The Incredible Hulk (2008): Dir: Louis Leterrier / Cast: Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, Tim Roth, William Hurt, Ty Burrell: Not a sequel to the 2003 film but a different take on the huge green monster scientist Bruce Banner transforms into once anger sets in. He is tracked down by military who wishes to subdue his power. Director Louis Leterrier does well with a decent screenplay that bares similarities to the Ang Lee version yet details additionally elements that work every bit as well. Edward Norton plays Banner who struggles to control his rage. He is sought after by the Army until a freak accident has him on the run. Years later he is discovered at a bottling plant after his blood accidentally enters a bottle. He must learn to control his rage and master this condition. Liv Tyler is no Jennifer Connelly and her demeanor throughout becomes increasingly annoying especially in her constant crying out of his name. Ty Burrell as her boyfriend is a pointless addition to the cast as well. Tim Roth plays a soldier who injects himself with the same substance used on Banner. He will mutate and engage in a thunderous battle against the Hulk. William Hurt as Ross's military father jeopardizes his relationship with his daughter while on pursuit of what he perceives as the villain. His drinking scene in the conclusion gives way to a great cameo. As good as the 2003 version sustaining its hulking effects. Score: 9 ½ / 10
