The Incredible Hulk
The Incredible Hulk is a somewhat uneven movie, but enjoyable overall. I've never been the biggest fan of the Hulk franchise, but this newest version explores some of the more interesting aspects of the mythology. The addition of Edward Norton also helps take this film up a notch.
I wasn't the biggest fan of some of the special effects in The Incredible Hulk. I've read many reviews stating how great they felt the effects were. I don't get it. While the animations are well done, for some reason the Hulk is really shiny all the time. This makes him look as if he was made of plastic rather than skin. Perhaps this is more in line with how he is supposed to look, but I felt it could have been done better.
Aside from the effects, I enjoyed most of the rest of the movie. The script is kept relatively simple, which is always a good idea in a superhero movie, and the dialog has a minimum of cringe-worthy lines. Another major criticism is the final fight between the Hulk and the Abomination. I realize that this is supposed to be an epic battle of mutants, but it seems to go on forever and gets kind of boring. I also was not the biggest fan of the ending where several plot lines are left unresolved. 3.5/5
