JJ's Review of The Incredible Hulk

Satisfying on so many levels! This is the Hulk I wanted to see. Plenty of "Hulk Smash" which would have been enough, but oh no there is so much more. Great pace for a 2 hour movie, decent supporting cast and Edward Norton portrays the tormented Bruce Banner to perfection. With the exception of a few scenes, the Hulk was CGI'd to what appears to be the best that can be done. The Hulk shows a range of emotions that connects you to his character like no other previous Hulk. As far as the story is concerned I felt they stayed relatively true to the comics and what changes were made enhanced the overall mass appeal. I really appreciate when writers and directors try to appease the fans of the genre in this case, fanboys and comic book geeks such as myself. It was so great to see Hulk "Thunder Clap, Pound the Earth and yell HULK SMASH!!! and more subtly, cameos from Lou Ferigno, Stan Lee and 'The Lonely Man" music...and as if that weren't enough the surprise cameo from another popular Marvel hero at the end (name rhymes with Boney Bark) OMG!!! My mind was blow at the thought of what's to come for the genre. Overall very fulfilling.
