One Incredible Hulk

I haven't seen Ang Lee's version of the Hulk because of the bad word-of-mouth publicity. One close friend did say she liked Ang Lee's Hulk but since it was not the conventional comic book movie, it was highly misunderstood. Too bad I wasn't able to see it because I would have wanted to make a comparison. It is not available on video stores here now.

Anyway, I liked this new Incredible Hulk movie not because of the combat and action scenes but because of the storyline. Like Iron Man, at least the story makes sense in a way. I don't really need a very deep explanation of why something happened especially if the story is about a comic book character. However, I would like to see good characterization which this movie has shown, except for Liv Tyler. I don't know about you, guys, but Liv Tyler's acting has never been my cup of tea.

There were some funny moments, too and I particularly found it a bit moving to hear the Hulk TV series theme. It reminded me of Bill Bixby, an actor I am especially fond of and the only reason I watched the TV series.

The fight sequences will surely tickle the male species and I was not turned off by these, though I prefer the shorter fight sequences in Iron Man.
