Scientist Bruce Banner scours the planet for an antidote to the unbridled force of rage within him: the Hulk. But when the military masterminds who dream of exploiting his powers force him back to civilization, he finds himself coming face to face with a new, deadly foe.

The Incredible Hulk may not be quite the smashing success that fans of Marvel's raging behemoth might hope for, but it offers more than enough big green action to make up for its occasionally puny narrative.

'The Incredible Hulk' is lauded for its action and Edward Norton's performance, yet criticized for over-reliance on CGI and uneven pacing. Supporting characters, especially Liv Tyler's Betty Ross, are seen as underdeveloped. The film's tone fluctuates, though it is appreciated for its nods to the original series and comics, and its place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
