Incredible Hunk

Rating: 6/10 (21 June 2008)

I knew that this movie would be on the same lines of Iron Man, Spider man etc. with the latest hi-tech visual effects; just for the change of having one more hero on the big screen doing incredible things, I went to see Incredible Hunk.
Dr.Bruce Banner (Edward Norton) is experimented on plasma cells by US defence to develop super - HERO soldier out of humans; things go wrong  and Bruce becomes an incredible huge monster and escapes the lab. The experiment leaves a pattern to Bruce's behavior  that whenever he gets angry he turns to an incredible hulk. The US defence is out to get him back. Emil Blonsky (Tim Roth) is so fascinated while seeing, facing and fighting the Incredible Hulk  that he wants to be one. The result is - he becomes a Monster Hulk, and in the end, Incredible Hulk fights the monster Hulk to save New York City. Betty Ross (Liv Tyler) plays the love angel of Bruce.
There is not much to the movie except the incredible action sequences and fights. They are a treat to enjoy on big screen. Edward Norton is okay, Tim Roth is better as a villain and Liv Tyler  whenever she comes on the screen  distracts the attention by her big upper lip. I had mentioned in my earlier review that she might have done plastic surgery or botox; there are many who think that way  but we do not know for sure; and would not be interested to know. The fact is that whatever her acting  her lips are a hindrance to her acting skills  if she has any. Coming back to movie This is Director Louis Leterrier third movie after Transporter 2. He has done good job to raise the bar from a B-grade movie to at least an A-grade look. The cinematography of Brazil Rio de Janeiro is breath-taking and wonderful.
Overall it is a good and better adaptation of the comic novel and previous film. With possibility of Iron Man joining hands with Incredible Hulk  we would wait for that movie next time.
Go and see it if you are an action movie or Super-human type of the movie addict. You will enjoy it.
