Hulk good but I was looking for more

Rating: 6/10 (1 July 2008)

I think that it is telling that the follow up to "Hulk" had a different Bruce Banner, a different Betty Ross, heck even Hulk was different. Without a doubt "Incredible Hulk" was markedly better than "Hulk", but that is not saying much. I gave "Hulk" a three rating, so this one was twice as good.
There was definitely better action in this one. The aggressors/bad guys Hulk fought were more worthy and had more to offer which made the action sequences a lot better. I think the '03 Hulk color and image was good enough without making him grayer with more muscle striations as they did in the '08 Hulk.
I still wasn't incredibly impressed with the overall product. Maybe because Iron Man preceded this movie, or maybe it just wasn't great, but I thought the movie could still be better. The story was too generic and didn't offer much, plus the bad guy was too contrived. Betty Ross detracted from the story and after Spiderman, I'm getting sick of affection in the rain. Plus, the damage and fights weren't creative enough. Sure cars were tossed and structures were destroyed, but I was looking for more ingenious fight scenes such as the small glimpse when Hulk tore the police cruiser in half and used it as boxing gloves. I may be greedy, but I still was looking for more.
