I enjoyed "The Hulk" but for sheer entertainment value, I got a bigger thrill from Iron Man.

I have to The Incredible Hulk to watch again (saw it in the theater), but I enjoyed Iron Man more after just a first viewing. The love story in The Incredible Hulk kind of turned me off. I was tired of seeing two scientists get overwhelmed with emotion whenever they were near each other. I like my scientists to be dispassionate robots. The endings of both movies left a bit to be desired, I thought, but still, as far as superhero movies go (okay, one is a rich guy in a suit, and the other is a monster who does heroic things), both were fun.

I enjoyed them both but would have to give the edge to Iron Man, the Hulk however with the buttkicker on felt like it was pounding holes in the floor.

I did watch The Incredible Hulk this morning, and I did like the bass, though I didn't feel Iron Man was lacking in that, either. I'm sure they'll be even more fun after I'm running dual EP800s, whenever I can pay that off. I'm thinking I'll put my preorder in on Monday. I'm still semi-interested in a HSU Research ULS-15 QuadDrive setup, but I imagine the DSP-controlled EP800s would be more linear.

Now that I have things setup, I will have to watch both of them again.

I just pre-ordered Baraka in Blu-ray, from the sounds of all the reviews, not only it is a great movie but will be a great disc to show off my system.

I can only imagine what it would be like on Blu-ray, I'm sure you'll love it!! I found this website spirit of baraka which lists other movies like Baraka and gives a synopsis of each movie. They all looked phenomenal, and I've downloaded a couple on Google video, but The Blue Planet looks like it would be audibly and visually stunning.

I watched Iron Man on bluray last night... WOW! I thought the sound was incredible. It gave my ep500 a really good workout to!

I found the same thing. The boom in one of the opening scenes was the most lifelike I had heard to date.
Interestingly on the Bridge of Khazad Dum scene everone raves about, I was less than impressed. I wonder if that has something to do with the EP350 not being able to reach as low as the 500 or 600?

+1 on Iron Man. There is great LFE throughout. The scene where he emerges from the cave in his first suit is also thunderous.
