Incredible Hulk


Semalam jam 8 g Kluang Parade n tgk cite Incredible Hulk. Jalan cite biase jer..lebih kurang sama dengan cite Hulk 2 tahun lepas..Kali ni ade pendekatan berbeza sket sbb pengarah pon beza...lagi best dr cite lame tu..heheh..kat penghujung kuar Ironman..

Sinopsis:

In 2003, Ang Lee's "The Hulk" got clobbered by most critics and comic-book geeks for beefing up the character development and dialing down the action.

Hoping to streamline this pseudo-sequel, Marvel Studios replaced soulful star Eric Bana with the scrawny, boyish Edward Norton. But the talented actor added cerebral seasonings to the popcorn script and reportedly tried to wrest control of the final edit.

Fans of the comic-book franchise and the cheesy TV series will be relieved that brute entertainment has largely prevailed and that the many inside jokes culminate in a tease for a superhero summit.

Although this lumbering giant breaks no new ground and pales next to the kindred "Spider-Man 2" in the canon of comic-book movies, the action will pacify the purists, and the shred of leftover humanity will feed the fanboys some much-needed nutrients.

The credit sequence compresses the origin story in which Dr. Bruce Banner, belted by gamma rays, turned into the Hulk. At the end of Lee's version, Banner fled to Latin America, and the story resumes with him living in a Brazilian shanty, working in a soda factory and meditating to control the temper that turns him into the not-so-jolly green giant.

But a single misplaced drop of his tainted blood gets Banner sniffed out by his nemesis, Gen. Thaddeus Ross (William Hurt). Not coincidentally, Ross is the father of Banner's lost love, biologist Betty (Liv Tyler).

Violently flushed from his hideout, Banner returns to the United States, where he finds both Betty and Dr. Samuel Sterns (Tim Blake Nelson), a scientist who might be able to cure him. But hot on the trail is the heavily armed Ross and his secret weapon, Emil Blonsky (Tim Roth), a soldier who chose to be dosed with the potion. Under its influence, Blonsky becomes a reptilian destroyer that fans will recognize as the Abomination.

When Banner willingly Hulks out to rid the world of the Abomination, it's the kind of battle that the geeks have been waiting for, a larger-than-life brawl on the neon streets of Harlem that echoes "King Kong vs. Godzilla."

This film was directed by Louis Leterrier, a Frenchman responsible for "The Transporter," so there's not an excess of exposition, and the pricey CGI Hulk at his disposal is more angrily expressive than the mute one employed by Lee.

But scenes with Betty in which the 10-foot-tall monster takes a poignant page from "Frankenstein" don't resonate because the movie's attitude toward the cleft character is confused. If the Hulk is just a big softy who can be house-trained and harnessed to fight evil, then Banner's anguish has little point

Questions of good and evil get further confused in the finale, when the fate of a third contaminated character is simply shrugged off, and a certain newly lucrative superhero makes a cameo appearance that utterly muddies the picture.
