It's Incredible; Okay, it's not but it is pretty good.

Hello Everyone,

Went to see The Incredible Hulk today. I did have some expectations; I figure that it would be better than the earlier Hulk film starrring Eric Bana. It was better than the other Hulk film. It was very entertaining; not a great film, but entertaining. The problems that I had win the Eric Bana Hulk was that the writing was terrible (the climax at the end of the film with The Hulk fighting Absorbing Man who his father turned into [it was retarded]), The Hulk was too green, he was able to jump way to far [too a point way beyond realistic] and it was not entertaining enough [not enough explosions and fights etc]. The casting of the original Hulk film was fine. SPOILERS MAY FOLLOW.

Okay, the new Hulk movie. Edward Norton was pretty awesome, Liv Tyler was alright (Jennifer Connelly is a better actress), William Hurt was very good as General Ross and wicked wicked cameo of Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark even though it was only for like a minute. I loved the locations they used; mostly because they used a lot of the University of Toronto campus and I went there so I could recognize the buildings etc. Tom Roth was also very good, but he always seems to be good (IE. Reservoir Dogs). The fights, the explosions and the visual effects were all pretty awesome. The writing was good; the development of Tim Roth's character into Abomination was fine (done pretty briskly), the love story between Bruce and Betty Ross (not overdone) and the back story about how he came to be the hulk was cool (over the opening credits), however they could have done it as a quick montage with him telling someone about his problem perhaps someone who was in Rio in the beginning of the film. The back story would have been a little less confusing this way; my wife had trouble understanding it and it was confusing because the back story was different from the original hulk film.

I would have to say that if they made another hulk film with this cast that I would definitely pay to go see it at the theatre. If you love comic books or comic book movies then I highly recommend this film. If you like some comic book films then I would not recommend you go to the theatre but you may want to rent it.

Thanks for reading.

Sincerely,

Fanboy Dave
