FINALLY! A superhero movie with a deep and meaningful plot. The new version of “The Incredible Hulk” starring Edward Norton and Liv Tyler was a huge sucess and will stand out as a landmark of comic books gone movies for a very long time. With its exhilirating action scenes(which are limited thank god!) and its intense storyline this movie blew away all my expectations of it, and raised the bar of the superhero movie genre. I only went to see the movie because I am a huge Norton fan, and I was extremely pessimistic regarding the film, especially after the first Hulk was such a flop. However, the movie turned out to be great and I was happily surprised. The only unfortunate thing about me seeing this movie is that it completely raised my expectations of the superhero category and it set the bar by which all movies in this genre will now be judged.
The basic premise of the film is Bruce Banner (Norton) searching for a cure to turning into the hulk when his heart rate rises and he becomes angry. Meanwhile, an overzealous U.S. general searches for Norton believing that his entire body is property of the United States government because he only became the hulk as a result of a military experiment. Betty Ross (Tyler) a doctor in molecular biology (or something similar) loves Banner and tries to help her find a cure. Her father (the general) tries to open her eyes to the destruction that Banner causes. When French spec ops soldier contracted by the US military to track Banner experiments with other military “Hulkish” experiments he becomes somewhat of a monster himself!
“The Incredible Hulk was a good and entertaining movie, and it definitely deserves a viewing from everyone out there who reads this!.

Phew! I’m glad your faith in the comic book-turned-movie genre has been renewed. And I’m also glad to see you add to your review site. Looking forward to more (after homework is done, uh course!). I must go see this flick immediately.
