trulyinspiringmovies:The Incredible Hulk“The Incredible Hulk” is a surprisingly great film and the fact that no one really talks about this film is a shame.Bruce Banner is a scientist who, after a freak accident, is cursed with the power of transforming into a giant green beast, called The Hulk, whenever his heart rate gets too high. The military, led by General Ross, wants to dissect Bruce to study his power and use it as a weapon. Bruce decides to lay low and try to get rid of his powers through any means necessary. After he’s exhausted all his resources and options, he gets discovered and must now be on the move. With the help of Betty Ross, Bruce must get rid of the potential danger being the Hulk comes with before it falls into the corrupt hands of the government.I know that traditionally, in the comics, Bruce transforms into the Hulk whenever he gets too angry. This film did follow that loosely, but mainly stuck with the heart rate being the cause of his transformation. I personally like the heart rate choice a bit better because it’s easier to quantify what causes his transformation and the heart rate monitor watch on his wrist was an excellent visual gauge of when he’s close to changing. This whole films is injected with style and grit. Showing the audience how many days until the last incident really made me feel as if Bruce’s transformations had some gravity in terms of consequence. Edward Norton is a phenomenal actor and it’s sad to see such talent not being in the upcoming “Avengers: Infinity War”. It’s not that I don’t like Mark Ruffalo. It’s just I like Edward Norton as Bruce Banner a bit better. I know that it’s extremely difficult to write a story for a character that is virtually indestructible, but I feel that the choice of focusing more on Bruce Banner rather than Hulk actually worked in this film’s favor. It made the story more compelling and it humanized a side of Hulk that we don’t really get to see in current Marvel films. Most Marvel films now are riddled with comedy, which isn’t inherently a bad thing, but I miss those days when comic book movies had a bit more of a serious tone to them. All in all, “The Incredible Hulk” is a refreshing and nostalgic film to watch in preparation for the upcoming “Avengers: Infinity War”. The Hulk never got any sequels, so it’s really the only isolated look into the personality of Bruce Banner and it’s a damn good look at that too.★★★★★Rewatched on April 18th, 2018 -- source link
