On June 13, get ready to unleash the beast.
This summer, our only hope is something incredible
This June, a hero shows his true colors
A cure is in reach for the world's most primal force of fury: THE INCREDIBLE HULK. We find scientist Bruce Banner, living in shadows, scouring the planet for an antidote. But the warmongers who dream of abusing his powers won't leave him alone, nor will his need to be with the only woman he has ever loved, Betty Ross. Upon returning to civilization, our brilliant doctor is ruthlessly pursued by The Abomination — a nightmarish beast of pure adrenaline and aggression whose powers match The Hulk's own. A fight of comic-book proportions ensues as Banner must call upon the hero within to rescue New York City from total destruction. One scientist must make an agonizing final choice — accept a peaceful life as Bruce Banner or the creature he could permanently become: THE INCREDIBLE HULK.

Another great Marvel movie this summer.
posted on 30 Aug 2009I must say this movie really was........"Incredible". I loved it. I went in expecting a movie that was going to lean on action sequences, and have some boring, pointless dialouge. I came out extremely satisfied. It wasn't as funny or as "cool" as Iron Man, but the action was just as good.The movie starts off with some really well done editing, in which they show how Bruce Banner "accidentally" got his Hulk powers. Then it shows Banner in Brazil, where he works in a bottling factory. The U.S. Military learns of his location, and quickly dispatches commandos to capture him. The movie lifts off at this point, and doesn't come back down until the end of the movie.The acting is top notch. Edward Norton blows Eric Bana away with a much better performance as Banner, though Norton is no where near as witty as Robert Downey Jr. I think Liv Tyler really does an excellent job as Betty, Banner's Girlfriend. Betty is really the only person who believes that there is good inside the Hulk. Throughout the whole movie she stands by Bruce, and is the only one who supports him. William Hurt is awesome as General Ross. He really unleashes his acting ability in this movie. Tim Roth is an excellent villain. Roth's character really only cares about himself, and will double cross anyone for power.The CGI is absolutely gorgeous looking, and some of the scenery can be very pretty. They finally get the Hulk to look somewhat realistic.What I loved about this movie is that it had a really good message in it. Throughout the whole movie Ross and military were trying to capture, and possibly kill Banner. At the end of the movie Banner is still willing to save humanity, and fight the abomination. From the beginning of the movie till the end Banner is acting like a true hero. He is trying to cure his "disease", and submits to being a lowly factory worker in the Brazilian slums. He dives out of a helicopter and hits the ground, hoping that he can turn into the Hulk, mind you, he doesn't know whether or not the he can still become the Hulk.I really enjoyed this movie, and came out smiling. I would definitely see this movie if you want a thrilling and epic action movie.
I preferred Ang Lee's version
posted on 30 Aug 2009Ang Lee's 2003 version of the Hulk had flaws aplenty: hulked out puppies, plastic-looking CGI, an inexplicably "acid-trip" climax, and a baby-faced hulk design to name but a few. This reboot attempt neatly avoids many of those flaws but sadly introduces a whole new set of it's own.On the positive side, the relationship between Banner and Betty Ross is far more palpable and emotional here - thanks mostly to Norton and Tyler's fantastic acting. The hulk design itself just looks cooler, with more realistic CGI (though still far from perfect), and more adult facial features. There are some great cameos and worthy homage paid to the TV series that many of us enjoyed when we were kids. Tim Roth is excellent as always. In other words, director Louis Leterrier has definitely gotten some things right.For me though, this version falls down in two major aspects. First, there seems to be a lack of rising action in the script. The plot certainly escalates, but somehow the finale is no more exciting or interesting than the opening scenes. Each action scene, though fun in it's own right, does not increase the conflict, tension, or drama of the previous scenes. The result is a mechanistic emotional flatline. Put a simpler way, when two giant monsters are on-screen, battling and destroying a city, and I catch myself glancing at my watch, something, somewhere, ain't quite right.The biggest problem I have though, is that the essence of the Hulk is watered down here. Traditionally the Hulk is the raging, uncontrollable, dark side of man. And its strength and power increase according to the depths of its anger. The madder the Hulk gets, the stronger the Hulk gets. Ang Lee's Hulk did this - the bigger the threat, the bigger the Hulk! We saw him take out military helicopters and fighter jets as if they were children's toys. We saw him toss 70 tons of Abrams tank off to the horizon! This was the true essence of the Hulk. This new take, however, sees the Hulk diluted to a Disney version that flinches at bullets from a .45 handgun and hurts his head when he bumps it on a cave roof. The largest thing he handles is a small forklift truck.It's a small gripe, I suppose, but an important one. I would think that if a film about a creature with superhuman strength is to be better than it's predecessors, surely the creature should be... well... better than it's predecessors.In conclusion, if you want to see a better *film*, see this version; but if you want to see a better *Hulk*, then Ang Lee's version has that nailed.
