I’m among the masses who were disappointed with Ang Lee’s Hulk five years ago. It was such a misfire in so many ways, most notably in that it took itself waaaaay to serious, but The Incredible Hulk is a vast improvement. It’s not as much fun as Iron Man, but this film has hopefully been able to set up a franchise. While Eric Bana was good as Bruce Banner, but Edward Norton is even better. And while I usually can’t stand Liv Tyler, she was okay as Betty Ross. As with Iron Man, there is a nod to a possible future Avengers film, which with Iron Man, Hulk and Captain America… I can’t even imagine how cool that would be. I don’t really read comic books (aside from the occasional Archie and Uncle Scrooge), but nonetheless, it’s exciting to see so many in development now and I love how they are crossing over. 3/5

By the way, does anyone else remember the early 80s Hulk animated series? It’s my favorite incarnation of The Hulk thus far. Particularly the theme song:
