Darkest, most intense Marvel movie

Rating: Null/10 (15 September 2011)

Edward Norton seems unsatisfied. With dialog consisting exclusively of oneliners, you can not define or build any kind of character. Given nothing to work with he's right in acting bored, so is the rest of the otherwise potent cast, each of them trying to coop with the situation in their on manner. Everyone is playing some generic character that they played before, placing this movie into a generic universe inhabited by generic people doing generic stuff. Which is a pity, as otherwise this is a rough, intense action spectacle with a truly incredible, brutal Hulk. The beautiful, mature cinematography is easily the best of any Marvel flick and the CGI is mind blowing, incarnating the Hulk in exactly the form, he deserves to have.
2008 was a good year for comic book fans, with Ironman, the best Marvel adaptation so far, and Hulk, a merely adult try on the genre, Marvel seemed illuminated, promising a darker, more mature, more intense, more human direction for their upcoming line of movies. Unfortunately, rather then working more in this direction, Disney seemed to have turned the wheel and as things look now, Hulk is going to stay the darkest and roughest feature that Marvel is willing to put money into. Mothers are not willing to take their five year olds to this kind of stuff, that's bad for the business, I get it.
So "The Incredible Hulk" feels a little bit like the incidentally created monster itself and comic book characters are not yet to enter the adult world like they would deserve.
