Incredible Movie

Rating: 10/10 (29 June 2008)

I got so mad when I went to see this movie on opening weekend because a blackout came and ruin everything. I left the movie probably half way and I was irritated. There was no way that the movie will start immediately so everybody left and obviously with their refund. The theater was close for a few hours so I knew I had to come the next weekend. Then comes next weekend and I still had in mine that I was going to watch about 30 minutes into the movie again, but I didn't care, it was a great 30 minutes.
I was hoping this hulk movie to be more action-packed than Ang Lee's The Hulk. I wanted a true hulk movie and close enough towards its comic book. That's what the original didn't have and that's what The Incredible Hulk has.
The Incredible Hulk brings a new everything to the big screen; cast, director, story, etc. This time, Edward Norton (Bruce Banner) is in South America (Brazil) trying to find a cure for the gamma radiation that destroyed his cells and turns him into a totally different person when he is irritated and angry. Meanwhile, William Hurt (General Thunderbolt Ross) is on Banner's tail when he finds out that Banner is in Brazil. All hell breaks lose when Thunderbolt Ross brings a pack of U.S. soldiers to capture Banner. Things then get even uglier when a new powerful monster known as The Abomination causes chaos on anybody who steps on his way.
I really like the beginning of the movie because it was short and sweet to the point. It explains the events that happened in Bruce Banner's lab incident in seconds. Unlike Ang Lee's The Hulk when it probably took 30 or more minutes to explain the whole thing.
The new cast did an amazing job in the movie, especially Edward Norton. He did a great as Bruce Banner. Before, I was not sure if this was the right choice, but now I'm definitely sure it was. I also thought Liv Tyler gave a good performance as Betty Ross. She gave a solid performance as I expected. Tim Roth and William Hurt did their job too. Roth did great as Emil Blonsky.
Besides the story and acting, I thought the action and special effects were incredible. The action sequences between the hulk and military were amazing, but the final battle was so damn fun and great to watch. I totally think the Abomination and hulk fight should win an award for best fight.
Overall, The Incredible Hulk is one of the best superhero movies of all-time and I'm sure hulk fans will not be disappointed.
