I’ve never really been a big fan of the Hulk simply because I don’t count him as being a “super-hero”. It’s not the super part I’m arguing it’s the hero part, really the guy just gets really mad and breaks stuff, very rarely does he actually help anyone, that being said I did enjoy the movie.
The cast was great, Edward Norton is usually very dependable onscreen, and brought a sympathetic confidence to the role of Bruce Banner.
Liv Tyler as always looks great, but I did find she sort of whispered her way through the role (speak up girl).
Tim Roth was great as well, but then he’s like Norton and seems to always be dependable.
William hurt rounds out the top line cast and as a seasoned veteran he brings confidence to every role he plays.
I liked that they were able to reboot the franchise and still show the back story without doing a long drawn out origin story again, you get all the information you need in the first few minutes and then you get right to the movie. Once the back story is out of the way the movie blends action scenes with humor and plot which keep a good pace from beginning to end. As for the ending the climactic battle is well done with great special effects and as much believability as you can expect from a movie about an 8 foot 1500lb monster with super strength. As for the wrap up scenes, that hint at other movies to come, they’re novel the first time around but don’t really ad much if you were to watch it again. I would have liked it better as a scene at the end of the credits, but what can you do.
Bottom line it’s a good pick for a nice relaxing movie night, not too heavy on drama and you really don’t need to think too much, but for comic fans there are enough little things throughout that if you want to go through and pick it a part you can still have some fun.
