My favourite Hulk

Rating: 7/10 (29 November 2013)

I'm not a Marvel fanatic, but I enjoy the genre generally as good entertainment. However, this one has Ed Norton (an awesome actor) and Liv Tyler - beautiful and talented. I love their chemistry together and Ed Norton is by far the most believable Hulk. I like the CGI and SFX in this and whilst they are cartoon-ishly overblown in places it's all appropriate as it's Marvel. Tim Roth as the adversary is good; because he's not a normal and obvious choice for an action anti-hero, but then nor is Norton. Liv Tyler's gentle way is a perfect choice and believable as the subject of his undying love.
I like that Hulk, is a love story as well as hot action. It is tender and moving, and also funny. There's lots of physical humour, and the Hulk - although suffering with serious anger management issues - is likable and really rather cute.
You'd expect this sort of film to be just for the boys but there is plenty for (non-fan-girl) girls too. That said, there are also plenty of comic references for die hard fans to enjoy. Marvel aside, it's still a good fantasy/sci-fi film. I have to ask though, what is it with mad scientists?!
