Incredible Hulk //reviews //writing
Another Hulk movie, with another ‘serious’ actor drawn to Marvel’s giant green Jekyll and Hyde – this time Ed Norton. He’s the best thing about the film, although it’s also briskly directed in the first half of the film – a tense chase through the favelas followed by Hulk smashing from the shadows of a the Brazillian bottle factory.
It struggles in the same way as the Ang Lee Hulk film, the Hulk just doesn’t seem to work that well on screen. The most interesting bits of the film are the Bruce Banner sections, once the giant green Hulk appears the film gets much less exciting. It’s not rubbish, but it’s not that good either.
