Our take on The Incredible Hulk
Louis Leterrier's 2008 superhero film follows scientist Bruce Banner as he roams the globe hunting for a cure to the raging force inside him: the Hulk. But the military minds who dream of weaponizing his power drive him back toward civilization, where he must confront a new and lethal adversary. Leterrier keeps the pace brisk and the tone leaner than a typical origin story, balancing Banner's fugitive loneliness against bursts of large-scale destruction. It suits viewers who want a straightforward, action-forward comic-book chase built around a hunted man and a monstrous transformation. Fans of early Marvel Cinematic Universe entries will find a brisk, muscular chapter that leans on spectacle and momentum.
