotage that idea.
Well... I enjoyed the film when I was younger, but as the years wore on - I'd revisit it less and less and it's basically non-existent now - I find it annoying at best, boring at worst, and overall... I don't think it's a really good film. Formulate your own opinion, though :P
Yeah I really liked it. Hope he gets another film.
I used to enjoy the film... don't enjoy it anymore... heck, I don't enjoy Hulk films in general. But yeah - I too would like another Hulk film, maybe another director can do the character justice.

Or just a Secret Avengers-type film. That would be so sweet.
I loved it, and was upset that they recast Norton for Avengers originally because he did such a great job.
Yeah - Norton was pretty good, although I liked Mark much more - but I respectfully disagree (sorry for commenting, I just have an impulse to comment on about everything, sorry...)
It's better than a lot of MCU movies normally are, it gets a bit cheesy near the end but the beginning and middle echo the comics faithfully and the performances are solid
The tone's too dark and doesn't work well, film making's evolved in the past 6 years in a sense, it isn't worth watching. If you're bored, I wouldn't recommend you watch it unless you don't think you're bored enough.
