THE HULK

Plot:

After being duped by the military and injected with a high dosage of Gamma Ray that fuses his body into a massive hulk upon becoming angry, Bruce Banner (Norton) becomes a fugitive who hides out somewhere in Central America, trying to find a cure for his condition while also trying to maintain a calm pulse (controlling the beast within). Under the watchful eye of Gen. Thaddeus Ross (Hurt), the originator of the experience, Banner is soon tracked and hunted by an elite team of soldiers led by action junkie Emil Blonsky (Roth), who once he encounters the Hulk, rather than be scared he wants the same injection so that he can do battle with the monster. But once injected he becomes a a monster even worst than his predecessor. Banner along with his long lost love Betty (Tyler), must find a way to defeat the beast as well as find a cure to regress the ailment.

Reel Talk:

Although I like this Hulk better than the 2003 version starring Eric Bana, I was a little thrown off by the casting of Norton as Banner. It was something about the whiny Norton that just didn't sit right for me. Still this was a good comic book adaption of the massive brute known as The Hulk. Even though there are some slow periods during the movie, when the actions takes place - its hardcore. Tim Roth playing the psycho soldier trying to battle the Hulk is hilarious.Just for a little fun there is a cameo with Lou Ferrigno (the original star for the TV series The Hulk). If you've been watching closely, in Iron Man and The Hulk, you'll see the hints leading to the hype, building up for the next possible Marvel Comic's movie "The Avengers".

Starring: Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, Tim Roth, William Hurt and Lou Ferrigno
