Review:


I don't know why people complain about this movie. To me it was quite enjoyable. Granted, I don't know anything about comic books, or about the Hulk. So maybe that is why I enjoyed it.

I had always seen Hulk (and I mean Hulk because I didn't even know the man's name) as a man that grew big and green whenever he became angry. But, I enjoyed that this movie presents the human side and the internal struggle of both Bruce Banner and The Hulk. 

The downside of this movie is the lack of future it has. Once you see this movie, there is nothing else to see about The Hulk. More movies could be made, but they would probably turn out as The Incredible Hulk: a bad guy becomes a gigantic monster that wants to destroy earth and Bruce Banner needs to turn into the Hulk to stop it. Also, I keep thinking that, if the army would have done their job correctly, we could have taken about 20 minutes from the length of the movie. On the plus side, the ending, including Tony Stark’s cameo, was unexpected and very convenient for what lies ahead.
