An impressive blockbuster that does exactly what it says.
December 19, 2010
Bloodier action than other comic book adventures.

Rather than go to the trouble of crafting a dramatically satisfying conclusion, The Incredible Hulk" blows the audience off and takes the air out of its previous solid work by ending with what is essentially a shameless trailer for the next Marvel movie.

A more satisfactory adaptation of the spirit of Stan Lee's Marvel character.

A very standard summer actioner that delivers reasonably well, if straight down the middle, on audience expectations.

It won't change your life but you'll walk away smiling.

The climax is a bit of a yawn, but most of what precedes it is vigorous and sharp.
