The Incredible Hulk 84% A (PG13)

Tagline: This June, a hero shows his true colors

US Rated PG-13 for violence actions, scary images and some suggestive contents.

I love action movies. I love comics. And director, Louis Letterier, have made an excellent job in combining the 2 to bring this Marvel comic's green monster, The Incredible Hulk, to the big silverscreen. He even addressed the mind boggling question as to why his purple pants are still on after the transformation. This movie brings about a bery nice mixture of family, love, politics, crisis management, and overall action, thriller and suspense. All the ingredients of a good comic book. And Louis Letterier successfully transformed it into the silverscreen for us movie buffs to enjoy.

Edward Horton (as Dr. Bruce Banner) and Liv Tyler (as Dr. Betty Ross) gives a good performance to depict the hardship and frustration of their torn and forcefully separated love-life. And the fighting scenes between Hulk and Abomination really kept me on the edge of my seat.

I don't need to say more, just like the speechless Incredible Hulk in this movie, I'll just let the movie speak for itself.

Oh, it's a worthy mention that Stan Lee (creator of various Marvel Comic characters) and Lou Ferrigno (original Hulk for the 1978 TV Series) had special cameo in this movie. And Robert Downey Jr (Tony Stark in Ironman) has a special cameo too. So watch out for them!
