The "not-so"Incredible Hulk

First, year 2003 Hulk. Now, comes The Incredible Hulk. The trailer is already enough to set my excitement level to go over 200 bpm. The graphics are absolutely stunning, with more realistic texture on the mean, green monster himself, much better than the previous Hulk. Feel the action, the adrenaline, the new HULK!!

Then I went to see the movie, and that's where all my hopes and expectations came to a questionable halt. I'm not going to tell you the story, the trailer itself says it all. This new Hulk has it all; nice story, stunning CGI graphics and animation, and a promising battle of the titans. But I have to say, the film has a very raw feel.

When it comes to the battle of the titans, aka. the Hulk vs Abomination, it was too fast, resulting in a blur, which left me wondering what's going on. But above all, the Hulk doesn't look so powerful. What happened to him, the all-powerful Hulk in the comics?!

Ang Lee's Hulk has this interesting feature, where at certain point of time, one scene would pause, and like a comic book, the camera shifts to another picture ( next scene). Just like reading a comic book. When it comes to the new Hulk, it's just like watching another typical movie. Yes, the graphics are better and good storyline, but lacking the "uumph" that the 1st Hulk had.

To me, I'd rather watch the first Hulk.

Rating: 3/5
