THE BEST DTS:X AUDIO SO FAR? | THE INCREDIBLE HULK 4K ULTRAHD BLU-RAY REVIEW

[@williamjackson6705]

2008 was a good year for comics movies. Iron Man , Incredible Hulk , Hell-Boy : The Golden Army & The Dark Knight. They were all great .

[@RhodieSlayer]

The Incredible Hulk is Extremely underrated. people seem to forget its part MCU

[@Stuart267]

Its also the most over priced on Steelbook though

[@xboxgod7725]

@@Stuart267 until now. Best Buy has it for $20, whereas the 'blufans' version is $90+

@@xboxgod7725 Dammit! That sucks, here in the UK it costs £35 that's over double the cost of the US version, I just paid £38 for the fancy Zavvi collectors edition of Endgame off a site called CEX

[@xboxgod7725]

@@Stuart267 zavvi can have bullshit prices for US customers. They want $55 from US customers for 2003 & 2008 Hulk movies as 4K Steelbooks, yet I got 2 copies of 2003 Hulk from Amazon France & a BB steelbook of 2008 Hulk & still saved money instead buying through zavvi

[@Stuart267]

@@xboxgod7725 I know what you mean it is over priced to ship anywhere outside of the UK, which is weird because Zavvi is an American company, CEX is a Brit company that sell Steelbooks dirt cheap. I got the entire Alien 4K collection on Steelbook for under £80-$104 for 6 films is pretty cheap considering the price they sell for on eBay

[@cinemasix4418]

Criminally underrated movie. Ferocious, powerful and angry hulk. This is the best representation of the character in the movies. Everything except his leaping was spot on. The angrier hulk gets the stronger he gets, the way he’s supposed to be. Great movie. Nice steelbook.

I have the blu ray and the 4k disc, and I showed a buddy of mine a demo of this and he immediately ditched his Bose 321 system and got a receiver and speaker package and hooked it up. I got him into home theater with this movie

[@TheFellCloud]

For anyone interested Ang Lee's 2003 HULK on 4K looks amazing. I know people think this is a bad movie but I love it and Jennifer Connelly in 4K is worth every penny.

[@jonseyjones321]

It's technically a spiritual sequel to the 2003 Hulk. It was originally written as a sequel and a lot of those elements are still there.

[@travisspazz1624]

Underrated Marvel movie, I especially really like the score!

[@connorstephens7467]

One of the worst easily. It has not aged well.

[@KL-nv2xr]

Agreed, not my favorite but it is definitely better than people make it out to be.

[@archiefc44]

Same these earlier marvel and MCU movies feel like they have a lot more heart. I'd rather watch this or The Punisher over a random Thor, Capn America , etc. Even many good MCU films feel so bland

[@alvaronostades2773]

Connor Stephens its one of the best, ucm got worse by the time, avengers end game was pure shit, FFH was the worst superheroe movie of all time

[@THEremiXFACTOR]

True, the score is good and certainly better than most Marvel scores.

[@dbdeets]

I can´t speak for the "new" DTS:X audio. Other than that the "old" 5.1 was enough for my neighbour to call the police. That´s always a plus in my book for the mix being extra delicious. Luckily that neighbour is long gone. 🙈

[@willworld3007]

This movie is one of my major go too!!!! Demo 4k movies for killer bass. The fight scene at the end is a classic.

[@Zombiezero4]

In my opinion, besides all 3 Sam Raimi's Spiderman Films, The Incredible Hulk is my favorite Marvel Superhero Film.

[@andudontstopyo]

This channel is so informative. I'm learning a lot. I would of never know that all 4k blu-ray will not blow you away. It all depends how the movie was shot and what elements are in the film. Great review!!😊

[@richardskelding4528]

Watch Pacific Rim in 4K. That was done as a 2K upscale and you'd never know unless you looked it up, it looks phenomenal!

[@CoinOpTV]

Fun movie - def fallls higher on my list than Thor 2 and Iron Man 2

[@Willsmalltownbourbon]

Just watched this, I forgot I got it on a black friday deal. It's been sitting there on my shelf, thanks to your review I watched it. It was AMAZING sound!

[@howardbrooks101]

Hey Jeff I appreciate your honesty! Good review! I I'm keeping my blu ray version of The Hulk since the 4k picture isn't much better.

