The Incredible Hulk

 

 

First of all I have to say is this.  I FUC-KING LOVE THE INCREDIBLE HULK.  I don't care if it wasn't considered the best movie ever but as far as I'm concerned, it was the Hulk movie that I have waited almost thirty years for.  Before I blow my load, I guess I should tell you something about the film.

The main characters

The hulk, obviously.  This hulk starts off as a angry animal and ends up as the grey hulk, who is able to control his emotions to a certain extent.
Bruce Banner, who was called David Banner in the original series.  I always thought it strange that in the Ang Lee version of the Hulk, that his dad was called David Banner.
The bitch who gets his arse kicked.  That's all we need to know about this character played by Tim Roth.  I love Tim Roth and I really love Edward Norton, so as far as I'm concerned, this film is already on to a winner.
Liv Tyler is really coming into her own and after the great performance that she did in Lord of the rings does well in this movie too.  She plays a character called Betty and is perfectly suited and is able to get the feel of the girl from the comic.  She has such a soft and endearing voice that made me want to give her a hug.
The general played by William Hurt is perfect.  He is an utter bastard and I loved every minute that he was on the film.

So what is the movie about?   In a strange way, it seems to follow the travesty that was the Ang Lee movie and has Bruce living in Brazil.  He is followed by Tim Roth's character, who is working for the General and his job is to capture the Hulk.  It doesn't work out the way he planed and the Hulk first appears here and escapes.

Bruce makes his way some how back to his old flame Betty and believe me when I say this that, Liv Tyler looks awesome and if I had anyone as good looking as her, I would be making my way back to find her as well.  (I'm and ugly bastard and no women would give me a second look, oh well.)

I am not going to tell you another thing about the film except that it is so good that I had a tear in my eye and I'll tell you why.

Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno from the original TV series are in it, they play the piano music from the end of the original show from the seventies.  The hulk actually says, "Hulk smash" and is what I wanted.  The hulk didn't need an answer to his place in society, he didn't need to understand his insecurity complex or his purpose in society.  He only needed to hear those two words.  Hulk Smash.

I have waited thirty years for this movie and all I can say is, you might want to stay out of my way when this movie is available on DVD or Blu-ray.  I might have to kill you to get the money for this film.  I have to have this film and the last film that had me in a dizzy like this was Gladiator, where I almost got killed afterwards, when I walked out of the cinema and was nearly killed by an on coming car.  This is Hulk and nothing more.  If you have never read any of the comics or watched the cartoon, this will seem like the ranting of a mad man .
