Hulk DVD details!

Though the box-office grosses don’t really show it, THE INCREDIBLE HULK is a far, far, far superior film to the 2003 HULK and is a great movie in and of its own right. To me it was the definition of a great summer popcorn movie and I make no bones about putting it right up there with IRON MAN. For those who weren’t able to catch it in theaters or simply want another chance at it, INCREDIBLE HULK is smashing onto DVD and Blu-ray (or is it Green-ray?…) on October 21st. There will be a 3-disc special edition standard DVD, a 2-disc Blu-ray and a single-disc standard DVD.  Here’s the details on the features:
