Hulk Smash!

Rating: 7/10 (18 June 2008)

And smash he does. Let me first off say that anyone expecting intelligence, a sophisticated plot, and well-developed characters should look elsewhere, because The Incredible Hulk has none of those things. However, those hoping to see some exciting action, a touch of romance, and a lot of the big green guy tearing sh** up will find this very enjoyable. This is a pure matinée popcorn flick, the kind that Ang Lee's 2003 movie should have been but wan't. And in that respect, it is great! In terms of a hero movie, The Incredible Hulk probably isn't as satisfying as, say, Iron Man or Batman Begins, but it's up there. I for one am relieved to have finally seen a faithful adaptation of the Hulk. Let's face it, he's not that complex of a hero. He gets mad, he throws a tantrum, he smashes things. Your inner little boy will be grinning. Enjoy.
