The Incredible Hulk 2008

  • Director: Louis Leterrier
  • Seen by this director: Now You See Me
  • Based on the book: no
  • Cast: Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, Tim Roth, William Hurt
  • Personal “oh yeah him/her” reaction, i.e. have seen this actor in:
    • Edward Norton – Alita, Birdman, Moonrise Kingdom, The Invention of Lying, Pride and Glory, The Illusionist, Frida, Fight Club, American History X
    • Liv Tyler – Ad Astra, The Leftovers, The Ledge, Lonesome Jim, Lord of the Rings, Armageddon
    • Tim Roth – many, including Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead
    • William Hurt – many.
  • Why? The cast and I remember it as being good.
  • Seen: Once before. Now 26 January 2024 

       When Bruce Banner’s (Norton) pulse reaches a certain pace he gets very big, very green and very violent. The Hulk. When the film opens he’s hiding out in Brazil, waiting for a cure. But the US Army is after him, wanting to turn him into a weapon.

       He returns to the US and seeks up his fellow scientist and lover Betty (Tyler).

       You know, I think it’s Ang Lee’s version I remember. Tyler isn’t right as Betty, with her little girl breathy voice. I’m pretty sure I remember Jennifer Connelly in the role and she was, as always, very good.

       Norton and Roth are always good and the film is interesting enough but not at all as good as I remember the other one being. 

2 ½* of 5
