Review of The Incredible Hulk (2008) by Nickm. — 24 Jun 2008
This was the perfect Hulk movie. They ALMOST got it right in the TV series (but the lack of a Betty Ross was the downfall). They got it totally wrong in Ang Lee's movie. This movie was perfect though.
What people don't seem to understand is the Hulk is a tragedy. It's not supposed to be witty or funny. Many of the critics panned it for that. Iron Man is a fun superhero. Hulk is a tragic superhero.
This was told stupendously by the Marvel filmmakers. The only problem I had with the movie was the casting of Liv Tyler as Betty Ross. Sure, she's pretty and could probably do the job with someone other than Ed Norton.
But the two didn't have the chemistry needed to truly pull off the level of intense love these two characters feel for each other (a love strong enough to tame the Hulk). Oh, and to the reviewer who said it was too slow.
