Even given the fact that it is difficult to imagine visually how a person would become The Hulk, the transitions in The Incredible Hulkdoes nothing to help. The computer generated graphics looked last generation. The Hulk character is often flat, lacking any significant distinctions of light and shadow. The villain is equally unvaried. The two make The Incredible Hulk feel cheap and in places, downright awful.

Some of the dialogue may cut it in a comic book but can't be said out loud without sounding as natural as polyester wigs. "Is that all you got?" Yes, Mr. Villain, it is all I've got. You have maxed out my allotment of stupid lines in one movie. It would be best if, when writing the dialogue, Zak Penn had a few of his friends over to actually say the lines out loud and see if any of them laughed out loud in his face. I suspect there would be an endless night of laughter and the next day would be full of rewrites, Potentially saving the audience from the dull and creating a polished script.

Edward Norton and Liv Tyler are supposed to be over the moon in love with each other but their performances could not send them over a cow. Their chemistry is so badly mixed it couldn't blow the top off a third grade science project volcano!

There is nothing special about The Incredible Hulk. It doesn't even get the heart pumping. The Incredible Hulk may be a comic book best left in paper form.
