A great summer movie with all of what we've come to expect from Marvel studios. For the exception of the Fantastic Four and the Daredevil movies in years past, MS has done it again. THIS is the Hulk that I grew up reading.No fancy story line, nothing intricate, just a straight forward plot and a pleasant feast for the eyes. (And I thought that Transformers was a loud movie. This movie is LOUD! The theatres sound system was deafening) And how fitting after all. We are talking about our favorite Jade Giant.
First time viewers who are new to the Hulk character, or the casual fan as well as comic book aficianados will appreciate this movie with light tie ins to the television show while staying truly dedicated to the strip. And the easter eggs are aplenty.
Cool cameos which I won't mention here for the folks who haven't seen it yet and fine efforts by Norton, Roth, Tyler and Hurt make this a fine assemblage of actors.
The CGI was pleasant to admire. The protruding muscles and ripped physique of the Hulk shows that someone in the cgi department had alot of fun constructing the main character.So much so, the fans will appreciate the final 30 minutes of the movie.
I would suggest seeing IronMan first if you haven't yet seen it as the 2 films have a direct line to each other laying down a foundation for some more upcoming excitement in our future.All and all, a great summer movie and one I highly recommend.
Although pretty strong for the young ones as the comic book violence is ratcheted up another notch, otherwise this is a great movie to enjoy on a fine Saturday night. Great job!