The "INCREDIBLE" Hulk
posted on 30 Aug 2009All my previous experiences with HULK movies have been disappointing. No offense intended to the people who made the previous movies, but this is what I had been expecting to see in a HULK movie, not just because of the top notch CGI or the casting choices(William Hurt was perfect as General Ross and so was Liv Tyler as Betty Ross. I was a little skeptical about Edward Norton, but he made a good Bruce Banner) but because it was like watching the pages of comic book come alive, like watching all those animated shows of HULK. While the Ang Lee version was a more intellectual and emotional approach to the story, this movie is simple and true to the characters. The beauty and beast love story, which according to me is the essence of the incredible tale, is more prominent in this movie. Sure there are lot of differences from the original story by Stan Lee, but it hardly bothered me as I watched the big green hero smash up all in his path and clash with the mighty Abomination. As opposed to Hulk(2003), this one was befittingly titled The "INCREDIBLE" Hulk.
Incredible Hulk= Incredibly Incredible
posted on 28 Aug 2009Remember Ang Lee's 2003 Hulk? Well we can all forget that film now. This movie sure hit the spot for a Friday night. First of all, Norton pretty much dominates any role he is in, after all; he was a crazy Nazi turned goodie in American History X, a schizo in Fight Club, and a complete psycho in Primal Fear. He fills his role as Bruce Banner with complete control over the part. William Hurt has been one of my favorite actors ever since I saw A History Of Violence, and he keeps me entertained in this movie. Liv Tyler at times seems a lil bit too emotional, but believable just that same. I've heard some people on IMDb bash Tim Roth for his part in this film, but I don't see why. Some say he was supposed to be an insano nutcase in this movie. I loved his part and his subtle cruelty and demeanor. To me, he is not the perfect Emile Blonsky, but he sure is close to the best.The action scenes in this movie aren't held back or exaggerated. Not like in Transformers when there was so much going on you couldn't see anything. This movie honed in on everything without crowding the shots. One of my favorite parts about this movie is that the Hulk is mean looking. I hated the Ang Lee Hulk because he was really smooth like and comic-book looking. This Hulk is mean green, with veins popping and ripped muscles showing, with some cool hair and an awesome ROAR!. The Abomination was well done too, but I don't want to give much away about him. Another little thing that I noticed that I really liked was, when the Hulk or the Abomination run, it looks as though its actually just somebody running, its so damn real.No real spoilers in here, and I have nothing to bash about this film. Well actually I do, I don't like Mr.Blue. His cocky, ignorant, comical behavior is not suited for this movie, which in a way relates to Batman Begins with its more serious mood. Nine out of ten stars for a great job by the cast and crew, lets hope the sequel kicks ass. One last thing, don't stay after the credits, there is nothing there.
Hulk smash through box office
posted on 28 Aug 2009For me, The Indredible Hulk will always hold a special place in my mind as the best superhero movie of 2008, mainly because some of it was filmed in my neighborhood, and I got to meet Producer Gale Anne Hurd, and third time director Louis Letterier. 2008 was a big Summer for superheroes, (Batman, Iron Man, Hell Boy and Hancock) but this one is my favorite. Although it was never intended to be a sequel to Ang Lee's film, this one does in a way pick up from Where 'Hulk' left off. Bruce Banner is an American fugitive hiding in Rio from the government trying to cure himself. Circumstances force him to return home to Washington where he reunites with Betty Ross, who helps him flee the military and her father, General Ross. Their quest to cure him takes them to New York where Banner meets his match in the Abomination. Hulk must become the good guy in order to stop it.Just as it was not intended to be a sequel, Letterier's approach was also not intended to be a brilliant movie, it was created simply to entertain, and it certainly does. Ignore the stupidity and you'll have a lot of fun.
