Alriiiiiight!!! This film is a "Hulk Smash" hit. Since most of the Marvel Comics films are a 50/50 proposition, it is very nice to have two back-to-back successes with the releases of Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk. The previous inferior Hulk film, directed by Ang Lee in 2003, can hopefully be forgotten, as this one certainly gets the right mixture of story, action, and dare I say it - better actors. Edward Norton is superb as Dr. Bruce Banner, aka The Hulk. Liv Tyler adds a believable love interest as Dr. Betty Ross, and William Hurt turns in an edgy performance playing her military father, obsessed with turning the power of the Hulk into a weapon. This movie is a satisfying and tasty treat - don't miss it on the big screen.
