Ed Norton acts really well in this movie. The story line and CGI is more realistic in this movie compared to the first HULK.

As every other review points out, this movie is nothing like Ang Lee's ill-conceived Hulk movie. This one is most certainly about 'Hulk Smash', and not 'Hulk Brood,' containing the finest action sequences of any Marvel movie. The final fight sequence, in which Hulk and Abomination tear through Harlem, is worth the cost of the disc alone. It's one of those scenes action fans will skip to when they're looking for a quick-fix. That isn't to say that this is just a big dumb action flick. Edward Norton does an excellent job as Bruce Banner, peaceful scientist and William Hurt and Tim Roth are only a few steps behind as the aging warmongers looking to exploit him.

In many ways, this could be described as The Incredible Hulk: The Series: The Movie as it captures the TV show's melancholy vibe and sees Bruce Banner constantly fleeing his enemies and his temper. Liv Tyler is somewhat underwhelming as Betty Ross but that doesn't do much to limit my enjoyment of this film.

Extras

Norton's battle with the studio over the final cut of this film was infamous and, having seen what was cut, I'll say that he has a point. I don't know if the deleted scenes would've made this a better movie but they're certainly worth watching. There's also a commentary track and some well-made making-of featurettes.

Presentation

The Blu-Ray format is pretty essential for a movie that relies so heavily on CGI. The transfer is top-drawer and your HD set will certainly earn it's keep, particularly during Hulk's first and last appearances.

Bottom Line

The plot and characterization are good (not great) but this movie's action sequences are where it shines. A treat for fans of the comic and tv series, the green goliath's second film film really deserves a bigger audience.

works good - I'm happy with the order - keep me informed of any more such deals as this.

i loved the movie i would tell all my friends and family for sure none stop action from start to finish

Cette version de Hulk est vraiment plus axé sur l'histoire et j'ai aimé voir le côté humain de ce grand héros vert.

I know people thought this was a corny movie but I liked it. Brought back memories of the weekly TV show that I enjoyed.

The digital copy of this is expired so it isn't really a 3 disc special edition anymore. Its a 2 disc. But the product arrived fairly quickly and was in good shape. So i was (mostly) happy with it.

I had hesitated for a long time before seeing this movie. I really only got it to give me the Hulk background before watching the Avengers. I was pleasantly surprised with a good storyline and was entertained. I'm glad they brought the Hulk back with some compassion.

The Incredible Hulk is sometimes overlooked in the canon of the Marvel Cinematic Universe but the Blu-Ray edition brings this well-made movie sharply to life. If you're collecting the Marvel superhero movies it's a must-have — unless you'd rather wait for the super-awesome boxed set which comes with The Avengers on September 25th.

As a Hulk fan I thouroghly enjoyed this movie. Ed Norton does quite a good piece of acting here. The scenes are done exceptionly well, especially the scene outdoors at the university. Liv Tyler is awesome in her rather emotional role. The storey line is acceptable - being that many other comic book type shows are not. I also enjoyed the original movie by Ang Lee. See, a "hooked" Hulk fan.
