here's an excerpt of the review covering the technical aspects of the dvd. the complete review can be found here:

http://www.dvdmg.com/incrediblehulk.shtml

The DVD Grades: Picture A-/ Audio A/ Bonus B+

The Incredible Hulk appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 2.35:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions. Expect few problems here, as the transfer boasted solid visuals.

At no point did any real concerns with sharpness materialize. Most of the time, the movie featured concise, accurate elements, as only a sliver of softness ever occurred. I noticed a hint of edge enhancement – most obvious around onscreen lettering – but shimmering and jagged edges remained absent. Source flaws failed to create distractions, as the movie was free from defects.

As for colors, Hulk went with a hot South American palette during its early scenes. It cooled somewhat as it progressed, but it maintained a pretty obvious green orientation much of the time. All of these fit the design and looked good. Blacks were dark and dense, while shadows showed fine clarity and delineation. Overall, this was a very satisfying transfer.

And the Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack of The Incredible Hulk worked even better. To put it simply, this mix rocked! From the opening ghost credit/origin sequence through all of the fight scenes, the track blasted all five channels through much of the film. Music showed nice stereo presence and delineation and miraculously held its own up against the effects.

Nonetheless, the latter dominated the mix, as they took control of the spectrum. These elements swirled about the spectrum and strongly enhanced the film. The louder action scenes offered terrifically involving and active audio. The surrounds provided plenty of discrete sound that seemed appropriate and blended well with the forward elements.

Audio quality also appeared excellent. Dialogue seemed natural and distinct, with no signs of edginess or problems related to intelligibility. Music sounded bright and vivid. The score showed nice depth and solid fidelity; the track replicated those elements quite well. Still, the effects remained the strongest aspect of the mix. From the environmental bits to the sonic assault of the fight sequences, the track featured clear and accurate audio that remained rich at all times. Bass response was simply terrific, as the track boasted deep, tight low-end elements; look to the campus battle for some serious subwoofer-pumping information. Overall, Incredible Hulk gave us a fine sonic affair that just barely fell below “A+” levels; this was a consistently great track that should act as demo material...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

that should give us hope for the r3 release, right?

Guys, which among the 2 Hulk movies shown is the better film...Eric Bana's version or Edward Nortons version?

Edward norton is way much better. Didnt you notice thats why eric bana didnt reprise the role as hulk2 (He sucks!) and instead made a new version.

I think both are ok but I still prefer the original one.

The original hulk Lou Ferrigno was in this movie. He was the security guard Ed has given a the free pizza.

Actually, this is already available this week exclusively (for now, at least) at Astrovision V-Mall's Anniversary Sale (in the first floor lobby of V-Mall). They had both 1-disc and 2-disc variants today. No steelbook yet.

Just an observation, 4 pesos ang difference sa price ng 2 disc ng The Hulk at Iron Man. (2 disc The Hulk is 895 while 2 disc Iron Man is priced at 899)

Hmm bat kaya?

Dahil siguro mas mabili ung Iron Man at mas madagdagan ung kita nila. Bakit nga kaya?

Mas mahal daw kasi ang bakal. Hehehe. But seriously it's obvious that the distributor just wants to take advantage of the consumer. Iron Man is a sure thing when it comes to DVD sales.
