"A true psychodrama that touches on the depth of the human psyche but still delivers great comic book type action."
The Incredible Hulk may not be the darkest comic-to-big screen adaptation yet, but it may be the best mixture. It's a true psychodrama that touches on the depth of the human psyche but still delivers great comic book type action. It's everything that the 2003 version wasn't but should have been. It gives us a human element to which most anyone should be able to relate and manages to convey the Hulk as a hero and Banner as a truly tortured soul. Believable choices delivered by an exceptional cast. The large action spectacles make this film but the small character touches elevate it. (It's just too bad that they cut so much great character moments that you see in the deleted scenes on the DVD. They would've elevated this film to 10/10 levels.) I also love the homage to Lou Ferrigno and Bill Bixby's TV Hulk, not just the cameos but the man on the run tone. The action was as good as advertised and the CG worked better then I had hoped. These strengths make it more than your average wham-bam action flick and make Incredible Hulk one remarkable movie.
