Not as comic book epic as the first Hulk movie, but Edward Norton is a class actor and he had two great adversaries/actors to play off from. This is more about about cool character interactions than a good overarching story for sure.

Acting is terrific from everyone, especially from Ed Norton (Bruce Banner) and Liv Tyler (Betty Ross). Ed Norton manages to play with finesse different types of sequences that make us feel empathy for his character. The cast really is interesting, even if there are very few characters to get in touch with.

The scenario is great, as the introduction helps us to understand the events of the prequel. The whole movie is well-paced, paved with intense action intertwined with touching (even if one-dimensioned) romance. As a Marvel movie, it tries some jokes, but they always match the atmosphere, some being very funny.

The soundtrack is as terrific as the sound-design, and the movie rightfully uses moments of void and silence (as in the last scenes) to underline the most important scenes.

The quality of special effects vary : some scenes are amazing (particularly the explosive ones) while others (at the end notably) aren't that inspired. It goes the same way for colors and lighting as some shots are very dark or just plain disgusting grey. Fortunately to me the lore and relations between characters do the work.… Expand

If there is one thing that Lee's film succeeds better in, it is the visuals, don't get me wrong they are very stylish here but the ones in the 2003 film were slicker even if The Incredible Hulk is bigger and brasher. This said, the cinematography and editing are great and the locations and lighting look fantastic. The music rouses, the story compels most of the time and the dialogue provokes both in a thoughtful and emotional way.

I do think that director Louis Letterier brings a lot of passion into the film, especially with the use of the form of street running called Parkour that he also used in The Transporter. The action sequences are suitably thumping, with efficient choreography and slick editing. The romantic elements are handled in a shrewd manner in alternative to the danger of slowing the film down, and thankfully there is no underdeveloped and convoluted subplot like Lee's film did with Nick Nolte.

The first half though in a sense is better than the second. The second half is in no way bad, it's that the first half was very clever and compelling, and although you do identify with the titular character all the time and the finale is earth-shattering the film loses it a bit with the rather clichéd way the villain Blonsky is written and that his motives are not always very clear or as believable as they had potential to be.

Casting-wise The Incredible Hulk is excellent. Edward Norton brims with intensity but he is also sympathetic. The Incredible Hulk also succeeds in making a real sense that Banner and the Hulk inhabit the same tortured mind, which made it much more accessible to identify with him, something that Lee's film did not do. William Hurt is appropriately steely as General Ross, Liv Tyler is attractive and the essence of sympathy as Banner's girlfriend and although his character is not as believable Tim Roth does somehow manage to bring some credibility to him.

Overall, a very solid film, not perfect but better than the 2003 film by quite some distance. 8/10 Bethany Cox… Expand

'The Incredible Hulk' is closer to being forgettable than it is to being memorable, but that's not to say I didn't have a solid time watching. It's only really the ending that I felt dragged, yet even then it still has positive moments.

I liked Edward Norton's performance for the most part, particularly early on in South America. Tim Roth is good too, though a few of his scenes irritated me slightly - perhaps more to do with how the film uses him, rather than what Roth does himself. There are a few others, but those two are the most standout.

I did expect more, but there's enough there that I rate.… Expand

It's a complete story filled with great character interactions, awesome spectacle, and hard-hitting, but limited, action sequences. And although Edward Norton's performance was a one-off, he does an admirable job at bringing conviction to Banner. The eventual recasting of Mark Ruffalo, and the bleaching of the film in general, makes it such a strange movie. The ending, while somewhat reference in later Marvel endeavors, feels wasted and Dr. Samuels, aka Leader, feels even more-so.When recapping the entire saga, this is the single film that feels utterly awkward to view, despite the complete script.… Expand

