Ang Lee’s “Hulk” was, to say the least, misguided, dull, overly cerebral, and disappointing. This one (which basically ignores the original film) is MUCH more faithful to the comic book and the classic television series. Yes, the dialogue is a bit stilted, but this is a comic book movie, what did you expect? The story moves along quickly, there is an underlying sadness to Bruce Banner’s dilemma, the special effects are well done, the final battle is satisfying…overall, a solid effort and I do hope they eventually do a sequel (I know they are doing “The Avengers” next, but a Hulk sequel would be appreciated as well). I only gave it 4 stars because this movie is NOT the revelation that “Iron Man” was…this is more of your standard superhero movie, but again, reasonably well done.
