A much better film... Let's forget the first.

Rating: 7/10 (29 July 2014)

THE INCREDIBLE HULK
Wow... At least they made a decent Hulk film this time. This film fixes everything that the last film ruined.
The story is 100% better. I'm really glad that this is not a sequel. This is a whole new film, you don't even need to even think about the original film. You don't need to worry about it being part of the story as this one just starts again.
This film has it all. Action, drama, romance, thriller... And the best part is there is not too much of any one thing. It is spread out really well.
I really liked the characters in this movie. You really did feel sorry for Bruce. He is always on the run. It is a well put together chase film.
The effects were mostly good. There were times when I thought the Hulk or the other monster didn't look very real, but it didn't ruin the fun of the film.
The casting was perfect. Edward Norton was a brilliant Bruce Banner. I was really disappointed to see he was not in the Avengers Assemble. Especially as there was an awesome little cameo at the end by the legendary Robert Downey Jr﻿. It tied it all up nicely for the big film. Other cast members were Liv Tyler, Tim Roth and William Hurt. Excellent job done by all... Especially Tim. His character was a power hungry, evil man... And it was played perfectly. I really hated hi throughout this film. He was scary.
Of course Stan Lee makes his usual cameo nicely. I do hope that one day he plays a bigger part. It would surprise everyone and it would be great. The other thing I really liked about this is the original TV series had a couple of nods of appreciation. The Hulk in this was voiced by the original Hulk himself, Lou Ferrigno﻿, and also he makes a cameo as a security guard. Nice touch.
I suppose I would like to have seen a little bit more Hulk in the film. It felt like there were long periods of not seeing him.
This is a very good film, entertaining and a lot of fun, but it's not the best comic book film out there.
I will give this 7 out of 10.
