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. Amazon.com: 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 Beyond The Incredible Hulk on DVD More from Edward Norton More Superhero Movies The Incredible Hulk on TV Stills from The Incredible Hulk (Click for larger image) Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Just an action vehicle, there's no meat on this Hulk I never had issues with Ang Lee's "Hulk" besides some minor ones with the silly dad-made-him story and the goofy looking flashbacks that seem to belong in an Oliver Stone film. More-or-less though, I liked it. The one problem, no sequel. After all, the point of the "origin" film is to set up at least two sequels, so you accept the slow pacing and the emphasis on how and why knowing that the set-up will pay off in the second film. But, what if there's not a second film? Now the "Hulk" is "Incredible" and they're correct, I don't quite believe it. I've read that Norton envisioned a longer, more emotionally complex film and the studios, in typical studio fashion, slashed and burned it. So what is left? While the new Hulk still looks a little too waxy on the skin to be alive (why is it only George Lucas can make completely CGI characters that truly blend?) his emotions come through better thanks to Norton acting out all the scenes for the animators (including a new, hi-def 3-D motion capture for facial expressions) and the result is a more engrossing Hulk character. Unfortunately he has little to do. The film is a simple, long chase. The only twist is that the person doing the chasing is an aging commando who wants a "gamma" induced boost, which he eventually OD's on and becomes a monster. The result is the obligatory clash of the titans, a destroyed NY city and a finale, almost. The films doesn't want to explain or tie up anything and that's a problem. ...

Nothing was wrong with packaging or shipping. Rating: - Better than Hulk. The Incredible Hulk is a better version than Ang Lee's Hulk which was released a few years ago. This particular movie is more lively and exciting but it is not a perfect action flick. Edward Norton and Liv Tyler make a lovely couple as Bruce and Betty and William Hurt is pretty flawless in terms of acting. Stan Lee makes a cameo apperance while Tom Roth once again steals every scene, he is truly creepy in this. Good solid movie with excellent special effects. Rating: - hulk it was fine i guess. i got my movie when it said i would get it, so no problems here i suppose.