You Will Like Him When He's Angry
posted on 26 Aug 2009Second time lucky for this marvel character. The first outing much hated but slightly underrated was if I'm being honest a little disappointing. Then it's no surprise that this surpasses it in almost every respect. "You wouldn't like me when I'm… hungry!" Bruce Banner mumbles in mangled Portuguese at the start of this all-or-nothing stab at reanimating the DOA Hulk franchise.Delivered to a bunch of gringo-hating factory workers at the Rio bottling plant where the fugitive scientist is working undercover, it's the first indication of the bold new direction French director Louis Leterrier (The Transporters 1 & 2, Unleashed) wants to take with what is, for all Universal's protestations to the contrary, Hulk Part Deux. Out go Ang Lee's comic book panel-replicating visuals, his ponderous art-house sensibilities and those long, lingering close-ups on his stars' anguished features. Instead, his successor does something very different – he brings the funny. Whether seeking out elasticised trousers in a Mexican market or trying to keep his cool in a speeding New York taxi cab, it's a tactic Edward Norton seems more than happy to run with. As both leading man and pseudonymous co-writer (a sign of a mooted dispute with Leterrier and producers Marvel over the final cut), the Fight Club actor has more riding on this than anyone else and responds with what may be his most appealingly quicksilver performance to date.It's hard to imagine anybody making a runaway boffin poisoned by gamma radiation trying desperately to contain the raging id within even halfway credible. But Norton somehow does, implicating us in his protagonist's Jekyll-and-Hyde dilemma while gently tipping the wink to its essential ludicrousness. (If you're unconvinced, check out the scene where he apologetically desists from coitus with Liv Tyler's Betty Ross lest it escalate his heart rate and bring on a transformation.) All of which creates an unusual problem: The Incredible Hulk is at its most entertaining when the Hulk himself is off-screen. Bring him on and the picture becomes spectacularly average: a bland CGI extravaganza which pits Banner's green alter-ego (leaner and more sinewy than the original's bulbous Gumby) against hi-tech military hardware, exploding fireballs and a fellow pixellated mutant to increasingly numbing effect. The last of these, the much-vaunted Abomination, is the movie's deadliest WMD, facilitating as it does an extended smackdown on the streets of Harlem that gives the film its set-piece climax. As with the Hulk, though, he's much more compelling in human form, Tim Roth evincing a snarling ferocity and feral machismo as the carnage-craving commando who lives for the fight. It's telling that the single most exciting sequence – a breathless foot pursuit through Rio's cramped, vertiginous favelas – has not one fantastical bogeyman in sight.After all, who needs computers when you have two of the greatest actors of their generation going hell for leather in one of the most geographically improbable locations on the planet?Better than Hulk? That's a given, especially with Norton and Roth leading the cast. When they give way to their CG replacements, though, Leterrier's film loses the very elements that lift it out of the ordinary.
in a word 'amazing'
posted on 26 Aug 2009not only was this film great but it is one of the best marvel films ever made. This film was one of the best superhero films i have ever seen as well as Ironman. What a twist at the end of this film where we see TONY STARK aka IRONMAN. Will we see HULK and IRONMAN battle in a sequel? i hope so. I completely recommend this film to anyone who loves marvel or superhero films. WATCH IRONMAN BEFORE YOU SEE THIS FILM...it plus it is a lot quicker to get in to unlike the old HULK film in 2003 which i still enjoyed and the special effects in this are fantastic especially Hulk and abombination, i thought that the hulk in 2003 looked great but this is so much better.
