Incredible Hulk

I went to watch Incredible Hulk with a friend this evening. I have to admit I'm not that great a fan of Marvel heroes. Incredible Hulk was something I remember watching on TV when I was a young child. The big green thing who screams, runs and jumps around the places, and also seems to save people in dire situation. Of course the thing that went through my mind then was why his clothes always split apart, with the exception of his trousers. The same thought went through my mind today while watching the movie. *Chuckle!

The new improved movie of Incredible Hulk is rather entertaining. He still does the same screaming, jumping and running, with no exception. He still destroys a lot of buildings and structures during his fights. That's the simple charm of Mr Hulk.

The part of Dr. Elizabeth Ross (ahem Liv Tyler) running after Bruce Banner in the rain, begging him to go with her is such a little boy fantasy! Steamy steamy steamy! Now now, don't get too overly excited. It was only for like perhaps 30 seconds screen time with her crying and kissing him. Betty (short for Elizabeth) is the only person who seem to be able to calm and control Hulk as demonstrated in a couple of situations throughout the movies. Its the basic Hollywood movie secret, LOVE! Now say "Aahh.... " and end with a long sigh!

Overall, the movie is rather interesting and exciting. It makes you wonder what our hero and heroine will be up to next, especially up against the new evil hulk Emil Blonsky (the Russian). It does keep you on the edge of your seat. Violent is the only word I can use to describe most of the scenes. Then again, this is Incredible Hulk we are talking about. Without violent, we might as well be watching a little kitty instead.

I have to add Edward Norton is so cute! My kind of guy! I just want to squeeze him tight in my arms and tell him, everything is alright. He has this meek vulnerable side which makes you want to protect him and give him shelter. I can't help it that I have a soft spot for men with such look. Whereas Eric Bana (the 1st Hulk) is really most of a piece of meat, erm I meant beefcake. *Grin

Rating: 4 out of 5 fairy clouds. This movie is worth watching for Incredible Hulk fans. The plot is rather simplistic and predictable. It is really just eye candy with the pretty boy and pretty girl. Ahh... *melting away!
