The Incredible Hulk

Depicting the events after the Gamma Bomb. 'The Incredible Hulk' tells the story of Dr Bruce Banner, who seeks a cure to his unique condition, which causes him to turn into a giant green monster under emotional stress. Whilst on the run from military which seeks his capture, Banner comes close to a cure. But all is lost when a new creature emerges; The Abomination. Written by Graham Kroon

Well,well, well! None of the Hulk movies I saw before this made any impression on me at all, and so I never every actually understood or remembered if the Hulk was the hero or the bad guy. But I loved that in this movie they pay more attention to the character than the specifics of how he became the Hulk. The special effects were great--so much so that you actually believed that two monsters like the green Hulk and the grey Hulk could exist. A well-done movie overall, and you should definitely not miss the end of the movie. You will love the ending, especially if you are a fan of superhero movies. Criticism: The acting wasn't that great, and at the beginning I had a hard time paying attention, but by the end I realized that it wasn't the acting as much as the dialogue in the script. However, I wish that all superhero remakes were as good as this one and Iron Man... (I still shudder when I remember Superman Returns) Don't forget to vote!

To be honest the acting didn't bother me at all, not even in the beginning of the movie. The story was so intense I didn't notice anything. I did think the dialogue was a little dumb in a couple places.

But here are the things I loved about the movie:

The beginning. It was a great inroduction to the story that got you up to speed with what was going on, without taking up more than a couple minutes. And if you pay close attention, you'll catch a reference that will be important later in.

The characters.
Like the reviewer said, this movie did a great job of characterization. Even the bad guy was believable because he wasn't necessarily evil, he was just fascinated by the power that came with being "Hulky". I liked how Bruce Banner worked so hard to discipline himself, and how his girlfriend took care of him.

The action.
Terrific. I was on the edge of my seat stress-eating my popcorn through every action sequence.

The ending.
Classic! What more can I say? (And just so you know, there's nothing to wait for at the end of the credits this time.)

I thought it has some parts that were kind of "Are-you-serious?" but over all it is a goos movie... especially for the very ending of the movie.
