The Incredible Hulk Trailer

While the Incredible Hulk isn’t the clunky disaster that some people claim, it’s far from a perfect film. It is a movie that relies on the big green behemoth to make it work and it mostly delivers. It doesn’t do a lot else very well, however. It tries to represent the more depressing aspects of the character, particularly the effect that his condition has on his life, but it’s underdeveloped and doesn’t add much. It also tries to create a little bit of romance between Banner and Betty Ross, but it’s cliched and lacks chemistry.

Edward Norton is a great choice as Banner and he has a very easy way with the material. He’s better than Bana was in the Ang Lee movie and the film moves much faster. The CGI isn’t as good as it has been in other movies, but it still looks great and does the job.

A huge problem with the film, though, is that it’s too violent. There’s a scene in the first half of the film where Blonsky kills an innocent man. There’s also a very violent fight between the Hulk and Blonsky that goes on for an inordinate amount of time. It makes the film feel like a violent action flick instead of the epic superhero drama that it is.

The movie also doesn’t do a very good job of representing the origins of the Hulk. It’s a bit too long and it doesn’t really explain how the character got his powers or how he was able to control them. It’s a shame because it would have been nice to have seen a story that gave the audience something to grab onto.

It is a good summer blockbuster, but it’s nothing special. It doesn’t have the charisma of Iron Man or the self-indulgent boredom of Spider-Man 3. It’s just a good popcorn flick with a few decent action sequences.

The DVD has some extra footage that was cut from the movie. It includes a scene in which the Hulk meets Captain America, but it’s not clear whether this will be included in future Marvel movies. It’s probably a safe bet, though, that the scene will show up on one of the Marvel Universe Blu-Rays. For now, though, it’s worth checking out the DVD if you haven’t yet. The extra footage isn’t as entertaining as the film itself, but it’s still worth watching. It shows that there is a lot more potential in this property than what is on display here. I hope that in the future we’ll see more movies that embrace this property’s strengths. It can be very entertaining if it’s done right.