This film is objectively better from a technical standpoint than itsWhat could have easily been a mediocre and all-too-familiar origin story turned out a really fulfilling cinematic experience thanks to straight-up good filmmaking. This film is objectively better from a technical standpoint than its predecessor, Iron Man. Cinematography is done artfully and carefully with lots of attention to pleasing compositions and meaningful movement and framing. The locations, environments, lighting, and weather are all used to great effect to give mood to the film's various situations and arcs. The score by Craig Armstrong, one of my favorite film composers, enriched each scene with appropriate energy and emotion. The performances of the main cast were convincing. I really felt the connections between the characters and the emotions of the characters. For a film that's relatively light on story, it really makes up with it with pleasing characters, visuals, and action. The action scenes were thrilling and handled particularly well, much more fun to watch than the action scenes in Iron Man, as these are more carefully planned and coreographed, with some truly surprise moments. I found there were moments of sheer awe and horror in the brutality of The Hulk and his fights with the menacing villains. I was even kind of surprised to see later parts of the film take on the feeling of a monster movie, evoking feelings of Godzilla, Cloverfield, and others of that genre. It worked very well and helped us feel the surrounding characters' fear of the "monster" they'd created in Bruce Banner. Great movie. I'd watch it again. It has a few weaknesses, namely every moment involving Mr. Blue, who gave a rather grating performance. There are a few moments that feel rushed, or forced, or cheesy, but all-in-all for such a simple story this film worked really well for me. I'm sad to see Ed Norton didn't keep the role, because I highly prefer him to Mark Ruffalo for this character.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Hulk goes into the second round! This time, the broken scientist is played by Edward Norton. The successor of Eric Bana and Lou Ferrigno gives Bruce Banner a certain vulnerability and acts more human than its predecessors. It's just not a parade for Norton. Norton is coming for me completely under-challenged. With this reorientation of the comics Hulk, all the main characters were exchanged. Betty Ross is now played by Liv Tyler. Tyler doesn't really fit into the role. Her charisma comes more naively over and the prehistory with Bruce Banner, one does not look at her. Also General Ross was now taken over by William Hurt. Like his predecessor Sam Elliott, Hurt also has a good screen presence and costs it completely. The main opponent is Emil Blonsky this time and is played by Tim Roth. Although Roth is motivated by his role, and he also sees that he is buckling, he also seems a bit stunted. One could have afforded more freedom for Roth.
The director's post took over this time Louis Letterier. Letterier relies more on action and effects than on figure drawings. His predecessor Ang Lee had rather told it as a romantic comic book fairy tale. Although Lee was rather lengthy in his history, Letterier is rather superficial. My favorite scene is when Hulk hits Blunsky for the second time. Blunsky says dry: Is that all? And you can see that in this version a bit: Is that all? Was that all? Conclusion: Better a few effects less to work out the screenplay better!… Expand

