In the past two weeks I’ve seen this movie twice. Not because it’s a good movie (which it was) but because I just had the opportunity to go twice. I really like the movie. It and Ironman, so far have proved to be very good Marvel movies. The story is not related to the Hulk movie that was produced by Ang Lee. This movie story line is a variation of the T.V. version The Incredible Hulk. It even had cameos by Lou Ferrigno and Bill Bixby even though I didn’t see the cameo spot by Bill Bixby. Over all, Bruce Banner is hunted by General Ross so he can exploit the power of the Hulk. Along the way, a new threat is introduced: The Abomination. Which leads to a fantastic fight in N.Y.
I have to give the director credit, he was able to show so much feeling and emotion through the facial expression of Bruce Banner and the Hulk that you didn’t need sit through a dance number like in Spider Man 3 or listen to constant whining. It was well directed movie and worth the money for a ticket.
On a side note: if my memory serves me correctly; Betty Ross (Banner’s love and the General Ross’s daughter) was a strong willed woman in the comics. In the movie they made her sappy cry bag. However, I guess it had its place since it would piss the Hulk off enough to help her out.
