Trust Me, You Want To See Him When He's Angry

The Hulk- I'm sorry The Incredible Hulk was just that. Incredible. The new movie is a reinvention of the character on the big screen. It has nothing to do with the Ang Lee version which starred Eric Bana. Edward Norton stars and co-wrote the movie about Dr. Bruce Banner who was hit by gamma radiation and who turns into The Hulk, a 9 foot menace with anger issues. It's not an origin story, in fact it takes place about 5 years after Bruce was contaminated. During the opening credits, flashbacks and newspaper clippings summed up the events that led to his metamorphosis. Bruce is on the run from an Army general who wants to dissect him in order to create super soldiers for the military. There are many tie ins to other Marvel spin offs and areas left open for a sequel if it does well enough at the box office. The super solider serum was mentioned as a project that has been buried for years. A nod to the fact that Captain America was the first successful super soldier created during WWII. Also, at the end of the film Tony Stark shows up to inquire to the general that "we are assembling a team." Of course he is talking about the Avenger initiative otherwise simply knows as The Avengers. Abomination was not killed and the professor who assisted Bruce was accidentally contaminated with the serum that created Abomination. The movie had a few cheesy lines and too many tie ins to the old TV show. It kind of took you away from the story and reminded you that you are watching a movie. The action sequences and fight scenes were spectacular and way over the top in the coolest way possible.