Let’s fast-forward things back in 2008,when Marvel was riding off the heels of Iron Man’s success and the fans’ mind-blowing reaction to the post-credit scene of Nick Fury introducing the Avengers Initiative.
After everyone saw IronLet’s fast-forward things back in 2008,when Marvel was riding off the heels of Iron Man’s success and the fans’ mind-blowing reaction to the post-credit scene of Nick Fury introducing the Avengers Initiative.
After everyone saw Iron Man,everyone didn’t know where the Marvel Universe would go,so hearing the news of another Hulk movie was both great news and terrible news,since we know what happened to the last Hulk movie (also because Hulk is owned by Universal and stuff)…. And that’s where we had “The Incredible Hulk”,a movie that promised us a new version of the Hulk (and a refresher from 2003… Ok,I’ll stop).
But if we’re going to see if it’s any good or not 10 years later (kind of astounding how it held up by itself,honestly),let’s see if it still holds up or not.
So,the story. To understand the story,technically you’ll have to see the 2003 Hulk movie by Ang Lee (I guess,which if you don’t want to,glad they retell that for the new viewers in the title sequence) to get some explanations of what’s going on in the beginning of the movie (when we’re introduced to Bruce Banner’s life),but,cutting that flaw out,the rest is interesting to look at. We understand why Bruce Banner (played by Edward Norton) is having a troubled life with the military,his love for Betty Ross (played by Liv Tyler) and his anger/excitement issues that lead him to becoming the Hulk,as the title says. Even if in the end,he realizes that no matter what he does,the city still needs him,even if he’ll SMASH his way through everything.
Speaking of that,at the same time,in the 3rd act,we’ll get introduced to the villain,Abomination (played by Tim Roth),where I’m kind of mixed. Look,his actions are not really understandable: He’s a Professional Soldier,he gets angry after he got beaten by a kick from Hulk,then he gets crazy and crazy as the movie progresses,him and his creepy CG’d out body (he gets the Super-Soldier serum,so that’ll better explain something…),then he becomes the Abomination just so he can kick Hulk’s butt. It’s not horrible,but it feels like the writers saw a Videogame Rage Compilation and thought “What if the angry player gets his revenge on him,and actually wins?” to just get away with it. Back to Bruce Banner, his relation with Betty is really sweet and Edward Norton plays a “scared,always on the lookout” Bruce Banner expertly.
Tim Roth is intimidating as Abomination and Liv Tyler was basically ‘Jennifer Connelly from Hulk 2003’ 2.0,since her lines are told in this weird,coff-y and muted tone,and a scene involving a Taxi Driver driving like if it’s a Car Chase (that was outta nowhere…). That,and the scene where Hulk throws a rock through the storm to defend Betty cracks a laugh for me. Sorry,but it’s just me.
Now,for the Special Effects...as of today,they look like the perfect Nintendo Switch videogame,ported by Panic Button. But,for 2008 standards,this felt serviceable. The action was fast and frenetic,and the Motion Capture was nice.
And yeah,the score is still another “Marvel Score where you’ll remember the theme and its action cues”,but it’s one of the better ones,being composed by Craig Armstrong (he also composed The Great Gatsby).
So in the end,I think The Incredible Hulk is an underrated MCU Movie that fans don’t necessarily have to go see now. Maybe for a fun time. And hey,it being a Universal movie from 2008 was kinda surprising since it has better qualities in it than Cash World Fallen Profit.… Expand

Some better than Ang Lee version with several Easter eggs and winks to TV series of 70s. If it has a defect or two, it´s the hasty start sequence and the short sequence dedicated to villian. For kill 112 minutes with the less of pain.

I enjoyed the action and fighting in this movie. I found some parts boring, and other parts awesome. The CGI wasn't great, which affected the story. Overall it was pretty good.

The viewer cannot help but think the film had much more potential when it's over. The Incredible Hulk, to be quite honest, probably deserves an overall score of a 7, but I myself have always been a fan before being a critic, and The Incredible Hulk delivers just enough for me to not only give the film an overall score of 8, but also purchase the film of Blu-Ray. This underrated film is definitely worth watching in your spare time!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This film is a massive improvement over Ang Lee's less-than successful attempt to bring this character to the silver screen. This film has gotten some flack for not being as good as one of the best films in the Marvel franchise but it is still a good movie in its own right. One ingenious thing about this film is that since it is a reboot of the previous Hulk film, they put the origin of the character in the opening credits which is something that I hope they do with the new Spider man movies since people are well aware of his origin. Edward Norton gives a compelling performance as both the Hulk and as Bruce Banner. The actor who plays General Ross fits his role perfectly as the no- nonsense military general. The story is what you would expect from the Hulk since it is about him running away from the military while fighting the Abomination played by Tim Roth. The final action scene was once again very entertaining with the protagonist fighting a darker reflection of him self. Unfortunately there are still some problems with this film that holds it back from making a great film instead of a good film. For instance although Tim Roth was an intimating villain his turn to evil wasnt really that convincing. At first it seems that he only wants to fight the Hulk because its his mission but than he turns evil in a snap because of the formula. There was also some buildup to a potential villain (either the Leader or Gargoyle) which never went anywhere and it will never be explored in any of the other Marvel movies. Betty Ross was also a bland love -interest. She is good at being the emotional support for Bruce Banner but I really didn't care for her safety that much. Despite those glaring problems though it is worth a watch especially for that POV shot when Banner tries to kill himself and later turns into the Hulk to spit out the bullet.… Expand

What seemed, in theory, the least-necessary revival of a bigscreen superhero emerges as perfectly solid summer action fare in “The Incredible Hulk.” Revisiting the character Ang Lee and James Schamus put under a psychological microscope inWhat seemed, in theory, the least-necessary revival of a bigscreen superhero emerges as perfectly solid summer action fare in “The Incredible Hulk.” Revisiting the character Ang Lee and James Schamus put under a psychological microscope in 2003 to mixed results, Marvel, Universal and several of the same producers have repackaged one of their better-known stable stars in a straightforward actioner that delivers the goods with no unnecessary frills or digressions. Happy to give the intended audience what it wants, this loud and quick-moving production will shake loose ample coin in all markets.

