DVD Synopsis

Mild-mannered scientist Bruce Banner has been traveling the globe in search of the antidote that will allow him to break free from his primal alter ego, but both the warmongers who long to exploit him for their own gain and a horrific creature known as The Abomination are determined to stop him from achieving his noble goal in Transporter 2 director Louis Leterrier's take on the classic Marvel Comics superhero tale. For years, Bruce (Edward Norton) has been living in the shadows, pursued by the military and haunted by the rage within. But traveling the world in secrecy isn't easy, and as hard as he tries Bruce can't get Betty Ross (Liv Tyler) off his mind. The daughter of Bruce's nemesis Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross (William Hurt), Betty represents everything that is beautiful in the world to a man who lives his life on the run. Eventually, Bruce returns to civilization and faces the wrath of The Abomination. While the Hulk may be a formidable force of nature, The Abomination is decidedly more powerful, and determined to destroy Bruce Banner. Created when KGB agent Emil Blonsky (Tim Roth) exposed himself to a higher dose of the same radiation that transformed Bruce into The Hulk, The Abomination is unable to change back into human form and holds Bruce accountable for his frightful condition. With time fast running out for both Bruce and The Hulk, New York City is about to become the ultimate urban battle zone as two of the most powerful creatures ever to walk the earth clash in a massive, no-holds-barred fight to the finish. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

The Incredible Hulk the series was a great success for a number of reasons, is it that it was first? No. Is it because it had great stories? No, though the stories were excellent. Is it that the acting was so fantastic? No, but it was. So why then do so many fans enjoy the series and hate the last movie so much? Because it was superb in the suspension of disbelief. When you watched the series you felt that The Hulk was possible. This began at the intro of the show, with Bruce Banner in his lab, getting gamma irradiated, and continued through each episode. Now finally there is a new cast to fill the shoes of the old...

Edward Norton always makes movies that I though, Man he is spot on; and his Bruce Banner is no exception. Bruce was not some nerdy punk who got a swirly in high school, He isn't some push over that would get beaten up by a 3 year old girl, he was an average guy (with some anger management issues.) He also has one tremendous character 'flaw' ... responsibility, Everything that The Hulk does he is, or feels he is responsible for, everything that comes out of The Hulk, he is responsible for... and that is one of the key reasons he wants to get rid of it. So again, Edward Norton, SPOT ON!

The movie starts in the slums of Brazil, which I appreciate, since I speak Portuguese I was looking forward to seeing it. Unfortunately a few of the parts were from people who spoke either horrible Portuguese and got the words wrong, or people who spoke with accents that I couldn't understand, though most of the parts were played by Brazilians, (like his teacher) so I got my warm and fuzzy out of it. Also they did a half decent job with Brazilian geography (though the favelha they used was in Rio)

Liv Tyler, felt a little hollow at first, but she hit her key moments right, so, I'm alright with her part.

William Hurt ... I always wanted horrible things to happen to the general ... Hurt was one unlikeable guy ... way to go!

Tim Roth - unfortunately I think they did a disservice by not giving his character more screen time, I think they could have shown a little more of his development so we understood a little better at the end what happens, still his character is understandable, I just would have liked to see him a little more.

CGI The Hulk, well done. It didn't have the Saturday morning cartoon feel to it, I heard some complaints out not seeing the monster enough, but I think they did a great job with this. He wasn't overdone, his animation was KILLER from his expressions, to his injuries.

Props for a job well done on this movie. People who enjoyed the series will finally have a Hulk on the big screen to like, hard core fans should be happy with this movie as they don't butcher the storyline to bad (come on guys you do have to give them some artistic license.)

I truly feel this was the best Hulk movie made. Loved seeing Lou F. (the true Hulk man) from the tv show series with a cameo in the movie!
Great movie!
