half of the movie was wasted by screaming Hulk

The last hulk was horrible, this one is slightly better. Well, it is as usual, predictable, very much rely on CGI, and you know what? Hulk's face looks like a cartoon style (more to anime) and it is just off.

CGI is good, but not that good. You can still feel that Liv Tyler is talking to nobody when she talked with Hulk. And I just can't stand Hulk's screaming, it spends a whole damn movie. The storyline of the movie makes you feel asleep, boring action not like Iron man, this is certainly not a very good movie to watch. But since we are all Marvel geek we have to bear the suffering to watch it. This got one star since it shows Tony Stark in the epilogue.

Not quite Incredible, but not terrible

So we come to the next marvel blockbuster and the reimagining of The Incredible Hulk. Essentially a remake of Ang Lees 2003 version of Hulk, with emphasis on action rather than origin.

The original Ang Lee version is a serious movie which the fans did not understand in my opinion (it didn't make as much as the studio hoped for so the execs decided that the public was right and to remake it). The original was in my opinion a good movie, it had almost everything. The one thing it lacked was a genuine foe for the Hulk. This time the studio gives into fans demands and go for action.

Then how does this movie fare in comparison to Lees dark comic book movie, well not that well in my opinion. New director Louis Leterrier decides to pick up where Lees movie left off, with Banner (Edward Norton) in Brazil, where Banner has been hiding for 5 years in order to find a cure and he's even trying to control his anger in one of the genuinely funny moments in the movie. Unfortunately he cuts himself at work (in a bottle factory) and inadvertenly the government have located him because Stan Lees comely U.S. citizen drinks from the bottle which Banners blood fell into. So now that General Ross (William Hurt) has flukely stumbled upon Banners whereabouts its all action.

I would like to say Lee's version is forgotten, but i would be lieing, the direction in this version is poor, the acting though commendable is not as good and the action especially the final fight between hulk and abomination is not very engaging, if not pleasing on the eye. The end is setting up a possible sequel or hinting at an avengers movie, with lots of references to Shield and Iron Man setting up a possible crossover.

This movie will be a treat for the purist fans who didn't like Lee's version, but for me personally this doesn't compare to that movie. It's not even as good as the first Fantastic Four or X-Men: The Last Stand. It will make money, but in the end this movie is just average.
