Movie Review: The Hulk

Rated PG13
Starring Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, William Hurt

The premise of this movie is just like the old tv series. Science experiment gone bad puts too much gamma cells in Dr. Bruce Banner's blood, which causes him to turn into the green monster when his heart rate goes above 200. His love for a colleague makes him want to cure his ailment.

Becky's Rating: B+

Ok, I'm not really that familiar with the tv series, truth be told. I am old enough to remember it on tv, but young enough to remember it was a bit too scary for me. So this movie was kind of an introduction to the Bruce Banner character. I felt that I understood the movie line pretty well, although there could have been a few added moments of dialogue to fill in some gaps. The plot wasn't very complicated and was fairly easy to follow. There were a few questions left open at the end, obviously prompting a sequel of some sort to come next. Loads of action, ample violence. Not a movie for little kids, though it continues to disturb me that there were two small children that I saw in our theater that night. Please don't take your small children to this movie! But otherwise, not a bad flick.

Bottom line: If you like super hero action, don't miss out.
