A pleasant surprise.

Rating: 8/10 (21 June 2008)

After seeing Iron Man and really enjoying it, I was a little apprehensive to see another Hulk after the disaster from 2003 otherwise known as Ang Lee's Hulk. This one has better acting, a faster pace, and really good special effects that fit perfectly. Edward Norton is very good, again, as the famed scientist Bruce Banner, who gets mean and green when he gets angry. Liv Tyler is also very good as the damsel in distress, Betty Ross. I thought their scenes together were just as good if not better than the ones between Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst in the first two Spider-Man movies. As for the action sequences, they go on a tad too long for my taste, but they look great and are not done over the top. Hulk really looks realistic, as does the Abomination. And, of course, as is being advertised, the ending leaves fans wanting more and salivating for a movie about The Avengers. After the great success of Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk, I can honestly say I am ready to join them.
