The hulk has been redeemed

Rating: 9/10 (13 June 2008)

I just got home from the midnight showing of the hulk, and I must say, despite a lot of fears ( because of the 2003 "movie" ), I was extremely impressed. Edward Norton played the role of Bruce Banner beyond perfect, and I don't think it would be an easy role to play. Also, despite the fact that I can't stand Liv Tyler because she sounds like she's perpetually having an orgasm, I thought she did a fantastic job as Betty Ross.
The acting: I thought that the acting was superb, except for a few lines by William Hurt that just weren't quite believable, but absolutely nothing to complain about.
The plot: Extremely predictable. Then again, it's a superhero movie. I wasn't expecting a storyline that made the godfather look pathetic. The story was still immersing, and each character was introduced and developed quite well.
The filming: Excellent. My personal favorite shot was an overview of some mountains with a thick mist settling over them. Every scene with hulk is shot so that you get a good look at the big guy, but don't miss what's going on around him, and it's all done without showing you the view from every single camera on the set ( just some more complaining about the 2003 version ). The final fight is filmed incredibly, then again, its hard to make a fight between two 10-foot monsters look bad.
In conclusion, I highly recommend this film to any superhero fan, and also to someone not so fond of the genre. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
