Minor spoilers alert! (Nothing too big though)

It was a decent movie. It took too long to progress to the point where Bruce becomes the Hulk. One thing I didn't really care for is the use of split screens. I didn't mind the fact that they did this so much, it's just that it made it a little bit harder to follow when you're trying to see what's going on in 3 or 4 different parts of the screen. Sometimes they were just different angle shots of the same scene which wasn't bad but others were completely different scenes that you had to pay attention to in order to be able to follow the story line.

All in all I give it a 3 1/2 out of 5 stars. The acting from almost every person involved - most notably Jennifer Connelly, and Eric Bane - was done realitively well which made the movie more enjoyable. All to often you get movies like this with poor acting that ruins what would be a good movie.
Rags- I think that was the subtle comic book panel "stylized" integration into the movie. I actually kind of liked it, but of course I grew up with comic books. It was something different Ang Lee threw in.

My favorite part was the Stan Lee and Lou Ferigno cameo in the beginning of the movie (Security guards).

I really did not like the Hulk. The cgi effect just didn't look real enough. I would have to agree with the review though, 3.5 our of 5.

I am more of the type to check out new movies than to follow movies that portray something familiar.
Though I might see Terminator 3 I am looking forward to Pirates of the Carribean

I just came back from watching Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines.

It was good. Very good. As good as the Last two. I will definitely go see it again.

*** WARNING: SPOILERS ***
So... Judgment Day was not averted because of the events of T2. It was only delayed. Now, T-X has been sent back in time to kill John Conner and his future lieutenants, and another T-800 sent back to protect him. T-X is beautiful, very beautiful, I like her! She is also a very dangerous and efficient killing machine, more advanced than the T-1000, with new abilities. Lots of destruction, explosions, and wrecked cars and buildings, as T-X and T-800 battle each other. The scary thing is that the story of Skynet taking over computers, AI- controlled military drones, and the nuclear missiles sounds disturbingly plausible. The surprise ending was rather dark and not very happy... I wonder if they will make a T4?
