I think that it's an incredible challenge to make this movie work and I respect the immense challenge. Like Lapis' other edits, the pacing is immensely improved and I felt more of a connection to Bruce's character due to the inclusion of some extra scenes. On a sidenote, some of these deleted scenes do have some audio issues compared to the rest of the film, but they're easy to look over. There's also a couple continuity errors end up at a location without a reason, but in the long term its not too bad to ignore.

A great edit! A much deeper "Hulk" emotionally, and the post credit scene works so good. Cover art is amazing!

Only complaint was that some of the cuts to remove the heart rate plot were noticeable due to visual continuity and some quick audio cuts that were noticeable. Not bad, simply less than perfect cinema quality, probably due to what Lapis had to work with.

But overall, really great work and a really fun watch!

Not just a vast improvement on the original version, lapis' edit of Incredible Hulk is a tantalizing glimpse of an alternate MCU where the tone is a bit more Edward Norton and a bit less Robert Downey Jr -- that is to say, dark but not grim and not constant snarky asides. The characters under lapis' editing are more consistent, likeable, sympathetic and, in Tim Roth's case, menacing. For anyone re-watching this film prior to Abomination's reappearances in Shang-Chi and (upcoming) She-Hulk, this is definitely the version you want to watch. One nitpick: while I applaud and agree with the decision to remove Banner's heartrate monitor as a plot device, at several points during the soda factory chase I could hear it beeping and wondered if something was wrong with my phone somewhere. Lastly, the integration of "The Consultant" into the post-credits sequence salvages that original version from incoherence, and it's hugely appreciated to have it here with the film proper.

This edit changes a largely ignored MCU chapter into one of its must-see highlights. Hugely recommended.

P.S. As always, lapis knocks it out of the park on the cover art side of things. Always nice to see Gil "Sugar" Kane's art pop up unexpectedly.

This is the version we should have gotten. It has only the deleted scenes needed back in and a lot of unnecessary parts cut. Doc Samson comes out looking better here too. If you always wanted a good version of this movie, this is it.

Ultimate cut of the movie! A darker and more coherent story. The deleted scenes adds much more consistency. Cutting Betty's useless moments was a smart move, it improves the pacing.
Enjoyed it a lot.
