From its tropical anger management to a strictly platonic not so incredible hunk, this heavy on the muscle mass and light on the drama Hulk is not exactly new and improved, but does work its own brand of differently conceived mega-action magic.

The film does stand on it's own two feet, thanks mainly to Norton who should have demanded having Banner run a little more, and Hulk smash a little less.
An improvement over the first Hulk feature, it is still a far cry from the qualify of work achieved with Iron Man.
Top Critic [An] enjoyable aspects of the re-boot is that Norton's Bruce Banner seems so physically frail, that when he finally lets his inner beast out, the contrast is striking.
The Hulk is one of Marvel Comics more unsuccessfully developed superheroes. He is more of a scared animal striking out at his tormentors rather than a thinking being that acts with a conscience.
Leterrier's reboot might be a tighter, more coherent movie than Ang Lee's freaky-deaky, artsy-fartsy 2003 Hulk. But it's also way less interesting.
But if you love crap it's what you might well want as you wait for the better movies of this summer to come.
I'm still not too enthusiastic about the character, but the film is fast-paced, well-acted, and captures that elusive 'comic book feel.'
Yes, this Incredible Hulk gets very angry, and fortunately for comic fans, you'll like him when he's angry.
We get just about the right amount of science-speak and emotional longing from Banner and Betty between brawls.
Variety wins the day: You might see Hulk fighting in an airy green pasture or a nighttime metropolis, and the villains change and develop throughout the film, rendering it redundancy-free.
The sheer craft directors such as Leterrier lavish on them is awesome to me. I can't imagine how they orchestrate all the little pieces of film they require to build their big set pieces... [But] Why do they bother?
Top Critic The Incredible Hulk is often loud, and it can be quite dumb, but it's certainly not bloated.
THE INCREDIBLE HULK is a darker and grimmer superhero film with a more tragic hero than we have seen of late from the Marvel films.
¿Es esta película mejor que la anterior? Tremendamente difícil contestar.
The movie is fun enough, and it satisfied me as a lifelong Hulk fan.
It's okay, but I preferred Ang Lee's deep, yearning Hulk. Call me a sissy!
