     The Incredible Hulk
2008  PG-13  ACTION  1h 52min
CAST— Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, Tim Roth, William Hurt
MUSIC— Craig Armstrong  DIRECTOR— Louis Leterrier  BASED ON— Characters appearing in Marvel Comics

     The title says it all. The green-eyed monster hits the screen with a bang in this thrilling addition to the ever-growing line-up of films developed by Marvel Studios. Edward Norton plays Dr. Bruce Banner, on the run after being struck by gamma rays which have transformed him into a creature of vast destructive power. General “Thunderbolt” Ross, the man behind the experiment gone awry, sends a military squad to South America to collect the fugitive doctor, only to reawaken the beast within. After escaping, Dr. Banner returns to the States in search of a cure for radiation poisoning. Meanwhile, General Ross sets in motion a plan to create his own little mutation: a soldier infused with gamma rays, resulting in accelerating powers as he grows into the terrifying Abomination. Can Hulk channel his rage towards this new enemy, saving New York from destruction? Intense action and effects highlight this action-adventure that truly fleshes out the Marvel Comics anti-hero. Hulk Smash! Final note: This film is in no way related to the 2003 film Hulk.
