Hulk,
The Incredible Hulk arrived with an almost completely new cast, a new director and a new writer. I miss Jennifer Connelly, as I don't find Liv Tyler manage to give Betty Ross as much, but for the rest I'm very happy with the changes. Norton is better, but still not the perfect, Bruce Banner, Hurt is better as Daddy Ross, the director, writer and CGI people have managed to do a lot better than in the 2003 version and overall this movie manage to be what it has to be to be a complete superhero experience. So far unmentioned, but one of the important reasons, is Tim Roth as the super soldier looking to hunt down Hulk. That's a brilliant character, and something really lacking in Ang Lee's movie.
The drama parts doesn't really manage to get there in this one either, but more importantly the action sequences works well and the new CGI Hulk is this time around all he needs to be. Hulk is still not portrayed great in cinematic history, but this is such a good attempt it works as the popcorn movie it needs to be.