[@petecap4382]

Hey I just purchased the reason you hear all over on the DTS X is because it’s default setting is DTS X MA which is all channels intresting first movie that I've heard with tht mix sounds great worth upgrade .

[@jaylundgreen]

Is this audio track different than the previous 4K release for the movie? Is this steelbook actually a different disc?

[@jimmyschofield9138]

Great review! I like this movie more than most, don’t see why people hate on it so much

[@ForEternia]

Easily my favorite Hulk movie. I was happy with the bluray too. It's a shame the EP couldn't work things out with Edward Norton. Then Norton could have remained a part of the MCU. 🤨

[@TerryFT86]

One of my favorite MCU movie ..... I mean it's Edward Norton VS Mark Ruffalo, what more can I say? In the early days of MCU they really try to pick actors that can carry the film all by themself despite the story. Him & Robert downey jr were exactly that.

[@sidemachine]

Hello, Jeff (Geoff?)! Question: What do you think the chances are that the Bill Bixby / Lou Ferrigno Hulk series will come to 4K? I saw that it made it to blu Ray.

[@AlexanderMorganUK]

Have you seen the Zavvi steelbook for this? The artwork is phenomenal! They also offer Hulk (2003) or a boxset with both films. Also includes the DTS:X track

[@victorpulos823]

I own it on Blu-ray and I love it

[@jonseyjones321]

It's a 2K upscale because it was industry standard at the time to lock them at 2K. That's just as high as the standard was at the time. I'm sure it's been pumped up now because 4K is more common.

[@DaGrimmReaper]

Does it come with a digital copy?

[@javierszapari5836]

Dude, first of all, i like very much your channell, i found it recently and is very informative. When you talk about the CGI in this movie i think in all my discussions about it, i never understand why people dislike the Hulk movie of 2003, not only looks better than this one but has a better cast, (i'm not talking about the quality of the actors, i'm talking about fitting the right way into the comics imagery) and the CGI looks awesome. When i watched The Incredible Hulk in 2008, my feeling was like watching a PS4 game, and that was a great disappointment. What is sure is that Marvel, in some ways, tried to link both movies whith the travel of Banner through Southamerica, and that was one of the reasons thet led to the dismissal of Norton who wanted to do a tribute to the series while Marvel wanted to create the MCU. Both movies are fun, but i prefer the one from 2003. Ang Lee is great artist and you can see that in the movie

[@greenm0bsta889]

Hey Jeff, Should I get the 4K of Parasite, or get the Criterion. Im torn

I have a technical question: Do standard Blu Rays, 1080p, look as good on 4K TVs as they do on standard hi def, 1080p, TVs? The reason I ask is DVDs look better on standard def sets than they do on hi def sets.

Best Marvel movie ever made.

[@jonseyjones321]

The film was a joint project between Universal (because they own the Hulk) and Marvel Studios. It doesn't have the logo because Universal made the film and distributed it. I believe the Spider-Man films don't have the Marvel Studios logo in it either.

George Rios I’m not sure how to handle it 100% right. You could do what you are suggesting, but I think the real solution is to shoot digitally if you’re going to use a lot of CGI. But nowadays with CGI technology you can probably get away with it better than they could in 2008

[@THEBATMAN28AHH]

@@JeffRauseo right. With some of the video games I've been playing such as, "Star Wars Battlefront 2" and "Call of Duty: Warzone", they both have film grain affects that look pretty convincing. It would be interesting to apply those to movie cgi and see what happens!

Speaking of the best DTS:X audio. IMAX Enhanced pops in my mind. Maybe you could do tech review/info about that - if your setup support that. Not many titles to support it - Bad Boys for Life is the latest. IMAX Enhanced does some tricks on video and audio. At least on video side there is one negative issue - that system will reduce noise and grain.

For those who collect Steelbooks, not having the Marvel Studios logo on the spine is a major let down. Even their standard 4K release had the correct Marvel logo on it. And the disc used in this steelbook looks identical to the standard 4K release from years ago. It would put it down to the Universal marketing department not paying attention.

Great review of a mediocre movie. The production team really should've used the older silver/bronze age Hulk comics (68-85) for creative reference than the post 2000 comics they did use. To be fair it was better than the cinematic shit sandwich Ang Lee served up but it is still inferior to any of the other MCU movies.
