"The Incredible Hulk" kicks off an all-new, explosive and action-packed epic of one of the most popular Super Heroes of all time. In this new beginning, scientist Bruce Banner desperately hunts for a cure to the gamma radiation that poisoned his cells and unleashes the unbridled force of rage within him: The Hulk. Living in the shadows--cut off from a life he knew and the woman he loves, Betty Ross--Banner struggles to avoid the obsessive pursuit of his nemesis, General Thunderbolt Ross, and the military machinery that seeks to capture him and brutally exploit his power. As all three grapple with the secrets that led to The Hulk's creation, they are confronted with a monstrous new adversary known as The Abomination, whose destructive strength exceeds even The Hulk's own. And on June 13, one scientist must make an agonizing final choice: accept a peaceful life as Bruce Banner or find heroism in the creature he holds inside--The Incredible Hulk?

A vast improvement on the previous big screen adaption. Great performances from Edward Norton and Liv Tyler. Although the story could have been better.

This was an OK popcorn movie. It won't change your life but the 2 hours won't feel like a jail sentence either.

Truly sad this movie didn't garner better reviews in the media and better box office because in every way it outstrips the "Hulk" movie that preceded it even though it is viewed as a failure to some degree compared to the Ang Lee movie. Norton and Roth and Hurt are excellent and Tyler is passable. The SFX are fantastic and the plot gets down to good 'oul hulk smashing aciton (thank god there are no hulk poodles or electric hilk dads in this one!!. Is it as good as Dark Knight or Ironman, in a word .. no ... but its still a darn good superhero flick with a smart take on the source material.

Was it an illusion, no Ed Norton is the incredible hulk. Well sorta, thought that Bill Bixby was the best thought. Ed, well lets say he's doing his best. Just about pullled it off. Thought Liv Tylers lips looked like they had been subjected to some of that gamma. the other monster was brilliant. Hulk rules though and loved the cameo appearance of lou feringo.
