Plot

After the gamma radiation, scientist Bruce Banner (Edward Norton) seeks a cure to his unique condition, which causes him to turn into a giant green monster, the Hulk, under emotional stress.
Whilst on the run from military which seeks his capture, Banner comes close to a cure. But all is lost when a new creature emerges: The Abomination (Tim Roth).

Opinion

In Hulk, Ang Lee abused of visual effects, portraying a cartoon look alike Hulk, too fake and therefore ridiculous. The Incredible Hulk, its reboot, gave people a more realistic Hulk - as far as realistic a superhero can be - and provided the action to please comic book fans.
The cast also is better than the previous. Edward Norton is great as Bruce Banner/Hulk, giving him inner strength and being able to express his feelings with his eyes only. Liv Tyler is good as Betty Ross, and Tim Roth is a beast - literally - and an amazing villain as Blonsky.

Quotes

Bruce Banner: Don't make me hungry. You wouldn't like me when I'm hungry.

Emil Blonsky: I've had missions go wrong, and seen good people go down, all because someone didn't tell them what they were walking into. I moved on because that's the job, and that's what we do. But this... this is a whole new level of weird, and I don't think I want to step away from it. Sir, if you're going to take another crack at him, I want in. And with respect, sir, you'll need a team that's prepared and ready to fight, because if that thing shows up again... you're going to have a lot of professional tough guys pissing in their pants, sir.
