Edward Norton sucked. No personality at all. How come this movie has such a good score I don't know. It's the worst movie I've ever seen. The choreography is awful. I don't care if this is a spoiler because you shouldn't ever watch this piling piece of crap. The only good part of the movie is the after credits scene because it introduces you to Hulk joining the Avengers. Don't watch this film. Please don't watch it. You'll want to kill yourself by the end of it. Expand

Edward Norton was the only spot of light. I don't get it... Ang Lee's Hulk was miles better as a movie, and actually had an emotional story and characters i could at least somewhat relate to. Is it that people's tastes have really degenerated so much that the majority prefer this ridiculously mediocre movie to the Ang Lee's version? Or are the majority of reviewers just kids who prefer it just because... well, it's newer... and Hulk says: "Hulk smash!" Either way, it's embarrassing. Expand

Igual de sosa y aburrida que la de 2003. Hulk sin duda es el personaje de Marvel menos interesante de todos, la trama es super previsible y hay muy poca acción. Un desastre.

The low rating is based on comparing this movie to Hulk 2003 which was truly about the Hulk, a character born of an accident with gamma radiation which unleashes suppressed mental trauma (quite violently). Leterrier's Hulk is a tribute The low rating is based on comparing this movie to Hulk 2003 which was truly about the Hulk, a character born of an accident with gamma radiation which unleashes suppressed mental trauma (quite violently). Leterrier's Hulk is a tribute to the 1977 series (i.e. Banner purposely exposes himself to gamma radiation to improve his physiology). Ang Lee's Hulk was a gigantic, disproportionate and child-like monster. Leterrier's Hulk looked a muscular man and moved like a character in Streetfighter. I'm sure the video game moves (and the weak-ass thunderclap) fascinated some people but I wanted to see the more of the Hulk's psyche exposed including a better symbiosis with Banner and waaaay more destruction when fighting a powerhouse like the Abomination.

How many times do you shoot Hulk with assault rifles until you realize the bullets bounce off? Oh maybe if I do a cartwheel over him and shot him with my 9mm that will do the trick. Worst of all this movie is filled with head scratching stupid decisions and plot devices that ruin what little moment it has. Even worse than Captain America. At least that had 20 okay minutes. When can we start making real movies again? Seriously. Expand

I liked Edward Norton as Bruce Banner, but it takes like 30 minutes for him to start doing any kind of hulking. And when he's not hulking, which he mostly isn't, the movie is either uninteresting exposition or a romance between Bruce and Arwen from The Lord of the Rings, who by the way sounds like she's having breathing problems every time she talks. The special effects also aren't that great and I had a hard time caring about any of the characters in the end. There are some fun dialogue scenes, but they are seriously lacking and definitely aren't enough to make me care to watch this thing again. Expand

The Incredible Hulk is easily and by far the worst MCU film so far. Nearly every aspect of this movie (story, plot, pacing, characters, CGI) is bad.

Nearly every aspect of this movie (story, plot, pacing, characters, CGI) is bad. Marvel chose Edward Norton to portray Bruce Banner but he failed to deliver. We now know that Mark Ruffalo was a candidate for the role back then, and later on he successfully replaced Norton in the Avengers movies. Despite some legal issues with Universal, it's no wonder Marvel haven't made another Hulk solo movie since, and all the actors never reprised their roles (except for William Hurt who recently returned to the MCU and his Thunderbolt character is very different in Civil War).

It's the worst MCU movie. This movie failed as a super hero movie and as a Hollywood movie. However, it's still better than some super hero movies that I don't want to talk about.

So for me there is no any solo movie for Hulk! Even the performance of each character was super-bad, except for Mark Ruffalo, the only Hulk who I really loved, but Edward Norton as Bruce Banner is totally unconvincing and bad! In any case, Edward Norton wasn't the only one who acted badly for me, more than 90% of the characters were bad too!
The story isn't about Hulk as I saw, it was about the love story between Bruce and Betty!
The CGI was totally bad, messy and didn't comfort my eyes at all!
Hulk wasn't INCREDIBLE at all!

The story is poor and boring, with some sh*tty CGI and some good fights.. with all of that, The Incredible Hulk was born and it's calling itself a movie!!!
The opening credits is totally 70'. It showed some stuff about Hulk, but not enough, Iron Man showed us the begging of Iron man, Captain America too showed some good stuff as a begging, but The Incredible Hulk showed nothing but some sh*tty scenes with a greed screen above the scenes!!!!

Bruce is trying the whole movie to prevent showing Hulk, so The Incredible Hulk most of the time is showing the life of Bruce not Hulk, and when Hulk shows up, I just see a very bad CGI green idiot in front of me!!!!

And of course the romance was terrible.. The only thing that I liked in this movie is the last 30 min of the movie, and thought, I barley could watch it, cause it went up and then to he bottom again and then the final fight, and then.. go home, you mothe*******!

One of the worst movies of all time!!

