As expected...

Rating: 7/10 (10 July 2009)

Recap: Bruce is on the run. Desperate to keep hidden from the military he has fled abroad. At the same time he covertly tries to solve the riddle that he has become and rid himself from his curse. But his refuge is not to be long, and soon a team is on his trail, once again forcing The Hulk to appear. Banner returns to the States to cure himself, and in that process reconnects with Elizabeth Ross. But soon the military is upon him again, this time with a new weapon, a new threat.
Comments: The Incredible Hulk contains absolutely no surprises. No twists or turns, no hidden agenda. But then, who expects that when sitting down to watch this? You get exactly what you want. Unlimited action. Special effects enough for a lifetime. A full pace from the first to the last minute. I guess that is what most expect out of this, I did anyway, and I wasn't disappointed.
However, there is a drawback to this. There is little time to develop the characters. Little dialog that really develops the story. But that is not really needed, as most of us has at least a rough idea of his history and character, and if not what is needed is provided in a 0nicely done flashback introduction.
It is an entertaining piece. Recommended for fans of the Hulk or fans of action movies. A little confusing though that it is mostly independent from the recent Hulk from 2003, with new actors in every role, the only remaining actor I think is Stan Lee and his cameo. Even if new, the cast is both well known and very good. Norton, Tyler, Hurt and Roth in the main roles. They all gives solid performances.
But all in all this is a movie that delivers what it should, nothing less, but not anything more either. It is something to watch and forget and I was about to rate it at a 6. But then there was the ending. Really the end after the end, a scene that just as well might have appeared after the credits, I would have placed it there anyway. That elevated it all, actually. SoÂ…
