A more accessible and less heavy-handed movie than Ang Lee's 2003 HulkLouis Leterrier's The Incredible Hulk is a purely popcorn love affair with Marvel's raging, green superhero, as well as the old television series starring Bill Bixby as Dr. David Banner and Lou Ferrigno as the beast within him. Edward Norton takes up where Eric Bana left off in Lee's version, playing Bruce (that's the character's original name) Banner, a haunted scientist always on the move. Trying to eliminate the effects of a military experiment that turns him into the Hulk whenever his emotions get the better of him, Banner is hiding out in Brazil at the film's beginning. Working in a bottling plant and communicating via email with an unidentified professor who thinks he can help, Banner goes postal when General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross and a small army turn up to grab him. Intent on developing whatever causes Banner's metamorphoses into a weapon, Ross brings along a quietly der!anged soldier named Emil Blonsky (Tim Roth), who wants Ross to turn him into a supersoldier who can take on the Hulk. The adventure spreads to the U.S., where Banner hooks up with his old lover (and Ross' daughter), Betty (Liv Tyler), and where the Hulk takes on several armed assaults, including one in a pretty unusual location: a college campus. The film's action is impressive, though the computer-generated creature is disappointingly cartoonish, and a second monster turning up late in the movie looks even cheesier. Norton is largely wasted in the film--he's essentially a bridge between sequences where he disappears and the Hulk rampages around. As good an actor as he is, Norton doesn't have the charisma here to carry those scenes in which one waits impatiently for the real show to begin. --Tom Keogh

Average Rating:
Rating: - Better than the first Hulk movie
Overall, I was more impressed with this film than the first "Hulk", though they seem to be quite similar. Aside from Ed Norton and Liv Tyler taking over for Eric Bana and Jennifer Connelly, it's still just a movie about the origin of the Hulk and Bruce Banner's quest to reverse the effects of his mutation. Lots of good action and a bit of humor. Compared to other recent Marvel Comic-based movies, I didn't enjoy it as much as Iron Man, but it was much better than Spider-Man 3. It was worth a purchase ... Read More
Rating: 
- A Blu-Ray with a green case?Yep.
I fall in the middle with this one.The movie was good for me, not great, but good.I'm glad that Abomination was finally introduced, yet the CG form departed too much from the great comic renditions out there.Edward Norton is a better Bruce Banner that Eric Bana was, yet the CGI of Hulk is still missing something.Blu-Ray features are OK, but you can also get them on DVD.The BD Live feature is a yawn.
Bottom line, only go for this if you're a Hulk fan and the price is below $20.
Rating: - Good action flick
Can a movie with Edward Norton in it ever really be bad?Norton does an excellent job of bringing heart and soul to the Hulk in this film.The love story between him and Liv Tyler is touching and tender, mixed in with the edge of your seat action scenes. I especially liked the scene on the glass bridge where he emerges from the smoke into the Hulk.
This is a must see movie.
Rating: - FUN MOVIE!
The great special effects make this a fun movie to watch for the whole family. If you like The Incredible Hulk comics then you'll love this movie. But even if you've never heard of The Hulk this action packed flick will take you for an entertaining ride.
Rating: - More Like "The Adequate Hulk"
Incredible? I wouldn't go that far, but this Hulk is pretty good.
More of a big-screen adaptation of the TV series than a sequel to 2003's "Hulk" (which I also enjoyed), this new "Incredible Hulk" cleverly pays homage to the enduring performances of Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno, as well as to the overall asthetic of the TV show (the classic "Lonley Man" tune, for example). The human performances are excellent, particularly Ed Norton's, who was born to play troubled nerd Bruce Banner. Unfortunately, ... Read More
