The Incredible Hulk

The Incredible Hulk was good fun with a mix of thumping big fights and green pathos, not quite as good as Iron Man but how do you compensate for the lack of giant robots? I liked the action sequences and the way they managed to strike a balance between 'right in the middle' and 'epic clash'  - too many handycam closeups and I get distressed.I also really liked some of the CGI. It was slightly weird to see the lovely Liv Tyler playing the girlfriend; I want to see her play characters with more agency *has a crush*. Loved the very end scene too.

I was actually really disappointed with the CGI. The Hulk from the Ang Lee film looked much, much better and that was five years ago.

Ohh the end made me squeeeee. i loved the film - I couldve done with more fighting! and Liv Taylor doing more than pouting and looking dewy eyed.

*g* Yeah, it didn't quite strike the right balance there.

I'm thinking that this is a DVD movie for me.

Glad that you enjoyed it, and mmmm Liv Tyler - yes! Crush yes!
