Absolutely breath-taking

As critics have already said, this movie rewrites the standard of action hero movies. It is definitely worth seeing - dark, complex, and moving.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I had seen parts of the first Hulk movie and thought it tremendously stupid. I was hesitant about this one, but it had Edward Norton and Liv Tyler in it, so I relented and saw it. Surprisingly (or not), it was great! (As most comic book movies have been in the last few months)
The plot is simple but the actors do a great job at keeping up the pace and making the movie entertaining. Norton as the Hulk adds that human element to the character that Bana couldn't pull off. His transformations really leave you feeling for the poor guy who doesn't want so much power. The Abomination's transformation is fun to watch as well.
I would definitely recommend this movie. Not an oscar-worthy, deep drama type movie, but it is fun to watch and worth the money.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I thought it fit well with the other Indiana Jones movies. The plot may have seemed too simple to some, but it was very entertaining. I would highly recommend it to others.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Amazing movie, even with the differences

I read all the Chronicles of Narnia books several times when I was a child, and while the movie deviates from the books in several points, it worked.
For those complaining that the movie had too much LOTR in it, you do know that Tolkein and C.S. Lewis were friends, right? A lot of their stories share similar imagery. And for those comparing it to Harry Potter - C.S. Lewis came first, and that train station situation was in his book first. ;)
I felt that the movie was just as dark as the book would have wanted it to be - it is a dark period in Narnia's history where they have all but forgotten Aslan and are ruled by a tyrant. Overall, it was a great, fun movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
