The Incredible Hulk

The Incredible Hulk is all about scientist Bruce Banner ( Edward Norton) who is attempting to find a remedy for his gamma radiation poisoning that reacts to his rage by turning him into a monster; or as General Thunderbolt Ross ( Tim Roth) sees it, the ultimate fighting machine. From Bruce Banner’s hiding place ( in the poverty stricken hill slums of Brazil), to his past university campus and finally to New York City, General Thunderbolt is determined to capture Bruce despite the efforts of the lovely Betty Ross (Liv Tyler) to save him. For those interested, Betty Ross is both Bruce’s lover and General Thunderbolt’s daughter. In my opinion, the excellent acting by Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, and Tim Roth combined with some great special effects overshadowed Marvel’s last sensation Iron Man. However, there are some who think The Incredible Hulk is plagued with too much romance. - Henry
