father played by William Hurt. He is obsessed with finding Banner and harnessing his Gamma power but certainly not for the good of all.
RECOMMENDED?
What I liked about this film was that it was exciting from the first minute. It did seem to wilt a little in the middle but then rose to the final battle with all of the necessary thrills and spills. Edward Norton who plays Banner reminded me, in a way, of the original hulk, Bill Bixby, and I thought that he fitted the character well.
Sure on the whole the entire film was just stuff and nonsense, fantasy and at some levels drivel. However it is powerful stuff. Perhaps it is this second childhood that I am in, or maybe I never left the first. Gosh I am wandering now. Still what I mean is that it was like grown up Saturday Morning Movie film adventure but in a totally different way. I know kids today are blas but all I can say is aren't they lucky to have such exciting, adventure, monster movies.
There were a few funny moments and despite the plot being a little sparse there was enough to offer some tension.
The Incredible Hulk came out on DVD a couple of weeks ago but as usual we only watched the film. I imagine though that there will be some mighty extras with such a film. It is 112 minutes long and seems to be rated either a 12+ or a PG.
So The Incredible Hulk is recommended as pure stuff and nonsense stuff that is exceptionally exciting. Enjoy.
