The worst Hulk movie

Rating: 5/10 (28 April 2013)

Right out of the gate, it's confusing whether this is a sequel or a reboot of the superior Hulk movie which was released only a few years prior. That film was directed by Ang Lee, one of the best filmmakers working today. This movie aims lower, and in that regard, I suppose it's successful.
My chief complaint about this film is that there's not enough action. This is a Hulk movie. People watch it to see the Incredible Hulk go nuts and destroy everything in sight. This film has one brief action scene (on a college campus, where apparently no one thinks it's unusual to see an armored military squad roll onto the lawn and start shooting). And what an amazing coincidence that Liv Tyler's father is in the lead Humvee.
The other action sequence of course takes place at the end, and while engrossing, it's not enough to make up for the other 1 hour and 45 minutes of Ed Norton and Tyler. By far, the weakest link in this movie is Tyler. Her acting is wooden and not convincing in the least.
If this film was as good as everyone else here seems to think, then Marvel would have retained Norton for the role. They didn't. This film ends up being an ugly ducking and an incomplete story.
