OK - so i saw Incredible Hulk today and I'd say i agree with most of the reviewers. Its better than the Ang Lee version - but not great (no where near as good as Iron Man or Spiderman). I liked some of the little fanboy flairs (I'll avoid the spoilers but there are some great ones and the now famous iron man cameo is priceless).

The main problem is the writing - and since ed norton apparently took over the script I blame him. Many of the lines aren't just clunky but they just clang out of the actors. I think part of this problem is trying to make the focus on the tragic Bruce Banner character. This could work but doesn't here and most of us just wanted to see HULK SMASH.

The other problem is the c.g. Hulk - he just looks like a cartoon character and I think the problem is not just in the technology but in the way Hulk is shown on-screen. He just looks odd.

But, all that said, i did enjoy the film (Tim Roth was great and the action scenes were pretty cool). And i'm really looking forward to the Avengers build-up (although I'll be honest that I really can't see a THOR movie - I just can't see it not looking silly - but who knows).
