User reviews Review. Top review. An Incredible Reboot. I was not one of those who hated Ang Lee's portrayal of the Hulk. I did enjoy it to an extent; it was a bit slow-moving and there were some parts that needed some improvement, but it was overall a decent film. I do agree that Louis Letterier's film was a vast improvement, though.

It improved on all of the issues I had with Lee's film. The film is a reboot of the dying franchise: Bruce Banner has been hiding in Brazil, attempting to keep a low profile while he searches for a cure for his condition, but General Ross becomes aware of his location and enlists the aid of Emil Blonsky, a soldier with a mean streak. A bit of non-sanctioned experimentation later and Blonsky becomes a creature rivaling even the Hulk in power.

One issue I had with Lee's film was the slow-pacing; the film felt as if it dragged forever between action scenes. It wasn't necessarily the fault of the cast, but seemed more to do with a story that didn't really grab me. Letterier's film amps up the excitement and interest levels a bit with a stronger story and better action sequences.

The Hulk's fight against three gamma-irradiated dogs in the previous film doesn't even compare to the Hulk's battle against the Army on the college campus in this film.

I didn't see the Hulk from as being overly-cartoonish in appearance but I can see how some others did. The new film gives the Hulk a grittier, stronger, more realistic style as realistic as a 9-foot tall green giant can be and the Abomination looks just as good.

In general, I also dug the new cast better than the previous. Ed Norton was great as Bruce Banner, giving him a great blend of meekness and inner strength. From what I understand, Norton is a huge fan of the source material so you know he must've given this role everything he had.

I enjoyed Liv Tyler as Betty Ross, though there were times when I missed Jennifer Connelly, and Tim Roth has long been one of my favorite actors so it was great to see him go with the villainous side this time around as Blonsky.

William Hurt was a fine General Ross though, just as Liv Tyler, there were times when I thought Sam Elliot would've put in a stronger performance plus, there were a handful of instances where Hurt came off as over-acting a bit, in my opinion It's great to have the character of the Hulk back in the hands of Marvel and they've done a great job of rejuvenating the franchise.

I loved this film and, while it wasn't on par with 's Iron Man film, it was a great superhero flick. The action was brutal, the story was entertaining, and the cast was near perfect. My only real issue with the film was the ending; without going into detail, I thought the resolution of the final battle between the Hulk and Abomination was anti-climactic. I remember first watching the scene and the only thought that popped into my head was "That's IT?!

Otherwise, it's a great movie and a good way to spend two hours. FAQ Is this movie based on a book? Many believed that the snide comment was in relation to Norton rewriting the solo movie's script - he recently called out Marvel for Incredible Hulk's's bad script - something that probably didn't bode well with the higher ups at Marvel.

Norton's team quickly came out with a statement denying Marvel Studios' claims. Calling out Kevin Feige for his offensive comments to the actor, they claimed that there had been active conversations about Norton reprising the role in The Avengers , and that he was actually very excited at the idea of joining his fellow MCU actors for Whedon's movie.

However, " after several weeks of civil, uncontentious discussions Ruffalo was eventually announced to be taking over as Hulk. The actor belatedly admitted that he was extremely nervous to take on the role but maintained that he's good friends with Norton and he feels like he " has bequeathed this part " to him. Ruffalo's Hulk became one of the best parts of The Avengers. He'll soon appear in Avengers: Endgame this April, but his fate hangs in the balance after that with Marvel Studios seemingly no plans of going for another standalone film because of Hulk's rights issues with Universal.

It didn't take long for speculation to begin circling that Norton wouldn't be reprising the role of Bruce Banner; members of the cast were literally fielding questions about this during The Incredible Hulk 's press tour. In , shortly before filming began on The Avengers , Marvel confirmed they had parted ways with Norton. Even that wasn't particularly amicable, with their statement containing what seemed to be a parting shot aimed directly at him, saying their decision was "rooted in the need for an actor who embodies the creativity and collaborative spirit of our other talented cast members.

Meanwhile, in , Marvel Studios was purchased by Disney, virtually ending any chance of another solo Hulk film in the MCU as the distribution rights to Hulk films sit with Universal. Back in , that was a good thing for Marvel, because they lacked any distribution network of their own. When they were acquired by Disney, though, they gained the House of Mouse's own distribution channels.

And there was no way Disney would pay to produce The Incredible Hulk 2 , but allow Universal to profit from the distribution. Even Edward Norton's replacement, Mark Ruffalo, has conceded there is now no chance of another Hulk solo movie.
