you won't like him. whether he's angry or not.

Dr Bruce Banner (Edward Norton) is now a fugitive in Brazil after a gamma experiment goes wrong and renders him with condition that transforms him into a big green 'monster' whenever he gets excited or angry.

He is on the run from General Thaddeus Ross (William Hurt) who wants Banner in custody to study the effects of the experiment gone wrong as he believes it can be harnessed to create a 'super-soldier'.
He enlists the services of british army veteran Emil Blonsky (Tim Roth) to capture the Hulk but Blonsky's awe and hunger for power leads him down a dark path that head only one way - straight to a fight with The Incredible Hulk.

oh wait. there's also Dr Betty Ross (Liv Tyler) who's Banner's love interest. and the problem is - General Ross is her father.

they said they were going to treat this as a remake instead of a sequel to Ang Lee's Hulk in 2003 because they said it was "too boring".
but the reviews for this movie said it was "too boring".
so what did they accomplish?

well with so-called acting masters like Norton and Roth in the movie you'd expect there to be some substance.
but i think in the midst of trying to make a serious movie with action and good acting thrown in and also trying to be faitful to the original comic (they even have the Hulk in grey in some shots) - they failed miserably.

i honestly think the first Hulk was better.
maybe it's because they promised this would be better. but it wasn't.

good special FX. supposed to be good acting.
lousy movie in the end.

Final Verdict:
