The Incredible Hulk Movie Review
Twisted Imp | 4:49 PM on 06.14.2008 17 comments


First off let me say I came to this movie expecting it to be better than the original and what I got was much more better than the original and it was worth the $9 I payed for the movie ticket. I will review the movie in sections with my Triple A method : Acting, Action and Awesomeness. I am going to add a few epic spoilers near the bottom, so you can read on but the very bottom will be marked with spoilers of the epic sort.


Acting:
Let me say that I was surprised how good of a job Edward Norton pulling off Bruce Banner, he really got his personality down. The movie did a fairly good job on delivering in the acting department but in the style department I'd have to say that Iron Man tops it in style. Don't get me wrong I love the whole style of the movie, but I'd say Stark has a much better personality than Banner (alter-ego is a different story). The actor playing Blonksy (Abomination) really fit the villain mood, he wasn't too evil but he was a big enough dick. But thing is it had too much Banner when it should have had more Hulk.

Action:
The Action is great, it's just beautiful. I mean sure it is full of CGI, but how else can you make a ten foot green beast rip a police car in half and use them as boxing gloves to deliver a beating to Abomination. Which leads me to him fighting Abomination, Hulk was incredible (pun not intended) when fighting him, at the end their was a big epic battle between the two that was just jaw dropping. Hulk fighting the army was pretty cool, that's when you really get to see how powerful he is, little army men are no match for the Hulk and most of the time he fights the army, but they are still good action scenes.

Awesomeness:
Man oh man did they ever reach for nostalgia when they made this movie! Lou Ferrigno makes an appearance in the movie and the whole crowd clapped for him, but not only does he make an appearance he delivers the voice of the Hulk when the Hulk gives out a mighty..."HULK SMAAAAASH!!!" Paul Soles makes an appearance and I just found out he is the man who did the voice of Bruce Banner on the 60's cartoon show (also Spider Man in the Spider Man show). What really got the crowd going was when Banner was taking a slow walk and it started playing the slow walking tune from the show. Also they had to make a reference to the Hulk's classic purple pants, when he ran away with Betty Ross she went to buy some things and she got him the only pair of extra stretchy pants she could find and they were purple, too bad he didn't put them on though.

So let's re-cap.
Pros:
-Good action scenes
-very nostalgic
-good choice of actors
-HULK SMASH!!

Cons:
-Not enough action
-Too much Banner, not enough Hulk
-Very CGI animated Hulk

I give it an 8.5/10
I say go watch it, it will be worth your time!


Really Epic spoilers in the first comment by me. They don't involve the plot, but would be better if you were amazed when you see it in theater.

[color=white]Most of you have probably heard about how Tony Stark delivers an appearance, well this is about how he appears. After the movie is finished it counts to a scene with General Ross at a bar, drinking his troubles away. When BOOM door bursts open, light is shining in and a man in a suit walks it. Sits down and Ross turns to him and says "Stark, you always wear such nice suits..." Tony Stark then says "Touche. So I heard you have a rather unusual problem..." Ross says "Your one to talk" Tony Stark then says "Now you listen, what if I were to tell you we were putting together a little team..." I came when I saw this scene.
Also another Epic Spoiler is that it shows the guy who was helping Banner get better, when Blonsky knock him in the head he gets a pretty deep cut falls to the floor and above him is a container with a sample of Banner's blood dripping into the wound while his head morphs and grows... I believe the villain we are looking at is, The Leader.

I almost saw this last night, but decided to see Lars and Real Girl (which was really quite good). Might make another effort to go see this now i see it's not complete shit like the first one.

P.s. lol at spoilers.

I really agree with your review. I went because my buddies were going and since my wife was out for the night with her sister, I wanted to hang out with the guys for once... And I loved this movie. It was fun, campy... total Hulkage.

I enjoyed it. Personally I liked the movie more than Iron Man. I think Iron Man had the better characters, and the comedic portion. And Tony Stark is very good charismatic. But overall I enjoyed this more, I liked the action scenes better, and I thought it tied in better. The Iron Man bad guy was just like HERE I AM last fight type of thing. Not knocking Iron Man I just enjoyed the plot more of The Hulk

They dont control Spidey sadly nor do they control X-Men I belive Sony and then Fox does. I know Marvel said they would LOVE to buy them back at some point and maybe do an all out reboot:)

Huge references to the Avengers. Especially the Stark part where he says "You know the original super soldier project was put on ice".

I think the way things are going, the Avengers movie will be much more the ultimate version.
