The Incredible Hulk (2008) - movie review

So i went to see The Incredible Hulk today. Expectations were high, too high i was worried.

15 minutes into the movie i thought "hmmm... this sure does not seem like the trash the last Hulk movie was". 30 minutes into the movie i was thinking "Edward Norton is surely on the of the finest actors of my lifetime as he gives even a straight forward action flick underlying meaning".

By the time the movie reached half-time i was hooked. I was loving it.

I have to admit, i was a bit afraid to see sub-par CGI on the Hulk but they did a pretty good job, no complaints here.

Action is abundant, plot very straight forward yet not as dry as one might expect, acting is top notch, effects are gorgeous and dialog well sprinkled into the whole mix. Overall the movie has big bold flavor and provides great entertainment for children and their parents at the same time.

Score one more for Marvel (hot on the trail of Iron Man which was a blast as well). Now i will be eagerly anticipating Iron Man 2, Hulk 2 and... The Avengers.

P.S. Previews before the movie were awesome as well. Wanted which is coming out on the 27th should be one wild ride.

Verdict: 8/10

Rock on Marvel.
