Hulk.... Smash!!!!

Rating: 9/10 (14 June 2008)

This movie was awesome! For those who think this movie to be a sequel to Ang Lee's 2003 The Hulk... think again. This movie is a reboot, and a freakin good one too. The Incredible Hulk is more or less progressed with the story, not the characters. Edward Norton is far better than Eric Bana as Bruce Banner a.k.a. the Hulk. Liv Tyler is not bad as Bruce Banner's girlfriend, Betty Ross, but for some reason and I don't know why, but I like Jennifer Connelly as her in Ang Lee's version better. Tim Roth plays a good bad guy, Emil Blonsky a.k.a. Abomination and the William Hurt plays General "Thunderbolt" Ross, who isn't half bad at the part. Bruce Banner has been on the run for five years and he lives in South Americ, trying to find a cure for what turns him into the big, green, fighting machine. The U.S. Army finds him and he has to go back to the United States to find the cure. He meets up with his old girlfriend Betty and they go to this scientist who Bruce had been talking to on his computer so he could help him find a cure. Emil Blonsky, after going up against the Hulk twice for the U.S. Army, wants to become as strong as he is. After Bruce and Betty are taken away in a helicopter, the scientist, Dr. Samuel Sterns who becomes the Leader, a villain, in the comics, injects Emil with the same stuff Bruce has in him. Emil becomes Abomination and he and the Hulk fight in a battle that is full of smashing and punching and kicking and more punching and so on and so forth. The action scenes in this movie are some of the best I've seen in most comic book movie adaptations. The story may not be all that great, but this is definitely a movie for action film lovers to go see.
