Finally, an INCREDIBLE HULK

After the disappointing Hulk film by Ang Lee that upset fans with its portrayal of the Hulk, this new version with Ed Norton as Bruce Banner is far, far better, almost darker in a 'Dark Knight' sort of way. Ed Norton is likeable as Banner and entirely convincing when changing, and when he does change, the new CG Hulk in this version is more 'real' and ripped compared to the slightly cartoonish Hulk in Ang Lee's film. Tim Roth is an entertaining villain and without spoiling too much, the final action sequence at night could have descended into a 'rock em, sock em' robots style fight, but it remains enthralling. Secondary characters like Liv Tyler's Betty push the story along, but she will only ever be the squeeze for the main character. In preparation for the Avengers film this year, this is a must buy for fans as it will link everything up, just like the other films in Marvel Studios catalogue, but for action movie goers, it is also a worth while purchase. Just a shame Norton isn't in the Avengers film!

very enjoyable

When my son asked to watch this I have to admit to not particulary looking forward to it as the last Hulk movie was very poor. The comic book films that had been released before this had all been very good so I bit the bullet and purchased it. WOW, thankfully it had completely moved out of the shadow of the 2003 film, with excellent CGI, so much more realistic than its predecessor and blended with a stronger story line it made for a completely different film. The Lou Ferrigno cameo was a nice touch. I liked the avengers / iron man references that are slickly added in at the end to lock all the films in with each other. The blu-ray for me did work and i thought it looked good, infact the only down side was the casting of the scientist being Liv Tyler as she is far too cute and unconvincing. I would recomend anybody to watch it, its not the best comic book movie out, but its far from being the worst and very enjoyable
