Whereas Ang Lee's laughable film with the Big Green Angry Hero was seen taking on poodles with mutated rabies or fighting his dad who transformed into Zeus the lightning God - this film mercifully makes us forget the first film. Not that the first film is horrible, but those were just pushing it. This film,, however, is more serious and more deep than the first.

Edward Norton (whom I applauded for in "The Illusionist"), does his Bruce Banner character justice and depth, allowing Norton to flex his acting ability and makes the hero more understanding than Eric Bana in the first. Liv Tyler plays his love interest convincingly, as per William Hurt, who is good as Thunderbolt Ross. And fans can rest easy, as Tim Roth's portrayal of Emil Blonsky/Abomination hit the right notes (although with a dollop of well-handled CGI), menacing and ruthless altogether.

The story is great, really follows the comics and TV show. Zak Penn and Ed Norton, as Hulk fans themselves, do the screenplay justice. The direction is crisp by Transporter 2 director Louis Leterrier, who is arguably the right guy to direct the film. The action scenes are also crisp, with a touch of CGI here and there, and the climax is slam-bang and more than satisfactory.

I'm not a fan of the Hulk, however I do know most about his story based on fan sites and some comics I read when I was a kid. After watching this, it's safe to say that fans will not be disappointed and their expectations will be blown away. I welcome a sequel with open arms, albeit if Leterrier decides to return.

Overall, a great summer flick, definitely for a fun time at the cinema. That being said, I think Marvel has done the right move producing their own films ever since Iron Man.

8.5/10 for Entertainment
