Good Stuff

Let me first start off by saying that I never saw the 2003 Hulk, and from what I've heard, this is a good thing. Well, being a bit of a comic book fan, I must say that the 2008 Incredible Hulk delivers in several different ways. The cast was pretty much impeccable. Norton as Banner fits like a glove, Liv Tyler is a seriously convincing actress, and Tim Roth and William Hurt make for a good menacing team. Also, Tim Blake Nelson, the awesome talent that he is provides much needed chuckles without any of the cheese, if you know what I mean. Direction and script are great. I can't think of any moments where I cringed at a line of dialogue or wanted to get behind the camera myself. The plot and progression of the movie were made clear. Special effects are pretty darn good, and from what I hear a billion times better than the 2003 movie. Personally, I don't care if special effects aren't perfect just as long as they're not bad enough to distract me from the plot. Depiction of the Hulk and Abomination are in short, awesome. You definitely get the sense that Hulk is indestructible but that he also has a soul. And while Abomination's appearance strays just a bit from comic book art, there's no denying that he looks pretty rad. Oh, did I mention that I love the Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) cameo? There's some great and exciting foreshadowing going on in these Marvel flicks. My only slight discrepancy is that I longed for a bit more Bruce Banner scenes. The movie is short enough to where it wouldn't be much of a bother to squeeze in a few more biographical and personal moments. And I'm almost sure there's a few of those on the cutting room floor. But there's enough there that it doesn't take away from the experience. In short, go see this movie and put your possible nightmares of the previous try to rest. I'll see it again and will probably buy it when it comes out on DVD. Now we can only hope that they remake Spider-man 3. *::gets down on knees and prays::*
Yes, I recommend this movie.
