Tim Roth does a nice job as the power-hungry Blonsky, and William Hurt\'s cigar-chomping General looks like a combination of Dale Dye and Paul Newman. Norton infuses the character of Banner with a humanity that feels genuine you truly believe that he is conflicted about the power within him.
Sure the climax consists of two computer-animated beasts battling it out, but it\'s so well done that it\'s easy to forgive. It\'s entertaining, it\'s never boring, it\'s well acted, the dialog is smart, and the action is fun to watch. The attempt to capture Banner fails, but unleashes the Hulk - and now it\'s a race against time as Banner tries to find a solution to keep his inner Hulk under control (or eliminate it altogether), and the military tries to capture Banner to exploit the super-soldier lurking within him.ĭirected by Louis Leterrier (the Transporter series), the film is a popcorn movie that succeeds on pretty much every level.

It\'s rare these days that a franchise gets a chance to make a clean start, especially so soon after the last failed attempt.
