Comments:

Well, now i just realize this movie is a bit more like the previous film at 2003, the point is the same, Banner changed and must avoid General Ross seizure. I think there are many episodes in the comics and also the television, why don't they make it differently? Hmmm...
Ok then, this movie is quite interesting, i like it ^_^. Edward Norton is just perfect for Banner's role, i can't imagine anyone better ^_^. The whole story was dominated by General Ross's effort to chase banner, the duel between Hulk and the monster was quite furious but very short, and at the end he just gave up that easily? This Hulk was very much look like animation, the green television hulk was look even alive (since he was real human ho ho). Apart form that, i think this movie has the same level with Spiderman, quite entertaining ^_^
And to my suprised, they linked Hulk with Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr. showed up in the last part, still played as Tony Stark, he he he ^_^. And i bet there will be Hulk 2 and 3, he he there are many unsolved matters there.

Fun facts:
  • The Incredible Hulk joined Toronto's Green-Screen initiative, to help cut carbon emissions and waste created during filming. Edward Norton had fun using a hybrid vehicle on set.
  • William Hurt, who play as General Ross and his son are big fans of Hulk
  • In the comics, Emil Blonsky was a KGB agent who takes on a scaly reptilian appearance, becoming the Abomination. Louis Leterrier felt that while that was cool, it made no sense considering there was no reptile mix in his origin. So in this film Blonsky's appearance is redefined to have his skin/muscles/bones exaggerated and sticking out all over his body; he however retains pointed ears as a tribute to his original form.
  • 'Tim Roth' signed on the film because he was a fan of "The Incredible Hulk" (1978), as well as to please his comic-book-fan sons. On set, he constantly asked whether this would "be a cool shot" for his kids to see him in. He thoroughly enjoyed playing Blonsky, but found it difficult since to portray Blonsky's over-the-hill state he could not work out; but he hired a personal trainer to assist him in motion-capturing the Abomination's movements.
  • The character of General Ross is incorrectly portrayed as a three-star Lieutenant General instead of a four-start General, yet his name plate still shows "General Ross."
