The Incredible Hulk- A Quick Review

After a rather disastrous attempt by Ang Lee in 2003, the latest version of Hulk sees Edward Norton in place of Eric Bana and is directed by Louis Letterier ( Transporter). Heck Edward Norton even gets credited as the script writer.
For the sake of those who have no clue about the Hulk, the opening credits show you what was essential the tale behind the origin of Hulk.This is shown in a characteristic style & then the movie starts off by showing Bruce Banner ( Hulk's alter ego) bottling cola in far away Brazil who during free time is trying to master techniques to control anger.

But very soon his place of existence is known to the General who wants to bring him in. His aim is to dissect Hulk & use the knowledge and material to build an army of super heroe's. Therein there's an interesting chase sequence & the story shifts base to the U.S.A. Bruce takes the help of his old flame (Liv Tyler) who's the daughter of the General.

From there its a constant manhunt with Hulk appearing at strategic times. Oh! and in classic comic book style you have a super villian- the abomination pitted against Hulk. The climax fight between the two is well captured. Overall a nice superhero movie- can be watched once.

Rating-2.5/5
