Just a warning, I have next to no self control so don’t read if you haven’t seen the film yet.
Ang Lee’s HULK was not a good Hulk movie. It went in the wrong direction. That is the simple truth. It went in the wrong direction for a Hulk movie. This movie, on the other hand, went in the complete right direction. Granted, the cast was better in Ang Lee’s, but everything else about this movie was better. A few artistic scenes are not unwelcome, but I would rather see HULK SMASH! Yes, the subplot with Samuel Sterns aka Mr. Blue aka The Leader is required because:
1. It (if not pointlessly) builds suspense in the helicopter drop.
2. It establishes a villain in the sequel
3. It puts abomination on the map as the Hulk’s equal foe.

The only part in which I was disappointed was the fact that the Hulk was not portrayed with near limitless strength. We didn’t get to see him do something like toppling a building down on Abomination. And I did not hate the whole “No killing” thing. Hulk doesn’t kill. But, she just said “Don’t do it!”. They could’ve at least done something more interesting like her jumping in front of him, or trying to speak to Bruce. Other than that, I think this movie is the paragon of a first Hulk. The acting was spot-on, the representation was perfect, and the movie really put me in the experience of Banner’s life. I am hungry for more smash, and I eagerly await the sequel.
And here’s a spoiler warning for everyone who eagerly awaits the rest of Ed Norton’s script.
According to what I’ve heard, there is a sequence where Bruce travels to Alaska to kill himself, and then discover how to control Hulk, leading upto the famous “glowing eyes.” Hulk gets a 7/10.

The last fight left an un-answered question for me, “you’ve left abomination alive, what do you think it’s gunna do? perhaps go quietly into the night and get a new paper round?”. Of course not! it was happy to go trashing the city trying to pick a fight with the big green guy and twatting anybody in its way. Way more dengerous than the Hulk.
Or perhaps not killing it was a means of leaving things unfinished ready for the next film.
All that said: it was about 10 billion times better than the last hulk film which sucked donkeys.

Ive been reading about how the subplot shouldnt have existed. Well heres the reason why it HAS to exist. The scientist AKA Mr. Blue is supposed to become “The Leader” For the sequel. Thats why at the end of the scene when The Abomination goes ape Sh** you see the banners blood drop into his head and you see hi head bubble up

To those defending Jennifer Connelly’s performance in the 2003 Hulk: I would like you to review that film one more time. It was the worst of her career (be sure to watch her expressions during the stupid hulk-dog scene–haven’t seen acting that plastic since Lars and the Real Girl).
Connelly is a much better actress than Liv Tyler overall, but in this case I gotta give more credit to the Aerosmith offspring.

Gr8 movie, wat else can I say that hasn’t already been said!!! The Hulk was meaner, darker, & grimier.. He looked like he was on steroids & his skin wasn’t all smooth like the 1st.. He just looked too clean in the 1st. But this hulk was nicely put together, veins poppin out & all.. I really didn’t care for Bettys “stop” request.. Abomination should’ve nudged her ass off the roof lol. The only other thing I wished the hulk did was run up to 300+ mph like the comics.. I’m glad they didn’t have him jumping all over the damn place like the 1st.. All & all very Beastie!!!

It did kinda dragged, and Liv Tyler was a bit annoying in the beginning of the film, but aside from that, the film is a great popcorn flick. I give it a 7.5/10.

The Incredible Hulk is bigger, meaner and a better shade of green. Edward Norton is one of the last actors I would have expected to play Hulk, but He did a good job. There are only a few movies I liked Liv Tyler in, and She was surprisingly great in this. It was great to see cameo appearances by Stan Lee, Lou Ferrigno and Robert Downey JR(as Tony Stark a.k.a Iron Man). The action was top notch and the CGI was incredible. Hulk actually looked menacing in this film. The Abomination was really cool and Tim Roth was an excellent choice. There were a few really funny parts in the movie, especially when Bruce Banner a.k.a Hulk and Betty Ross were trying to “Get down to business” and He said He couldn’t get excited or else His heart rate will go up. That was the funniest part. When I heard Edward Norton would be penning the script, I was really happy, and He did a great job with that. In the 2003 Hulk, they made the Hulk jump like a trillion feet through the air which I thought was SO far- fetched and retarted. So I was really hoping that they wouldn’t make Him do that in this one, and they didn’t. So I was thankful for that. I actually would have liked to have seen more, maybe a bit longer. Although this one was an hour and fifty six minutes. This one was better than the last one and I hope there will be another one. B

I was pleasantly surprised after Ang Lee’s cluster F^&*. I went in with low expectations and actually sat through a Comic Book movie, and left with a happy feeling. The fact that I heard Lou’s voice booming “HULK SMASH” made all the difference in the world.
