The Incredible Hulk (2008)

Ed Norton channels his inner Bill Bixby. He gives a solid and understated performance as the troubled scientist with the anger issues. It really does feel like the spiritual successor to the 1970’s TV series of the same name, even teasing us with a short musical cue. Sadly, the story gives him very little to work with after the first half. It changes direction but offers nothing and no one worth caring about. I stuck it out to the end, but the urge to hit stop was a compelling one.
