The climax is a bit of a yawn, but most of what precedes it is vigorous and sharp.

Norton makes for a wiry, curious Bruce Banner. But you can tell from the film's tedium-inducing smackdowns that a different philosophy prevailed: the artificial Zen of video-game playing.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 4, 2012

A more satisfactory adaptation of the spirit of Stan Lee's Marvel character.

It won't change your life but you'll walk away smiling.

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 6, 2010

What Hulk smash most? Hulk smash all hope of interesting time in cinema.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 18, 2008

The Incredible Hulk makes noises about a return, but it seems doubtful audiences will keep the faith for a third try -- at least, with Hulk as the sole star.

Full Review | Oct 18, 2008

There's not an excess of exposition, and the pricey CGI Hulk at his disposal is more angrily expressive than the mute one employed by Lee.

Full Review | Original Score: B | Oct 18, 2008

Rather than go to the trouble of crafting a dramatically satisfying conclusion, The Incredible Hulk" blows the audience off and takes the air out of its previous solid work by ending with what is essentially a shameless trailer for the next Marvel movie.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 18, 2008

This is a broody, moody action movie that never quite gets the blood boiling.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 1, 2008

In close-up the Hulk is more cartoonish than scary, but when he's ripping armed vehicles to shreds? Kewl.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 18, 2008

The sheer craft directors such as Leterrier lavish on them is awesome to me. I can't imagine how they orchestrate all the little pieces of film they require to build their big set pieces... [But] Why do they bother?

It's dismaying to think of all the wonderful performances Edward Norton has given in movies nobody ever saw. This one is high-octane slumming that will keep him in Bentleys for years.

It's really well done. It's a lot of fun.

Full Review | Jun 16, 2008

Digital spectacle is both too much and too little, and it's beginning to put some of us in a funk of disappointment and boredom. When you've seen one half-ton piece of metal flung through the air, you've seen them all.

The chief fault of The Incredible Hulk is that it aims to be the diametric opposite of Lee's, and it jettisons what actually worked.

| Jun 16, 2008

In their determination to make a reliable action movie, they forgot to make an interesting one.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 13, 2008

A smash-and-slash affair. This probably bodes well for the franchise but ill for those of us who think the world would be a better place with at least one less conflicted comic book antihero glutting the megaplexes.

| Original Score: C+ | Jun 13, 2008

It moves well for the most part, it delivers a worthy bad guy, and, in Edward Norton, it has a hero constantly on edge and on the run, a more swaggering and modern version of Bill Bixby's Banner from the '70s 온라인카지노추천 series.

Full Review | Jun 13, 2008

Broad, loud, straight-ahead and raucous, The Incredible Hulk may not be the smoothest or smartest movie ever made, but it sure captures the spirit of its giant green protagonist.
