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 went into the theater still skeptical (primarily due to the 2003 version). They needed to do something magic to make up for that and on top of that I didn't expect near the same quality of movie as Iron Man. Walking out of the theater I went into the theater still skeptical (primarily due to the 2003 version). They needed to do something magic to make up for that and on top of that I didn't expect near the same quality of movie as Iron Man. Walking out of the theater I had an overwhelming sensation that The Incredible Hulk is better then Iron Man. After a nights reflection I stand by that, put simply Hulk > Iron Man [however in not all respects]. While RDJ near perfect role as Tony Stark is marginally better then Edward Norton's Bruce Banner, the Hulk is a far more impressive superhero then Iron Man. The fights in both their scale and frequency blow Iron Man out of the water. For fans of Marvel comics (like myself) the cross-overs just add to the experience. We get two Tony Stark references, subtle references to Captain America, a reference to The Avengers, and a possible set up for the Hulk and Wolverine's encounter at the end. Needless to say Marvel has hit two home runs this summer with movies, if you enjoyed Iron Man, you owe it to yourself to watch this movie, even if only for the 2 min ending featuring Tony Stark.

I thought it was really good (I saw it at a pre-release screening). It's very clean and well-done, but some of the acting is a little flat (hence the 9 out of 10). If you liked Iron Man, you'll like The Incredible Hulk.

Although Iron Man was a step above in wits and cleverness, this movie is a keeper itself. Watch this movie. Seriously. Expand

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

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 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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Incredible Hulk is a great movie and an MCU Movie I feel like this is the most underrated MCU movie out there I don't have really any issues this movie is different from the regular MCU movie which I thought was better, to be honest, I like everything about this movie the characters are great Hulk looks amazing my fav he was looked even with the other hulk in the MCU that I really don't like Bruce Banner is amazing the other Bruce Banner I hate I like the couple in this movie with Bruce Banner and Betty I like the whole military thing they have going on the general wants to use it as a weapon and Bruce is not trying to let them have it the only one thing I dislike is Abomination I think he did that for no reason to become that for what to wreck the city nice idea? I did like the end fight I just don't like Abomination in the movie sadly all round an underrated MCU movie I wish we had this hulk and Bruce Banner in the MCU movies sadly we don't still have an underrated movie so I give The Incredible Hulk an A- Expand

This movie did not disappoint. No more abstract fights and a lot more direct action. Enough inter-play between characters for the audience to feel for Bruce Banner and Betty Ross. But ultimately - it's a "Hulking Smash"

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

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

It finds a superb balance in portraying an angry-man-hating Hulk and also a caring, misunderstood one, although it does lacks a bit of needed dialogue in the early stages mind. 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. If you can ignore the odd daft bit then you've a fine film to enjoy. Expand

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

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

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.
