'Heart Of Gold'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
There's no reason to think he loses all his intelligence and knowledge;
Not other than a lot of comic canon which says he does. It might come as a surprise to many readers, since at one point the writers went to the trouble of having a different coloured Hulk to indicate that he still had his eloquence and brains together.

If he's got enough brains to snark, "Puny god!" and grin to himself, then he's intelligent and self-aware, aware not only of his surroundings but his own responses to them. It takes some brains to be a smart-ass. He's got enough brains to know what was about to happen to Tony when he was falling. He's got enough self-control to give Loki what-for and then walk away smugly having made his point, instead of continuing to beat on and try to kill him. If he's got some of his brains, I say there's reason to believe all his brains are still functioning.

As long as you're good with that contradicting much of comics canon, then why not?
I'm good with that. Comics canon gets rewritten to contradict itself fairly often.
Wouldn't it be fair to say that the end of the movie contradicts comics canon? I mean, the character arc for the Hulk is more or less "don't be afraid of hulking out, if you do it on purpose you can keep your brains and self-control."
The comic Hulk has been able to function enough to be on a good guy team for a long time. He was on the Avengers before the movie, after all. But if you want complex problem solving or fascinating conversation, you do wait for the 'roid rage to subside.

That looks like it could be awesome but will probably be terrible.
That looks like cheesy fun.
