The Incredible Hulk is out on Blu-Ray today. We have the review:
When you put a huge green character on screen surrounded by bad guys and killer explosions, you have a recipe for success. The Incredible Hulk movie was fantastic. I loved it! For Hulk fans this movie was a hundred times better than The Hulk movie from 2003. That disappointment showed Hulk the way he should be – he was big and worked on impulse. However, the emotional side of it just didn’t measure up to Hulk status. This new one changes all that. To really appreciate the new movie you have to understand the Incredible Hulk and how he lives. This character is untamed and out to spread his rage on his unlucky attackers, but has a human side as well.
For people who are die hard Hulk fans, the new movie was appropriately titled, with “incredible” being added, an important point.
The older color tv show from the 80’s had a lifesize Incredible Hulk and for its time it was pretty impressive. It also had the geeky scientist guy who became angry and transformed. The new Hulk movie follows this same type of theme. Edward Norton was a great pick for the scientist turned ultimate super hero.
Sometimes villains in super hero movies don’t look the part or are not even competition for the main character. In the Hulk movie this could not be further from the truth. The grey Hulk looking character was just as massive as the Incredible Hulk and perhaps a bit stronger. This made for great action sequences. When you have two equals hitting, squashing and picking up cars like they are micro machines, you have got the formula for great battle scenes and an don’t know if the Incredible Hulk will prevail.
This movie is an excellent display of good vs. evil and gives the Incredible Hulk a playground for an hour and a half. The computer animation effects are killer and keep your interest. The cameo of Stan Lee is greatly appreciated by Marvel comic book fans everywhere. The Incredible Hulk is not be misunderstood. With the government chasing him and the love of his life moving on, it is a tough battle with emotions at the forefront. The good thing about this movie is that they did not play off the emotions entirely. We know the Incredible Hulk is strong and we know that he hurts. What we want is explosions and to see that the Hulk can rule all. I can safely say that he did and he forever will…or maybe he will in a sequel. That would be awesome.
