The Incredible Hulk
I found this movie to be very credible. Much more credible than Ang Lee's film. It was not incredible by any mean. It wasn't great but it wasn't Ang Lee's Hulk bad. Ang Lee's Hulk wasn't horrible but it just wasn't very entertaining. This was more entertaining but it wasn't Iron Man.
There's some entertaining bits here but really there aren't any surprises or anything that you didn't expect to see. The trailer shows us the Abomination. We know that Betty Ross is in it. We know that there will be smashing.
The only real entertaining bits of the film come from the fact that Marvel is trying to create a cohesive movie universe here. That means that for the comic book geeks every time a character gets a couple lines or especially if they get their first and last name mentioned you get to play "who is that?" There are no characters in the Hulk who get any significant screen time that aren't cameos by people like Lou Ferrigno, Stan Lee, and even the dead Bill Bixby gets some screen time when a clip from The Courtship of Eddie's Father is show. There are also, as one of the trailers spoils, appearances by Tony Stark, Samuel Sterns, and Dr. Leonard Samson among others.
Other than that, there isn't all that much to recommend The Incredible Hulk.
two thumbs up
very credible
just not incredibly good
an A for effort.
