The Incredible Hulk
rated PG-13
rating 31/2 out of 5 stars
Moral rating: Better than Average
A few years ago Ang Lee brought the Marvel comic character Hulk to the big screen in an emotionally dense, psychologically intense and special effects loaded version of the comic book that received a TON of negative criticism. Marvel enterprises now, apparently, wanted to try again and create a movie that would fit into their line of well-made and well-received movies such as X-men, Spiderman and Iron Man. Well, I would say that Marvel has finally succeeded.
Ed Norton plays a wonderful Bruce Banner, full of emotion and intensity as he runs from General Ross (William Hurt) who has been searching for Banner. Liv Tyler is charming as Banner's love interest Betty Ross. It is nice to see her back on the big screen in a GOOD movie!
Tim Roth plays Banner's nemesis...who becomes the amazing Abomination. A sort of monster version of Hulk.
In a nutshell....the acting is good, the action is good, the visual effects are great and the story is wonderful. This movie fits nicely into the Avengers arc of Marvel comic movies (Tony Stark has a brief role in TIH). It felt to me like a Jason Bourne version of a comic movie. Morally, there was little language and brief sensuality-but nothing really overbearing that would keep me from seeing it again.
My verdict- go see it. Particularly if you like comic book movies.
