The Incredible Hulk

Here we are on the eve of the release of the Incredible Hulk "requel" not a sequel or a remake, but something that will quietly ignore the Ang Lee film of 2003. The cast features Ed Norton a decent choice for Bruce Banner (although I did like Eric Bana). The trailers show a lot of chase scenes giving the movie a feel reminiscent of the earlier Incredible Hulk TV show with Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno (complete with similar theme music).

They have added a decent villain the Abomination (Emil Blosky played by Tim Roth) who I will admit is an excellent upgrade from the pseudo Absorbing Man that was played by Nick Nolte in the first film. Let's hope that he does not suffer the same fate as most comic book movie villains. Though it may lack the elegance of the film that Ang Lee (I really did like the comic panels on the screen) made, I am sure the action that everyone thought was missing will be more than made up for in this one.

To all who will see it tomorrow, I hope it is the apology you are looking for by Marvel and that it lays the foundation for more Hulk films. I will post my thoughts on the film after I have seen it (most likely when the crowds have died down).
