Movie #305 - The Incredible Hulk

The Incredible Hulk
2008 - Rated PG-13 - 1 hr 52 min
Director: Louis Letterier
Starring: Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, Tim Roth, William Hurt, Tim Blake Nelson, Ty Burrell, Christina Cabot, Lou Ferrigno

First thing's first. This Hulk movie isn't as bad as the Eric Bana one.  I mean, Stan Lee shows up with a cameo in this one, so it's the officially endorsed version.  But Edward Norton, of all people, steps into Ferrigno's shoes?  Riiiiiiight.

But it's not so bad, because they frame the character around Norton's slighter build.  He's a nerdy scientist who falls victim to his own work.  Tortured, troubled, and struggling to either cure himself or learn to control it.  I mean, he can't even make out with Liv Tyler, so it's gotta be tough on him.

In other news, the dad from Modern Family (Ty Burrell) plays Tyler's other beau.  Hey, Phil!

So it's not great but it could be worse.  That's the best I got.
