Review: The Incredible Hulk

It’s hard not to compare The Incredible Hulk with the original Hulk. While the first one was very character driven, the new one lacks the depth or the pathos between the Hulk and Betty Ross (Liv Tyler).
One big improvement over the original is the action sequences, specifically, the end battle. Fans are looking for Hulk to smash stuff, and he mostly delivers. But at the same time, there isn’t a sense of danger. One of the problems with the Hulk as a character, is that you don’t believe that he’s going to lose. I mean, he’s the Hulk!
If you’re looking for light summer popcorn fair, you got it. But it won’t leave you nearly as satisfied with as with Iron Man.