Hulk smash
posted on 26 Aug 2009Its a really really good movie, it has really great acting Edward Norton was the perfect bruce. all the actors were good for the part except the bad dude. he's cool and all but he didn't fit in the part. the grafics were much much better than the old hulk. thank goodness i saw this movie i almost lost faith in the hulk but this movie revived him with a vengeance. If you haven't seen this movie your either broke or just plain dumb. You can not "repeat" can not miss this movie. Please do yourself a favor go watch this movie. If your an avengers fan you must watch this it is one of the building blocks to the greatest movie ever The Avengers.
A fun summer flick!
posted on 26 Aug 2009I always had concerns about how good this movie was gonna be. One thing for sure, it's more entertaining than the first. But it is not a great superhero movie (Iron Man was more rounded). But it's not really fair to compare it with Batman or Iron Man. Hulk is a far less complex character, so it was always going be hard to make a great movie on him. There are some cheesy & unexplained scenes, but not enough to hurt the film too much.However, there is enough in this movie to make it a good 'popcorn' flick. I liked how they did not rveal the Hulk fully till later; showing him through shadows was cool I felt. Norton was convincing as always, & there is some subtle humor here & there. The CGI is really good for the most part of the film, and the final fight was awesome (beats Iron Man's hands down). Abomination was a really cool adversary, & I hope to see more of him (yup a spoiler!).Overall, an entertaining summer flick.
Finally a Hulk movie to be proud of
posted on 26 Aug 2009I know I have been probably a year late in posting my review for this movie but I honestly didn't feel I couldn't post a review for it till I watch it again. Despite being a financial success TIH had the misfortune of being released amongst other Superhero movies, The Iron Man and more famously The Dark Knight. I saw Ang Lee's Hulk in the cinema and it left such a bitter taste in my mouth that I refused to see the Ed Norton version. I later caught TIH on DVD and regretted the fact that I didn't catch it on the big screen because in my opinion it is far far better.In my opinion Ang Lee's version was a ponderous mess that should have been less talky and had more action. Another criticism I have of Ang Lee's version is that in my opinion they overcomplicated the story, instead of being just about Bruce and his battle to cure himself they tried to link it back to his father whilst TIH is far more simple.After the critical backlash Hulk received it does look the producers learnt their less. Hulk in my opinion waffled on quite a bit whilst TIH is more to the point. For instance we see the gamma radiation accident in the opening credits so we skip right to the action whilst Ang Lee's version took up at least half an hour before that even occurred. TIH boasts of some good action sequences and a fine story to back it up. Plus Ed Norton is a far better actor than Eric Bana. I love how it toffs it cap to the TV show, Lou Ferrigno and Stan Lee both have special appearances and Bill Bixby is seen on TV and there was an instance where they used the music from the original show.My only criticism of TIH is that they didn't show enough of The Abomination and felt they only included him so that Hulk could fight him at the end and give the audience a thrilling ending. In my opinion TIH is head and shoulders above most recent superheroes movies(Fantastic Four,Spiderman 3, X Men 3 etc).
Green is in!
posted on 22 Aug 2009No one can be Bill Bixby, no one should try. I saw Eric Bana in Hulk and was supremely disappointed. Let's see, where to start? I can understand that with the technology we now have all those larger than life comic characters can really come to life. The show did not have the use of such and so relied on a really big green guy and a great actor. IH tried for both, CGI with a touch of human. I think Hulk tried to make him too big, too sensational and too GCI looking. I like that IH didn't use a pretty boy (not to take anything from Eric) but rather an average Joe. I think they worked really hard to create an atmosphere closer to that of Bixby and his team. Hurt stepped way out of his comfort zone to put on a superb show. Liv and Roth did their part to make a movie worth watching over and over but the dark horse was Dr Stern. Tim was only on screen for a few minutes but his manic not as good as I look performance should turn heads for future projects.
