Academy Award® nominee Edward Norton stars as scientist Bruce Banner, a man who has been living in shadows, scouring the planet for an antidote to the unbridled force of rage within him: the Hulk. But when the military masterminds who dream of exploiting his powers force him back to civilization, he finds himself coming face to face with his most formidable foe: the Abomination – a nightmarish beast of pure aggression whose powers match the Hulk’s own! Also starring Liv Tyler, Oscar® nominee Tim Roth, and Oscar® winner William Hurt, The Incredible Hulk is “steeped in action and spectacular special effects” (Claudia Puig, USA TODAY) and delivers a mind-blowing final showdown that can only be summed up with one word...INCREDIBLE!

Critics Consensus: The Incredible Hulk may not be quite the smashing success that fans of Marvel's raging behemoth might hope for, but it offers more than enough big green action to make up for its occasionally puny narrative.

For the Win (USA Today)

Cory Woodroof

While it pales in comparison to Ang Lee’s thrilling 2003 Hulk, Edward Norton’s lone venture into the MCU as the angry green guy was a perfectly suitable introduction for the character.

The "forgotten" MCU feature is now available on Disney+, and it remains an interesting if flawed vehicle for Edward Norton that might have taken the Avengers saga in a very different direction.

It's the first time the character has ever looked truly impressive onscreen, and every action scene is explosive and has real power behind it, with every blow feeling strong enough to crack the earth wide open.

A brooding Norton acquits himself fine, and there's a thrilling chase through a Brazilian favela, but there's little tension and the underwhelming CGI leaves the battling behemoths looking like shiny plasticine figures...

A perfectly fine "popcorn muncher", but the CG monster fight at the end of the film hasn't aged all that well. Still more good than bad, mind you...
