Incredible Hulk (2008) Movie Review
As a bonus, longtime fans will get to see their other favorite classic Marvel characters such as Doc Samson and The Leader and even Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark (Iron Man) in a cameo at the end of the movie.
The Incredible Hulk is rated PG-13 for sequences of intense action violence, some frightening sci-fi images, and brief suggestive content as so may not be suitable for young children.
Expect the clash of titans all Marvel comic fans have been waiting for. Incredible Hulk vs The Abomination - with New York city as the battleground! At last we get to see the primal rage of Hulk that is true to its comics origins. Unfortunately, it does not have the same kind of realism as Batman and Spiderman.
Though the Incredible Hulk is not technically a remake /sequel of Ang Lee's Hulk, the movie seems to be an extension of the plot from the first movie.
Though the Incredible Hulk is not technically a remake /sequel of Ang Lee's Hulk, the movie seems to be an extension of the plot from the first movie. The movie opens with the brilliant Dr. Bruce Banner (Edward Norton) looking for an antidote for his gamma-radiation induced affliction so he can settle down with lady love (Liv Tyler). However, he is relentlessly pursued by General "Thunderbolt" Ross (William Hurt) bent on harnessing the power of the Incredible Hulk for military advantage. As if the problems with the army hot on his tail is not enough, Bruce must now decide whether to accept the peaceful life of Banner or become permanently the Hulk so he can save New York city from certain destruction by a monster. To top it all, this unknown beast, the Abomination is even more powerful and terrifying than the Incredible Hulk itself.
Directed by Louis Leterrier (Transporter), this adrenaline pumping action-pack sci-fi monster flick is more exciting than Ang Lee's earlier movie. However, the movie is still draggy in parts as much of the movie focuses on Bruce Banner as a hunted fugitive resulting in a low key presence of Hulk with Edward Norton doing his best to keep the until the last half hour when we have a magnificent battle of the titans.

The "brief suggestive content" is a rather strong though brief prelude to sex scene between Bruce and Betty fully clothed—in a hotel room. There is also one scene of a character barely clothe after taking a shower, and in another scene curls up naked in a bathtub though it is not explicit nudity.
There is some profanity. The "intense action violence" and "frightening sci-fi images" are mostly violence between monster and men with lots of injury and blood. The rampage may scare some younger kids. A dog is shot off camera with a tranquilizer gun. This may upset some kids who may presume that the dog was killed.