You cant beat this Hulk
posted on 22 Aug 2009I've read probably a few thousand comic books in my life, and seen pretty much every animated series and movie made. Spider-Man, Hulk, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Batman, Iron Man, Avengers, Silver Surfer (one of my favorites) just to name the tip of the iceberg. Even those not familiar to your average Joe like the Electra comics or Wolverines. The problem is, that most people commenting badly on this movie are probably those average Joe's who did not read a lot of marvel's when they grew up. Let's get some misunderstandings out of the way:- There are multiple stories of The Hulk, for example one where Bruce Banner gets to be the Hulk when he's exposed to radiation at the testing facility (after trying to save a kid who just happens to be walking around there) and there's the story where he's testing on himself. Besides this difference, there are many other differences which I wont go into right now. So people who comment on a wrong turn of events which isn't coherent with the comic books they read, they should've read more comic books ;). Personally, when they announced the "incredible" Hulk was coming to any theater near me (and you) I was exited since the Incredible Hulk was one of my favorite versions.- Then there's the category of people claiming the story wasn't good or that it was just an action packed movie. Well what did you expect when watching the "Hulk"? Entering 'Hulk' on dictionary.com gives you as one of it's definitions: 4. A bulky or unwieldy person, object, or mass. That should help you better understand this movie isn't about the story: it's all about the action!! (and that's great)- There are those who say the casting was bad. Of course that's just your taste but I really really really can't think of a better casting than this one. Edward Norton is a GREAT actor (Fight Club) who did a great job playing the Hulk. He's the only person I can give some comment to: Bruce Banner isn't a nerd but he's not exactly good with the ladies so that was a little bit off the mark. But the role of Betty or her father were excellent choices, they really remind me of the characters from the comic books. And if that isn't great I don't know what is. I mean it's so hard to find actors who resemble some drawings!- Finally, there are people actually comparing The Incredible Hulk to other marvel movies, like Iron Man in terms of action or story. This is just like comparing an apple to ehm....let me think what's very different from an apple?....oh I know!...an airplane. That's right, you CANT compare it and if you do, you're just showing everyone you don't know anything about Marvel/DC.Now we got this out of the way, let me tell you why I personally enjoyed this movie. As I've said, I like the casting. I don't know how, but the casting of almost every Marvel and DC movie is GREAT. The only movie they didn't do a good job in, is Spider-Man. Peter Parker is NEVER as nerdy as the Harry Potter who plays him in those movies and Mary-Jane Watson is way cooler than the character in the movie (who looks drugged throughout the entire movie). Besides the casting, the references to the comics, which only the fans would understand, are really good. The purple pants, the 'Iron suits', Stan Lee drinking that bottle of juice, Shield, Avengers, the Cave (you often see the Hulk reclining in a cave in the comic books), etc etc etc. I'm already looking forward to "The Avengers". I mean they referred to that in Iron-Man ánd in The Incredible Hulk...I wonder how they'll depict Captain America. Going on to the set-up. I really liked those comic like set-ups you had in the 2003 version of the Hulk, with those split screens during conversations for example. So I kinda missed those in this movie, but the setup was still very good. It's wonderful to see them summarize hundreds of comic books into one movie. And the way they tension in this movie was build up in this movie is perfection. The CG of this movie is just, outstanding. The way The Hulk looked in this movie (remember the scene in front of the cave with the lightning and rain? Oh and the fighting is just magnificently realistic) was just WOW. No non-marvel movie has THAT kind of CG quality...NONE. So in conclusion, this movie is a must see. When you're not into Marvel I advise you to find yourself a Hulk-free cave and read up before watching it, to enjoy this movie even more.I was going to give this movie 9 out of 10, but since there are people who gave this movie less than 9 stars, I have to make up for their mistakes.
Marvel Heaven!
posted on 22 Aug 2009At last, Marvel have stepped in and taken the reins of the production of their films. With Spider-Man 3 lacking the class of the previous film and X-Men 3 the same we are treated to the same roller-coaster ride we seen in Iron Man. Ed Norton is fantastic as the beleaguered Bruce Banner and in my opinion resembles the troubled David Banner from the TV series, superbly played by the late Bill Bixby. Liv Tyler is class as Betty Ross and is always capable of delivering some emotion and feeling into her parts. Bruce's experiments toward a cure and the military's involvement because of the planned super soldier programme is all in line with the upcoming Captain America story. Abomination was in the movie long enough so not to take from Bruce's plight. A clue of what's to come is hinted at when Bruce smiles at the end and his eyes light up green! The Tony Stark cameo at the end capped it all and gave us a clue of what's coming, and a brief reminder that there's some tie ins on the way!! In all, well done Marvel and keep them coming!
