Movie Review: The Incredible Hulk


After watching the 2003 movie 'The Hulk' I did not really want to watch this one, due to the first one's failure, but it's amazing on how comic book adoptions can surprise a person, sometimes, when you expect a comic book adaption to be bad, it turns out to be a good movie, but sometimes when you expect a comic book movie adaption to be good, it actually turns out to be a great movie, and 'The incredible Hulk' is a perfect example on how movies are not always what you think they are.
The movie tries to go closer to the TV show's approach on the begging, that took me back, and with most this movie, I really felt like Bruce Banner is a real person, Edward Norton really fits as Banner, most of the movie is following the idea that Banner is being chased by the army, you know, being hunted, that was done in the first one, but the first one was corny, this time it was the real deal, it actually made the idea of a person running away from the police smart and creative, and when Banner transforms to the Hulk, you know something good is about to happen.
The movie was not just event after event, the movie actually went through just one event on the main idea of the movie, that was one reason why this was a great movie, some other reasons include the great effects, good acting, great acting, but however, the movie was not 100% great, the movie still had some struggles, the problem with this one is that, well, there were some boring scenes that were not really needed for the movie generally, the movie just generally faced that problem every forty five minutes or so.
The movie included excellent fight scenes as well, weather it was the one against the army, weather it was the one Brazil, they where all great, but the best one was obviously the end, the one with Hulk and Abomination, that fight gave many things to show, great effects, allot of good action, and espeasialy the idea that it was two equally matched 'Monsters' where fighting, that all seemed uncreative, but it takes creativity to make it a great fight scene,
Overall, the movie was a handful of great surprises, although there were a few glitches, a few major, the movie still managed to really entertain, due to the great scenes being very powerful, and more than the scenes that were not so great, but none the less, the movie was a great, fun ride to enjoy, not a perfect movie, but if it wasn't for the glitches, believe me, it would be close to perfect.
