Our Review
The Incredible Hulk (2008) is a action and sci-fi film from Movies. It runs about 112 minutes. It premiered on June 13, 2008. Viewers rate it 6.6 out of 10.
What The Incredible Hulk Is About
When research scientist Bruce Banner is blasted with a gamma ray bomb during an experiment gone wrong, he develops a dangerous alter ego — a mean, green monster known as the Incredible Hulk — who emerges when he gets angry.
What to Expect When You Watch
It runs about 112 minutes and it leans into its action/sci-fi roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the film leans on Edward Norton, Liv Tyler and Tim Roth to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, Tim Roth, William Hurt and Louis Leterrier lead the cast.
Key roles include Edward Norton as Bruce Banner / Hulk; Liv Tyler as Betty Ross; Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky / Abomination; William Hurt as General Thaddeus Ross; Louis Leterrier as Director.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of action and sci-fi have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Movies’s other originals, a 6.6/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2008 and carried by Movies, it lands hardest with action and sci-fi viewers.
How The Incredible Hulk Compares
If The Incredible Hulk lands for you, the next stops are Avatar: The Last Airbender, Attack on Titan and Star Trek: The Next Generation, which share its action/sci-fi lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.

On the whole The Incredible Hulk is the kind of film that rewards a patient watch, with Edward Norton and Liv Tyler doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its action/sci-fi roots, It has held up since 2008 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
The Incredible Hulk is a safe bet for anyone already inside the action and sci-fi lane, the audience score holds around 6.6/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 6.6/10. Watch it if you want action/sci-fi you can settle into.
