I don't expect much from most superhero movies and the last film attempt with the Hulk had left no impression with me. When the opening credits were over I'd decided this film was different. Normally character's origin story takes a fair chunk of the first film but here it was already over in less than five minutes. Many superheroes have problems with their power at the beginning but not many run away from it so affectively as Bruce Banner. The special effects are good... accept when it comes to the Hulk himself where they still haven't managed to get it quite right. There are a number of big fight scenes and explosions but if that's what you're looking for they might be a bit spaced out. I really enjoyed the first half, maybe two thirds of the film, and then it seemed to descend into a typical Hollywood cliche.

I've got Explosions in the Sky playing at the moment. It's sounds great. Despite the occasionally loud volume and fast pace it always sounds gentle on the inside. I hope I can get some more of this soon.