To anyone wondering why the Marvel team would so soon embark on a makeover of the growly green giant after all the angst endured on the previous one, the answer is provided by the final scene, in which the star of the most recent Marvel B.O. smash unexpectedly turns up to ask, “What if I told you we were getting a team together?”

New film thus marks the first step in the label’s plan to begin shuffling its major characters into films together, a la some of the comicbooks — a scheme that seemingly required the rehabilitation of the Hulk from something that came to be regarded as perhaps too rarefied, not of a piece with the studio’s other cinematic stalwarts.

Viewed in this utilitarian light, the new film gets its job done. It’s not especially exciting or surprising, lacking the cheek and sheen of “Iron Man” and the opulence and star power of the “Spider-Man” and “X-Men” series. But it’s better than the “Fantastic Four” pictures and “Daredevil” and manages to shift the title character from a hopelessly conflicted Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde to a wannabe good guy.

It seems that none of these Marvel-based films can begin with anything other than a medical experiment gone madly awry, leaving its subject with a drastically split personality. This one gets it over with pronto, after which scientist Bruce Banner (Edward Norton) hides out anonymously in a Brazilian favela while desperately trying to decontaminate his blood, eliminating the cells that can make him, if sufficiently incensed, turn into a raging, bemuscled, 9-foot screamer with disagreeably antisocial habits.

Keen to track Bruce down is Army Gen. Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross (a cigar-chomping William Hurt), who oversaw the experiment. He wants to bend the results to military purposes and sends mad-dog soldier Emil Blonsky (Tim Roth) flying down to Rio to snatch the elusive fugitive. Resulting pursuit is a partially parkour-style chase through the pinched passageways and across the roofs of the hillside slums that entertainingly recalls but doesn’t nearly match the flair of the opening sequence of “Casino Royale.” The Hulk makes his first kick-butt appearance in Brazil 23 minutes in, but is only partly seen, and in shadows at that.

Despite the manpower expended to bring him to heel, Bruce is able to make his way back to Virginia, stopping en route in Mexico to buy a pair of stretchy pants, which he rightly predicts will prove useful down the line. In the intervening six months or so, g.f. Betty (Liv Tyler), old Thunderbolt’s daughter, has taken up with a new guy, but she immediately drops him when her old flame reappears with major issues to deal with.

First and foremost, her dad wants to extract whatever’s inside him to augment the Pentagon’s arsenal (there’s no discussion of whether or not this super-steroid constitutes a chemical weapon). Second, Blonsky, who admires his adversary as “a whole new level of weird,” can’t wait to attain that level himself. After he volunteers to receive a dose, he’s able to compete with the Hulk up to a point in an explosive battle on a university campus lawn, but he’ll need more juice to have any hope of besting the green one in a street brawl.

Which is exactly what the showdown consists of. Following an interlude in which the Hulk takes Betty to what looks just like King Kong’s cave, both he and Blonsky enlist the services of an enthusiastic research doctor (Tim Blake Nelson in an amusingly over-the-top turn) to become battle-ready. With Blonsky transformed into a creature fully justified in being called the Abomination, they proceed, ripped and roaring, to lay waste to Harlem; that the finale would seem to be almost entirely a CGI-animated sequence will be noticed but not much minded.

