The Incredible Hulk (2008)

Two words: Edward Norton. He was my only reason for seeing this one. As superhero movies go, The Incredible Hulk is a decent addition. Norton is Bruce Banner, the fugitive gamma-rayed scientist that turns green when angry. Norton is solidly cast against William Hurt, Liv Tyler, and Tim Roth.

The story is solid without too many WTF?! moments. Banner is simply looking for a cure knowing that what lurks within is power too dangerous for anyone to have. Norton humanizes Banner well. The back story is quickly set through the opening credits, but I did want to see more of the origin. Norton is fascinating to watch, even here.

The CG is nicely and believably constructed. Although the Hulk antithesis, played in the flesh by Tim Roth, with it's dinosauric bony protuberances was more God of War than true villain.

The Incredible Hulk saves itself from mediocrity thanks to Norton and a surprise cameo by Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark. Guess I'll queue Iron Man up.