Terrible Movie
posted on 22 Aug 2009Realism gets thrown out the window completely. I wasted $7.50 and 2 hours of my life. I can only hope this cancer known as a bad movie does not infect other movies, unfortunately Iron Man could be in trouble. I am still trying to figure out why Bruce was so afraid of a few drops of blood getting out, when he openly did heavy spit-swapping with the scientist chick. I think her name was Betty. I don't care. I feel infected with the Incredible Hulk. The Hulk was bad 5 years ago, and some things haven't changed in 5 years. And why does the Hulk always scream like he's Mufasa in the Lion King. The Hulk is a green beast, not a roaring lion. Save yourself while you can. This movie made me angry. And you wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
Best Marvel movie yet!
posted on 20 Aug 2009This film is amazing! You can actually tell that the director, Edward Norton, and Tim Roth are fans of The Incredible Hulk unlike most Marvel films. The Incredible Hulk is such an underrated comic series, I would probably say Bruce Banner is the one of the most emotionally intriguing characters in Marvel. So what is your favorite Marvel film to date? X-Men? Spider-man? Iron Man? Well I'm a fan of all of those mentioned but I would say that The Incredible Hulk is better than the ones mentioned because it stays true to the comics/TV series. X-Men and Spider-man had lots of problems that I won't get into right now, and several are saying that Iron Man is the best Marvel movie now. Well, Iron Man may perhaps be the most "fun" film, but due to The Incredible Hulk having more interesting characters, great cinematography, and a great score make this an epic masterpiece. There are so many things in the film that made my inner-nerd geek-out, including cameos by the late Bill Bixby, Lou Ferrigno, and Stan Lee. I also loved the use of "The Lonely Man" and "Hulk Smash". The cast was also amazing in this...I believed that Edward Norton was a scientist on the run, that Liv Tyler and him had a past together and believable chemistry. I believed Tim Roth was an aging mercenary that was power-hungry and wanted to find the fountain of youth, and that William Hurt was a corrupt General...but to him Hulk is the bad guy. William Hurt totally gets into character here as always, he doesn't look or sound like himself, crazy.
It isn't easy being green...
posted on 20 Aug 2009Ed Norton may well go down in movie history as the only character to be less handsome than his monstrous alter-ego in this film. A hulk this brute may well be, but he's a rugged, strong-jawed fellow with a sensitive nature lurking just beneath the rippling green muscles...The Incredible Hulk is pretty good as far as Superhero movies go, but I can't help wondering why Norton felt it necessary to apparently change so much of Zak Penn's screenplay given the latter's track record in superhero screen adaptations. Whatever the reason, the first half of the film, in which the story explores the lonely, wretched existence of the fugitive Bruce Banner is quite involving. Unfortunately the film's second half, which concentrates more on the cartoonish elements of the character's adventures, is not quite so engaging and, in the final confrontation, it is numbingly obvious that all we are watching is two cartoons duking it out.The cast here is also pretty good for a superhero flick aimed at the teens, even though Norton, Hurt, Roth, et al, often appear to merely be going through the motions. Nevertheless, if you're in the mood for some undemanding entertainment this will fit the bill nicely.
Incredible Enough
posted on 18 Aug 2009I've never really been a fan of The Incredible Hulk, and Ang lee's was definitely not my cup of tea. From what I had seen of this movie in the previews it looked like it might just redeem what Ang Lee had hoped to do. I think it did exactly that. It was entertaining, and action packed. The overall look of the Hulk was not cheesy like I found the other movie to portray him as.I thought the story was better, although I did find myself getting bored with the love story, and then again in the end fight scene. It had it's points of humor, and Norton was great. I would recommend this movie to someone who likes action movies. The very end scene is worth waiting around for.
