went and saw the incredible hulk starring ed norton, liv tyler, tim roth, and william hurt. another marvel comics film (they seem to be coming out with heaps of them at the moment) about a superhero with problems. this one i have to say is much better than the spiderman series, and at least on par with x-men (i haven't seen iron man yet), and probably better than the last hulk film (i only saw parts of that and can't really remember it). from what i've read, it appears they tried to move away from the last hulk film a bit, and more towards the comic books, either way, this film was pretty good. though it is a little confusing because they changed the origin story (i guess they may have been forced to because of the generation gap) to something different from the comics.
basically, ed norton is bruce banner, and he is on the run from the military, while trying to find a cure for the hulk inside. eventually, the military finds him and hunts him down, but he manages to escape, and finds someone that may be able to help him. the rest of the film is the military trying to capture him while he tries to find a cure. the final battle scene is pretty cool, imagine if you were in the city one night, and these giant monsters appeared out of nowhere and started fighting 
.
though i'm not a big fan of special effects, they were pretty good in this film, starting with the hulk (although his feet looked very flat at times), the fight scenes, and the military attacks. i'm sure there will be a sequel, as well as some crossover film(s) with other marvel comics characters involved, let's just hope it doesn't get too corny. i like the hulk as a superhero, big, brawny, no brains, lots of destruction, and he's green!!
