The Incredible Hulk

If Edward Norton has done a bad film I haven't seen it. So it wasn't much of a risk to see The Incredible Hulk .
Everyone knows what it's about.
This is an interesting take on the Hulk, though, with Dr Bruce Banner (Norton) exiling himself to find a cure for the `green' but being tracked down by General Ross (William Hurt) to recover the weapon Banner has inside him.
Liv Tyler is the girlfriend and seems to have been typecast in that kind of role.
The only real criticism is the CGI which at times isn't as impressive as it should be. But the positive is thatthe Hulk isn't as unbelievably large as he was in the previous attempt at this story.
A nice cameo at the end from Robert Downey Jr to give us an idea where the story is going to go. It's enjoyable and a worthy comic book conversion. A 7.5 out of 10.