Norton gives indications of perhaps wanting to go places with the role that remain off-limits this time around (he no doubt would have been happy teaming with Lee), but he’s kept largely on the straight-and-narrow, to decent effect. Tyler is no more or less memorable in the femme lead than Jennifer Connelly was in “Hulk,” while both Roth and Hurt happily underplay by a bit what might have been expected of them in their villainous roles.… Expand

The action sequences were done really well and I loved all of the little nods to the Hulk lore like the Lou Ferrigno cameo, the purple pants scene, the Stan Lee cameo, and the name of their old time friend "Stanley" being a nod to the creator. The plot also developed really well. The only negative was that the fight sequence at the end with abomination was a little anticlimactic. That fight is being hyped up the entire film and I just didn't think it was that great. Nonetheless, this was an outstanding movie and most people would enjoy it.… Expand

As a relevent part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Edward Norton plays the role of Bruce Banner very well as you can feel the connection between his depression and his constant attempt to control his emotions. Plot: Bruce Banner is a scientist who along with the American army attempts to re-create the super soldier formula that had transformed Steve Rogers into Captain America. The attempt goes haywire when he becomes so confident in it that he injects himself and becomes the rage filled Incredible Hulk. While hiding out in the favelas of Brazil, he contacts a mysterious source known as Mr. Blue in an attempt to find an antidote toward his unwanted transformation. In the meantime he struggles to control his anger to avoid causing innocent casualties and waking up confused and naked. Meanwhile the General Ross (William Hurt) of the US army attempts to capture Banner in an attempt to use him as a weapon. To do this however he hires an elite soldier Emil Blonsky (Tim Roth) who is ecstatic to capture Banner and will go to extremes in order to do this. Comparison to Hulk: This movie includes much of the same plot but is much more linear and realistic. Instead of unrealistic scenerios, The Incredible Hulk immerses audiences with its top notch CGI the seriousness of its military forces and its incredible ending. Opinion: One of the best superhero movies that really show audiences what Hulk is all about. Anyone who is interested in a realistic live action Hulk should totally view this movie, also anyone interested in the Marvel Cinematic Universe should check this one out.… Expand

However it definitely finishes strong with a top notch fight scene and the CGI graphics actually look great, with the end fight scene itself pretty damn cool and not the repetitive borefest which CGI usually spawns. All the scenes involving Hulk throughout are excellent in fact - no "it's obviously CGI" moments - and the film also cleverly intertwines into the plot the way that Hulk goes from being a raging monster, to more of a man-monster.

Who did an exceptional job as Bruce Banner, Norton had the right mannerisms that Dr. Banner had in the comic. He put the his obsession with getting rid of the Hulk, he put his strong love for Betty Ross and his hatred for General Ross in there too. But here was one thing they didn't put much effort into Norton's Banner, his genius.

Great movie. Loved the way hulk looks. Nice connection to the leader and i like the fact that hulk actually gets to fight an actual villain. Great Connection to Iron Man too.

It's getting there. If some one could take the best bits of the first and second film then mash them together... perfect. I like ed norton as Banner, but the thing I think HULK makers need to be concerned about is not what we want It's getting there. If some one could take the best bits of the first and second film then mash them together... perfect. I like ed norton as Banner, but the thing I think HULK makers need to be concerned about is not what we want (effects driven action film) but something emotionally powerful where we really, really feel Banner's pain so that when it does cut to CGI, we carry that feeling through. At the moment there's still too much disconnection between actor and CGI.… Expand

Many comments seem to be pitching this film against Iron Man, which is kind of unfair as they both have very different tones. Having said that TIK stands as a good solid companion film alongside IM, although it is the weaker of the two. Many comments seem to be pitching this film against Iron Man, which is kind of unfair as they both have very different tones. Having said that TIK stands as a good solid companion film alongside IM, although it is the weaker of the two. Norton makes a great Banner, Liv Tyler does some of her best standing about looking weepy (I'm being a bit harsh there actually), Hurt is good as always and Roth makes an interesting if unlikely baddie. One thing I couldn't quite get over was Roth's walk. In the scene with him and Hurt walking through a military warehouse I could not stop looking at the short swagger of Roth versus the upright military stride of Hurt. Letterier's direction is perfect for this film and while it's pretty mindless stuff, it entertains without offence, which is sometimes all you need from a film.… Expand

This movie has incredible visuals; making the hulk really look realistic. Choosing Edward Norton to take on this roll was perfect, Liv Tyler as his love interest and their chemistry is unreal. The storyline cannot be truer than any other marvel comic and ending the story with the opening of a branch of hulk-related movies. Although Iron Man was a step above in wits and cleverness, this movie is a keeper itself. Watch this movie. Seriously.… Expand

An action packed movie, filled with lots of excitement and drama. Also an amazing storyline and a crazy ending with the tie-in of Tony Stark. I recommend this movie to anyone that has some spare time, to go see it. You won't regret it.

