The Incredible Hulk

Resources: IMDb * Wikipedia

Premise: Scientist experiments on self, creates monster. Monster becomes a superhero.

Stars: Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, William Hurt, Tim Roth

Review: A typical comic book adaptation, the movie does not pretend to be much more. Driven by CGI monsters, pseudo-military adventure, the characters play second fiddle to the spectacle. Enjoyable for popcorn-movie lovers, but don't expect much more than that. Norton, Roth and Hurt, all strong character actors when given meatier roles, are all drawing paychecks here. I never expect much from Steven Tyler's daughter, so it's not a letdown here.

The Hulk, the Abomination, and the explosions are what people will go to the theater to see in this movie, and they won't be let down.

Overall: Mediocre
