Album Description
The Incredible Hulk (2008) kicks off an all-new, explosive and action-packed epic of one of the most popular Super Heroes of all time. In this new beginning, scientist Bruce Banner (Edward Norton) desperately hunts for a cure to the gamma radiation that poisoned his cells and unleashes the unbridled force of rage within him: The Hulk. Living in the shadows - cut off from a life he knew and the woman he loves, Betty Ross (Liv Tyler) - Banner struggles to avoid the obsessive pursuit of his nemesis, General Thunderbolt Ross (William Hurt), and the military machinery that seeks to capture him and brutally exploit his power.

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

Customer Reviews
Great in blu-ray! Good CGI.
I thoroughly enjoyed the blu-ray version of "Incredible Hulk". The colors were outstanding, great audio, and very good CGI. Edward Norton played the part well, but I feel the Hulk should have looked more like him. The blu-ray colors were so vivid, I needed to lower the color saturation on my TV. Good, entertaining movie. Highly recommended.
BRING ON THE SEQUEL!
The Incredible Hulk is another take on one of Marvel Comics' favorite hero.
Having been a big fan of the 70's TV series, I find this film much better than the 2003 Ang Lee version which was seriously flawed and almost put me off from seeing this version lest there be further disappointment.
Edward Norton and Liv Tyler have truly outdone themselves with their performances, which are outstanding to say the least! They give it their 100% and it really shows (the chemistry is AMAZING)! The rest of the cast carry out their performances well though nothing extraordinary.
The setting, the plot, the dialogues, the special effects (!!!) and the music are all wonderful!
In short, The Incredible Hulk is a movie definitely worth watching and one to seriously consider adding to your movie collection!
Strongly recommended along with the 70's Incredible Hulk TV series. 4.5 Stars
Good Christmas Present
This was a Christmas present for one of my younger brothers. If it has action, explosions, action figures or superheroes, he's GOT to have it, and "The Incredible Hulk" fits the bill.
