Not necessarily the lowbrow bubblegum movie you'd expect, the Hulk is instead a movie with substance and content. Hulk is not rampaging across a city in the first ten minutes, and any whiny child expecting that is going to disappoint themselves. The pacing is more similar to that of the original Superman movie.

Hulk has a message, and is not a movie I felt like I had seen before.

Of particular note, this movie sets a benchmark in scene transitions. Combining these with multi-panel images (similar but developed from those of '24'), any viewer is in for a visual feast.

Drama. Action. Excitement. Emotion.

The most beautiful, inventive transitions I've ever seen.

This movie has it all.

Is Bana the star? It's tough to say, Nick Nolte does an amazing job as David Banner. Sam Elliot puts in a sterling performance as General Ross. Connolly is not at her best, but she is quite captivating just the same.

As for the Hulk? Forget people complaining about the CG; it's a league ahead of the likes of last summer's Spiderman, and a much more powerful movie to boot.

Go and see it. You won't regret it. You will experience a movie you don't expect, and every 5 minutes you will see something you haven't seen before.

Hulk is a blast - there's two styles of gameplay, one is stealth-avoidance as Banner and fast-paced over the top action as Hulk.

Hulk gameplay is definitely the star, with Hulk able to smash just about everything in the world. The box claims "if you can see it, you can smash it" - when you play it, you'll find out that's true.

Hulk smashes walls, cracks the floor and can use pretty much anything as a weapon to fight with.

The voice acting from the cinema crew really adds to the experience. There are also a bunch of extras such as movies and photo galleries from the movie, so all in all it's a nice package.

Most striking are the graphics. The game has a snazzy visual style which looks somewhere in between the movie and a comic - it's really quite different.

Once you've gone through the game you can play through again as Grey Hulk, the wise-cracking version of the Hulk from the 80's comics. This feature really makes playing the game a different experience and extends playtime once you've been through the game.

My take: 8.5/10, recommended!
