It's strange that they made this movie so quickly after Ang Lee's god-awful 2003 Hulk (2 rating). Maybe they are real Hulk fans and wanted to get those bad images out of everyone's minds? Also, some strange casting here, but a good one with Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, William Hurt, and Tim Roth, although William Hurt is a notch below the others here. To be fair though, he does have the most ridiculous role as Tyler's father and the maniacal general who is out to caption the Hulk.
It mostly works, with the beginning being the best part, where Norton tries to escape detection and his own inner wrath by hiding in Brazil. Leterrier hasn't really done much as a director and that shows a bit as the movie fails to quite live up to it's early promise. I guess it was kind of a cool idea to turn Roth into another, evil Hulk, but it makes no sense plot wise. If Hurt is able to create Hulks on his own, why does he need Norton?
Still, overall this is a good entry to the Marvel film world. It's better than the Spiderman films and way, way better than the Ang Lee trash. A 6 rating.