Bigger, Greener, and Back With a Vengeance
posted on 18 Aug 2009Going in thinking that this film would be a sequel to the first one, I was happy to say I was mistaken. What the first one lacked, this one surely fulfilled. Most of the reason that I believe that this did better was not adding characters that would only be fillers to the film. In this film everyone had a purpose and they did not over step that by adding twists and turns leading you to the wrong direction. Edward Norton is not too bad as the Hulk and plays a troubled hero quite well. Liv Tyler is a great actress that did provide a few comic moments for this film. While I did believe that this film lagged in some areas, it did have a plot and purpose. The CGI was awesome and the Hulk probably looked more as a hero every time he appeared. Though he was feared at first, society finally looked past the green exterior and saw compassion. By that, we see a different side of Hulk and welcome him as a truly incredible being. If you really want to see why the Hulk stands out as a superhero, than I would highly recommend this film.
Hulk SMASH!!
posted on 18 Aug 2009While people were on the verge of giving up on the green rampaging giant, The Incredible Hulk surpasses its previous effort by sticking to its original format: giving the Hulk a reason to smash, and bash, without disappointing the viewers with head-talk & melodrama that Ang Lee established in the last one. The movie is action-packed, fun and never looses its momentum; it's quite a surprise to see myself yelling and screaming at the screen each time the Hulk is ripping out army tanks, tearing through cars and smashing the pavement in anger. I cheered all the way from beginning to end; I've haven't done that in years. Edward Norton is Bruce Banner, who is a fugitive from justice. He lives in refuge, trying to find a cure for his affliction, and each time Banner is in distress; your eyes widen, awaiting the moment he transform into the rampaging Hulk, who'll beat the crap out of anything and anyone who stands in his way. General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross (William Hurt), the father of Banner's ex-girlfriend Betty (Liv Tyler), is trying to track Banner down and bring him to justice, while trying to create a super-soldier bad enough to bring his alter-ego down. The man's name is Emil Blonsky, a Russian-English operative played by the Tim Roth, who is stellar playing this dark & charismatic super-bad ass. Emil is given an option to help General Ross find Banner, and if Banner gets out of line (or transform) Emil will be tough enough to battle him once he's given a serum that'll make his job much easier. The serum is a like super-villain's version of "steroids"—only to have a much more dramatic side-effect. The more Emil becomes stronger, the more he's turning into the evil-version of the Hulk, called: "The Abomination." Now Bruce must try to use the Hulk to fight off his adversary, who runs through the streets causing chaos, but that's when the fight scenes take place, and its one hell of a fight to see, I'll tell yah. A lot of canons from the 1970s TV series of the same name are inserted here: the lab which Banner normally uses to test experiments, while giving Lou Ferrigno a guest spot as the voice of the Hulk.What's the biggest surprise is Liv Tyler, though she's unlikely to play Betty Ross, she gives a surprise performance, and that's because she's finally given a role where she has to try her best—even though this is nowhere near, "The Lord of the Rings." Replacing Eric Bana, Edward Norton comes as no surprise; his entire career is based on playing the "tormented" and "troubled" types; so he's good where he stands. Marvel is finally getting their act together. This is not just a movie that'll please the fans, but it's enough to please the general audience. It's an action-packed extravaganza that'll be a "smash" to watch.
The Incredible Hulk incredible movie
posted on 30 Aug 2009The incredible Hulk opens its way as one of the best action movies of the season. With a completely new adaptation of the movie combining parts from the comic and parts from the 70's T.V. series, the film comes full of action and adventure, a good story of love and even some humor moments. It was like an adrenaline shot right to the heart. The CGI and special effects are really great. We can see a more realistic, more human Hulk, of course that they still can make it better. The movie is full of references of the Marvel Universe like the brief appearance of Tony Stark talking about The Avengers. The cast is awesome, all-star actors and actresses like Edward Norton with a flawless performance, it's like he was born to be Bruce Banner, the character really fits him, Liv Tyler in the role of Betty Ross is great so sweet and cute. Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky a.k.a Abomination was the perfect villain and William Hurt give a convincing performance as General Ross. the brief cameos of Robert Downey Jr. Lou Ferrigno and Stan Lee were a great add to the movie. In conclusion, this is by far a better Hulk movie than the one of 2003. Enjoyable, entertaining. One of the best movies of the season.
