a "Hulk" Hogan biography would have been more entertaining.....

Rating: 4/10 (3 August 2008)

CGI effects are good, and what you would expect them to be to date, better than the original Hulk film due to technological progress. That's about the most positive thing that I can say about this film.
The bridging between action scenes progressed very slowly. The plot failed to interest me and therefore did not hold my attention. Edward Norton, a fine actor, should have declined the starring role. Liv Tyler needs to get some acting lessons, ASAP, her pretty face will not carry her through forever. William Hurt as the nefarious general, good actor, his talents wasted here. Tim Roth, in my view the best actor in this whole project, seems miscast as the human version of Hulk's nemesis.
Just how many bullets and rockets are going to be fired by the military before they figure out that they have no effect on the Hulk or his nemesis?? I guess the oxymoron 'military intelligence' holds true here. Despite the 'havoc' scenes in this film, plot, screenplay, execution fell well short of my expectations. I don't think that it was better or worse than the first Hulk film, just different.
I went to see this at the budget $2. theater and I'm glad that I did, particularly after the disappointment of Hellboy 2 which I saw at the expensive, fancy theater this past week. This will be a halfway decent DVD rental for those who enjoy the genre.
