Undeniably Better than the Hulk from 2003 BUT...

Rating: 6/10 (27 October 2012)

...it wasn't great either. Sure it is well-made, competently directed, even well-cast. Edward Norton, in my opinion, makes a very credible Bruce Banner. Liv Tyler is gorgeous and CAN act. William Hurt and Tim Roth are slices of ham so thick that I thought the film's waist would explode from indigestion! Yet, both retain one's interest. The movie is much more faster paced than the Ang lee film. The CGI effects are much better as well. Look, this was a pretty decent film overall. Despite the new cast and director, the movie was a lot like the Ang Lee film. Some of the scenes were almost the same which when you look at this film director's work - we are now talking about Louis LeTerrier - he seems to do cinematic do-overs more often than not(he also directed the new Clash of the Titans!). That being said - the new film offers what the audiences wanted - an updated version to replace what many saw as a travesty. Now, we have it. This was a necessary step in getting us to The Avengers.
