You wouldn't like me when i'm hungry....

Rating: 8/10 (3 October 2011)

We find scientist Bruce Banner, living in shadows, scouring the planet for an antidote.
But the warmongers who dream of abusing his powers won't leave him alone, nor will his need to be with the only woman he has ever loved, Betty Ross.
Upon returning to civilisation, the brilliant doctor is ruthlessly pursued by The Abomination -- a nightmarish beast of pure adrenaline and aggression whose powers match The Hulk's own.
A fight of comic-book proportions ensues as Banner must call upon the hero within to rescue New York City from total destruction.
One scientist must make an agonising final choice -- accept a peaceful life as Bruce Banner or the creature he could permanently become...
For a comic book movie, the film usurps the original by miles. Norton is great as the sympathetic character, and brings more life to the role than Bana did.
The film is more focused om the action point of view, rather than Banners troubles, and it's to the films credit. Roth and Hurt are sublime as the Hulks potential captors, Hurt especially putting much more life into the role that Elliott did a good job with.
Set pieces are stunning and the hulk himself is seamless. The final battle between Hulk and Abominationis spectacular and very exciting.
The lack of chemistry between Nortonand Tyler is a bit of a letdown, as is the ending.
When we see Hurt in the bar as he meets Stark, this feels that it should have happened after the end credits, it would have been more fitting to see Banner supposedly getting possessed by Loki and then then finish.
Leterrier has done a fantastic job of recreating the hero, with lots of nods to the marvel universe and the history of the Hulk, it's the marvel film that isn't as prolific as the other Avenger spin offs, but one of the most fun.