I loved this movie. I watched Ang Lee's version again a few day before I saw this one and the older one sucked. Hulk himself looked goofy and cartoony because of how bright green he was. But in this new one, Hulk looked awesome. He knew I loved this movie. I watched Ang Lee's version again a few day before I saw this one and the older one sucked. Hulk himself looked goofy and cartoony because of how bright green he was. But in this new one, Hulk looked awesome. He knew what he was doing, he showed his true anger and he didn't jump like 3,000 meters into the air. The scene where he takes the gunship down was beautiful. The only reason I give this a nine is because at many scenes especially the beginning, your just itching to see Bruce transform into the monster and start destroying things. Amazing movie. (The end. Cool.)… Expand

The movie has also good camera angles witch improves the viewing experience. There is also much action, but not too much. I pay allot of attention to the music, Music compositions performed by Craig Armstrong fits in the scenes and sound effects gives the perfect balance between film and music. I also liked in this movie how the Hulk was 'borned'. In a series of flashbacks that are fast and it spares allot of precious time that was wasted in the first Hulk-film. The casting of Ed Norton for Bruce Banner fits visually in the movie.… Expand

The script is really short but the effects were a lot better, the hulk is a lot smaller which i really liked and the setting changed, Brazil was a nice touch, i really enjoyed it.

I enjoyed this film. but unlike so many I actually did enjoy Ang Lee's version a whole lot better. Norton Does a good Bruce Banner. He is a great actor. But I think Banna made that Character more complex. The action was great but a bit I enjoyed this film. but unlike so many I actually did enjoy Ang Lee's version a whole lot better. Norton Does a good Bruce Banner. He is a great actor. But I think Banna made that Character more complex. The action was great but a bit over the top in this film. while the HULK does look a lot more realistic then in the Lee version. I felt it still looked CG. Hey hwat do you expect right. we can't have Farrigno playing him at his age. I guess what i am trying to say is that there were more memorable action scenes in the Lee version in this one. Here we got a big final showdown at the finalle that recalls that of Iron Man. That is just my two cents. I did not hate it. just liked Lee's Version better.… Expand

I really enjoyed this... more than I expected. I thought Edward Norton and Liv Tyler were great and I really felt the tragedy of their situation. Waaay better than Iron Man in my book.

This was the perfect Hulk movie. They ALMOST got it right in the TV series (but the lack of a Betty Ross was the downfall). They got it totally wrong in Ang Lee's movie.

They got it totally wrong in Ang Lee's movie. This movie was perfect though. What people don't seem to understand is the Hulk is a tragedy. It's not supposed to be witty or funny. Many of the critics panned it for that. Iron Man is a fun superhero. Hulk is a tragic superhero. This was told stupendously by the Marvel filmmakers. The only problem I had with the movie was the casting of Liv Tyler as Betty Ross. Sure, she's pretty and could probably do the job with someone other than Ed Norton. But the two didn't have the chemistry needed to truly pull off the level of intense love these two characters feel for each other (a love strong enough to tame the Hulk). Oh, and to the reviewer who said it was too slow... which Hulk movie were you watching??… Expand

The performances are solid, particularly Roth's, who gives a slightly less evil angle to the character of Blonsky than other supervillains. The action is fantastic, and the CGI is much improved. Norton was a good choice to cast as Banner, and he grew on me throughout the film, but he could've been given a little more to work with. The story is a little slower moving, and it's missing a sense of humor, but overall a solid superhero film that will simply be seen by many as Iron Man… Expand
