Nothing special, but decent.

Rating: 7/10 (12 June 2008)

I've just come back from seeing it, my verdict. Good, not quite as good as Iron Man but still pretty decent and definitely better than Hulk 2003. Edward Norton was great and a better Banner than Eric Bana, Tim Roth also made a great Villain, and I thought Liv Tyler was on par with Jennifer Connely.
The script was good and the story wasn't dumbed down too much like I thought it might've been. There's depth to the character of Banner and the way they made him a fugitive on the run in search of a cure brought it closer in tone to the series.
The cgi effects I wasn't overtly impressed with even though they are cool, the hulk didn't look anymore realistic to me than he did in 2003. It was good to hear him speak in this one, especially as Lou Ferrigno provided the voice, just like he did in the 90's cartoon series, but I thought they could have let him talk a bit more to help give him more of a personality. They certainly tried to make him a lot more scary in it with his animalistic growling etc and he does make the previous version seem tame in comparison.
The action was at it's best during the end battle between the hulk and the abomination, it was quite quite long and the most exciting part of the film.
The thing I liked best about it, being a fan of the original series was the references, they were quite a few of them.
Although overall not a perfect film, it's still quite satisfying and more entertaining than the previous Hulk film.
