There we go! This is the Hulk movie that the last one SHOULD have been. I liked how it started AFTER the incident, utilizing it's time to build drama and character rather than dragging it out with a "how it all begun" introduction that we already knew. Edward Norton has been one of favorite actors for awhile now, and he doesn't disappoint. Liv Tyler is also fine as the obligatory hot chick, reminding me once again how happy she should be that she inherited mercifully few of her Aerosmith fathers physical traits. There are a few shout outs to the original series - such as briefly using the famously sad end credit music in the middle of the film, and of course, a smile inducing cameo by Lou Ferrigno (probably misspelled that...). But they did it right, so neither of these Hulk "flashbacks" came across as pandering; rather they were pleasantly nostalgic and even a bit humorous. Some of the special effects still didn't look real, but I guess it is kindof hard to find an actor that's ten feet tall, 2000 pounds, and can throw hummers like they're nerf footballs (I'll be there with a few more weeks of workouts, but until then...).
Anyway, just like the after-credits of Ironman, this movie has an ending that will make comic book geeks wet their pants, indicating that there is at least one more reason to live still ahead in their future.
