Incredible Hulk Review

Ill start off by apologizing for not updating much, Ive seen tons of movies and played as many games since last update just have a hard time sitting down and typing all my thoughts, so I'll play catch up as much as I can with the coming weeks. So we will begin with....

THE INCREDIBLE HULK



I'll start off as I always do with the things I loved about the movie.



Edward Norton, looked the part with a more Bill Bixby type of Bruce Banner from the Hulk TV series, there were plenty of tributes and scenes straight from the TV series, including the opening, and several great cameos, as a fan of everything comics and movies it was goos to see all the little easter eggs.

The Hulk himself looked incredible, he was juiced up and ripped, straight from the comic pages, and they gave him both a voice and personality, which I really loved. He was more then an offshoot of Bruce Banner he was a character himself.

Now for the things that stopped this movie from truly being incredible, one of the elements that made Iron Man really stand out was the great supporting cast, sadly the Hulk did not show this, with a dull performance from Liv Tyler and William Hurt, as Betty and Thunderbolt Ross, two pivotal characters in the Hulks life, so it really made scenes with them not believable and just plain flat. Blonsky aka the Abomination wasn't as flat, but really didn't stand out either.

The action was Intense and filled with great choreography for both live action and CG characters. Lots of things get destroyed, the Hulk and Abomination really paint the city in that final fight scene. One of my biggest problems with the Transformers scene was that I couldn't see shit in the action sequences, but the Hulk manages to keep whats happening clear in all the fight and chase sequences, even at night time.

******************WARNING SPOILERS BELOW***********************







Tony Stark cameo should of been saved for the end of credits and not advertised to avoid the major disappointment of the crowd at the end, I already knew there was nothing there, but I always stay through the credits, mainly to give people time to clear out and to talk to who I'm with about the movie.

The Hulk was so nerfed in this movie, he got his ass handed to him and didnt seem to get stronger the madder he got, he was bleeding and all scarred up, when the hulk has faster Regen then wolverine. He should of got his ass beat then seen betty in trouble and just fucking wrecked the abomination, it was very anti climatic, and hope next time around he really kicks ass.
