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.

One of Year's Best

The Incredible Hulk may not be the darkest comic-to-big screen adaptation yet, but it may be the best mixture. It's a true psychodrama that touches on the depth of the human psyche but still delivers great comic book type action. It's everything that the 2003 version wasn't but should have been. It gives us a human element to which most anyone should be able to relate and manages to convey the Hulk as a hero and Banner as a truly tortured soul. Believable choices delivered by an exceptional cast. The large action spectacles make this film but the small character touches elevate it. I also love the homage to Lou Ferrigno and Bill Bixby's TV Hulk, not just the cameos but the man on the run tone. The action was as good as advertised and the CG worked better then I had hoped. These strengths make it more than your average wham-bam action flick and make Incredible Hulk one remarkable movie.

A More Perfect Hulk

Action packed and kinetic. This one maintains a better pace than the first one. The first attempt tried to be very cerebral and focus on the inner workings of the characters, forgetting to put in some real action. Here, that has been rectified.

The action is very well done and the effects of the Hulk character are about as realistic as you could expect a giant green man to appear.

However, a couple of the fight scenes -- particularly the last one between the Hulk and the Abomination -- are filmed a little too close to really be able to easily follow the action.

Other than that, this one is great. Here's hoping Marvel moves forward with the same love of their characters as they produce their own movies.

What a different film the BD is...

I wish I could explain eloquently how changed I am about an opinion on a film. Watching the BD is experiencing an entirely different and much better movie.

Technically, this is a 5 star product. I played it both on plasmas and LCDs over the last few days and it looks excellent. Paused well over 50 different scenes (motion and still scenes) and everything looks as it should for what they were trying to create. The filmmakers held an exclusive BD screening to show off their special effects and their pride in how the fx came across, so the resulting look is reasonably solid. The usual Universal menus and selection sounds are throughout, and all of the typical BD features are enabled/possible here.

The resounding difference here are the deleted scenes. There are over 42 minutes of all the best parts left for us to interject back into the film. The reason I did not give this a 5 star is they should have made the choice to have the BD be the 2 hour 35 minute cut. The majority of every gripe I have heard about this film is answered or fixed with these scenes. Christina Cabot (Major), Ty Burrel (psych boyfriend), and Peter Mensah (the other General) all had their characters ripped to shreds with this theatrical cut. There was actually a good side to Roth, there was actually tons of character development; all apparently cut (in my opinion) to dumb down the film. What a waste.

Be sure to have your speakers adjusted correctly because this sound mix can blow a sub or mids if you have them set to high. Great sounds, great clarity and plenty of features. Highly recommend as a purchase, and the only shortcoming is on the director for giving a 3 second intro to the deleted scenes that stated nothing of why he destroyed this film by cutting them.

Okay version worth seeing on cable

I would agree with other reviewers who said this Hulk version is better than the last Hulk movie. However, unfortunately, for me this was a forgettable movie that was only mildly entertaining.

I'm a huge fan of Edward Norton's work, and of course Liv Tyler is wonderful. The acting was fine, but the story was just okay. I never really felt very invested in the characters and I was mildly bored through much of it. I also found it predictable at times.

The special effects were well done, but without a story that really pulled me in all the way, I walked out of the theater feeling unsatisfied. Frankly, nothing I've seen comes close to the old TV series, and that was without all of the special effects. It featured good stories, solid writing and believable acting. I'm a big fan of special effects, but this movie seems to be trying to get by on them along with some big name fine actors.

Watching it once was plenty for me, and I'm the kind of person that will watch a good movie over and over.
