    I don't know why "The Incredible Hulk" didn't do that much better than the original "Hulk" made five years prior. While I initially thought this was going to be a retelling, it turns out to be a direct sequel to the terrible "Hulk" movie, and also manages to acknowledge the events of that movie before going off on it's own path, cleaning up the big mess Ang Lee left behind before delivering it's own goodness. The events summed up in the opening credits tell the whole story of The Hulk beautifully and quickly, before moving on to show Bruce Banner's attempt to supress the beast while living as a fugitive in Brazil. The action scenes are done right, the idea of power is shown very well (with Bruce Banner not liking his alter ego and the villain jealous of it), and by the end of the movie, Hulk is actually established as a hero, instead of a Frankenstein's monster. Very well done and a good job fixing what Ang Lee destroyed in The Hulk.

    good movie, better than the first. lots of action, not as much of the "love story" which i appreciated. back story handled very well, quick and to the point.

    This sequel is much better than the 2003 version of The Hulk. I really liked this one.
