The Incredible Hulk story has done the rounds, and this latest instalment had all the basic plot elements. Experiment goes wrong. Man becomes monster. Goes on the run. Big bad ass Team America hunts him down with the typical shoot first and ask questions later approach. Hulk Smash.
However, this latest adaptation also had some extra little gems to help it shine. For the fan-boys, references to Captain America, S.H.I.E.L.D and Iron Man will have them giddy, whilst cameos from Stan Lee and the original Hulk will keep them smiling and a failed translation attempt by Banner causing him to say "Don't make me hungry, you wouldn't like me when I'm hungry" will get the chuckles.
For the slightly less hardcore, simpler pleasures can be obtained from the mix of emotion and action, along with explainations of why the Hulk's pants don't burst and one of the finest sex scenes in comic book movie history.
Best Hulk film to date, but hopefully not as good as the next one.