Here's the GOOD: I liked the first 15 minutes (the opening credits and the Brazilian sequence). I liked Tim Roth's performance. I am a huge fan of Craig Armstrong, who did the score, and this one was not bad. I'm a huge fan of Here's the GOOD: I liked the first 15 minutes (the opening credits and the Brazilian sequence). I liked Tim Roth's performance. I am a huge fan of Craig Armstrong, who did the score, and this one was not bad. I'm a huge fan of Danny the Dog, one of Louis Leterrier's movies (starred Jet Li). And of course I loved Robert Downey Jr's appearance as Tony Stark. And if you paid attention, the reference to Nick Fury in the opening credits was exciting. Here's the BAD: The movie was an embarrassment. How could I be suckered into this. All of my instincts told me that they were going to DUMB it down (to the same level as the Fantastic Four movies). And that's what they did. This movie is strictly for 5 year old kids. The action was so BORING. God, really I didn't care about anyone in this flick. Okay, so I wasted my money and 2 hours of my life. THAT is not such a big deal. But here's what DISTURBS me: We know Marvel has plans for an AVENGERS movie. AND they have plans for the CAPTAIN AMERICA movie. These are really important, and dare I say sacred properties... Are their plans to continue making lame kiddie flicks? or treat them with the respect they deserve? I love Captain America and I will have nightmares if the eff it up. I hope Jon Favreau directs both Captain America and the Avengers. He's proven himself with Iron Man. It would be a dream if Bryan Singer came back to do these but he's busy with the Superman movies. Well, at least we have this to look forward to: The greatest movie of all time is being released next month. Yes, that's Christopher Nolan's THE DARK KNIGHT. See you there. BTW, I loved Ang Lee's Hulk released 5 years ago. It would have been brilliant had he been hired for the sequel. I will have to pretend I didn't watch Hulk 2008. Expand

I don't get it. I thought this movie was terrible, and I thought Ang Lee's Hulk was great. Why does everyone think just the opposite? Besides not being as well directed or written, the CGI is far weaker.

Prior to this film, I had never gone into the theatre with lowered expectations for a film and walked out disappointed. This film was abominable. Any thinking or inquisitive person would only have one questioning thought throughout; 'how?' How does logic not touch upon the writer of this film. How do you go about making a film of paramount stupidity and not halt production to avoid the shame having your name in the credits of "The Incredible Hulk". I give this two points, one for each scene that works. This mindless dribble had my buddies and I laughing throughout. Skip it. Expand

More of the same.

This film seems to me to be a sequel to the film made in 2003 around the same character. However, apart from the characters, I was unable to discern any obvious connection between the two films. It is, for me, quite clear that, to be a sequel, it was made by others than the original actors and crew. When this happens, in general, the feeling of unity and continuity ceases to exist. And so it was.

In this film, Bruce Banner is a man on a mission: while remaining hidden from the American authorities, he tries as much as he can to find a cure or remedy for the genetic mutation he has and that leads him to transform. Interestingly, he is in Brazil, with no explanation as to why he is living in a favela in Rio de Janeiro, where a foreigner draws attention like an elephant in a china shop. Perhaps the director, Louis Leterrier, does not have a clear understanding of what these areas are like and how Brazil works. But we will continue ... and we will watch several attempts by the American army to capture Banner, which almost always end up in the same way: a lot of things destroyed and Hulk giving a brutal beating to the G.I.´s. The ending turns out to be easy to predict from the middle of the film.

Edward Norton is an extraordinary actor but he never seemed cut out for me to play this character, and I think he will have realized that himself later. Despite his talent, he never goes beyond average. William Hurt also looked very bad, in a cardboard villain that never proves to be credible or more than a walking cliché. Tim Roth was a casting error starting with the fact that he was not even American, or was able to disguise his accent. Liv Tyler was cold and unable to maintain good chemistry with Norton.

Technically, the film has qualities. Taking advantage of the large budget available to him, he uses and abuses CGI, special effects and sound, action scenes loaded with broken things and beating. Like the first film, the strong feature of this film is the pure and hard action, without any consistent plot. The result of this is a forgettable film, weak enough to not even be an option when we just want to spend some idle time.

After the release of Avengers: Infinity War everyone was getting hyped for Endgame. My board exams had just gotten over so I thought this was the perfect time to bingewatch all the MCU movies so that I could catch up by the time Endgame cameAfter the release of Avengers: Infinity War everyone was getting hyped for Endgame. My board exams had just gotten over so I thought this was the perfect time to bingewatch all the MCU movies so that I could catch up by the time Endgame came up. The very first movie I watched was Iron Man and it was so cool. So I had really high hopes with The Incredible Hulk. And it fell absolutely flat. There are many reasons why I hate this movie, so I'm gonna go one by one through all the reasons.

So first of all, since I was bingewatching all the movies of the greatest superhero movie franchise of all time, the only scenes that stood out for me were the absolutely fabulous ones. This is the reason why I'm easily able to judge which movies are memorable and which ones are not. This one had a very memorable starting, but afterwards nothing huge happens in it worth remembering. Stan Lee died because Hulk's blood fell in a bottle that he drank, some junkies in Brazil thrashed Bruce Banner and got beaten up by Hulk, Hulk ran from the police/army, Bruce was captured and tortured to make him angry, Hulk fought a creature which looked better than him but had the same powers. Yeah, that's all I remember from this movie.

Secondly, the quality this movie offered. I really liked Edward Norton. I have no problem with his role. In fact he looked more Bruce-almighty to me than Mark Ruffalo. But the CGI ruined everything. This is the reason why the movie felt like a drag to watch. Most of the time it was just talking, talking and even more talking. The volume was also very low so I couldn't even take any interest in the talking. There was even a sex scene where Bruce starts turning into Hulk so he gives up trying.

Thirdly the villain in the story was a lot more likeable than the hero, because of which I was absolutely certain in whom I should root for. And it was definitely not Hulk. The lizard dude was looking way better than Hulk. It's kinda sad that this is the only Hulk movie, but considering Hulk's enemies look better than him, there shouldn't be any more either. And lastly, the final result of this forgettable story. What did we get from this movie? It didn't progress the plot forward in any manner. It played very safe with the general superhero movie plot trend - Hero gets powers, tests them out, villain who has the same powers wants to take over the world, hero villain fight, hero wins, roll credits.

It seems weird thinking this movie is a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Because this one looks absolutely nothing like the otherwise colourful, vibrant, story-rich movies. I really wish Marvel remakes this movie by editing the colour grading, CGI, sound etc. Because without that, sadly, you really HAVE to watch this movie if you want to see the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
