Editorial Review:

Tim Roth, Liv Tyler, William Hurt, Edward Norton

A more accessible and less heavy-handed movie than Ang Lee's 2003 Hulk, Louis Leterrier's The Incredible Hulk is a purely popcorn love affair with Marvel's raging, green superhero, as well as the old television series starring Bill Bixby as Dr. David Banner and Lou Ferrigno as the beast within him. Edward Norton takes up where Eric Bana left off in Lee's version, playing Bruce (that's the character's original name) Banner, a haunted scientist always on the move. Trying to eliminate the effects of a military experiment that turns him into the Hulk whenever his emotions get the better of him, Banner is hiding out in Brazil at the film's beginning. Working in a bottling plant and communicating via email with an unidentified professor who thinks he can help, Banner goes postal when General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross and a small army turn up to grab him. Intent on developing whatever causes Banner's metamorphoses into a weapon, Ross brings along a quietly deranged soldier named Emil Blonsky (Tim Roth), who wants Ross to turn him into a supersoldier who can take on the Hulk. The adventure spreads to the U.S., where Banner hooks up with his old lover (and Ross' daughter), Betty (Liv Tyler), and where the Hulk takes on several armed assaults, including one in a pretty unusual location: a college campus. The film's action is impressive, though the computer-generated creature is disappointingly cartoonish, and a second monster turning up late in the movie looks even cheesier. Norton is largely wasted in the film--he's essentially a bridge between sequences where he disappears and the Hulk rampages around. As good an actor as he is, Norton doesn't have the charisma here to carry those scenes in which one waits impatiently for the real show to begin. --Tom Keogh

• No French Subtitles but amazing movie on PS3
  It's a real High definition experience! It's a wonderful show, "du grand spectacle" in French.
  But I'm disappointed there is no french subtitles why?? It's a Blu ray with 50 Go but no place for French subtitles.

• Big improvement on the last one...
  When I sat down to watch this movie, I had no real expectations as the last Hulk movie was very poor, however with the recent spate of excellent Marvel films I was keeping my fingers crossed. Firstly I must say this was a huge improvement from the movie a few years back. The CGI was a lot less obvious and the movie had a much fuller story. Nice cameo from Lou Ferrigno as the security guard and of course Stan Lee. Looked good on Blu Ray, however not as much for me as Iron Man. Major downside for me was Liv... more info

• Beware Potential Blu Ray Problems
  The film was OK, but just that. However, the main reason I am writing this review is to warn potential buyers that this disk seems to have latest-technology content on it. The titles etc. played on my Samsung BD-P1400 OK but the film refused to play. However, I did get the film to play, eventually, by downloading and installing the latest firmware.
  So, for Samsung BD-P1400 owner's, at least. Get the latest firmware first.

• Incredible!!!!
  Seems some are having probs with this bd, it could be firmware updates as this is a new bd, with bdlive enabling.By the way it does not work tried several times to enable.As to the bd p.q fantastic, sound awesome.Tim Roth just about pulls it of for the bad guy,as for the rest of the acting Hulk wins.
