The Incredible Hulk feels very different from most of the MCU movies that came later. It's darker, more serious, and Bruce Banner spends most of the story running away rather than trying to become a superhero. I actually like that approach because Edward Norton's Bruce feels like a man genuinely afraid of what lives inside him.
El increíble Hulk se siente muy diferente a la mayoría de las películas del MCU que llegaron después. Es más oscura, más seria y Bruce Banner pasa buena parte de la historia huyendo en lugar de intentar convertirse en superhéroe. En realidad me gusta ese enfoque porque el Bruce de Edward Norton se siente como un hombre que realmente tiene miedo de lo que lleva dentro.
I also enjoy the relationship between Bruce and Betty. There is something sad about watching them reconnect while knowing that Bruce can lose control at any moment. It gives the movie an emotional side that sometimes gets forgotten between all the destruction.
También disfruto la relación entre Bruce y Betty. Hay algo triste en verlos reencontrarse sabiendo que Bruce puede perder el control en cualquier momento. Le da a la película un lado emocional que a veces queda olvidado entre tanta destrucción.
And then there's Abomination. The final fight is pure monster-versus-monster chaos, and honestly, sometimes that's exactly what I want from a Hulk movie. It isn't the deepest MCU film, but it's much more entertaining than I remembered.
Y luego está Abomination. La pelea final es puro caos de monstruo contra monstruo y, sinceramente, a veces eso es exactamente lo que quiero de una película de Hulk. No es la película más profunda del MCU, pero es mucho más entretenida de lo que recordaba.
I still prefer Iron Man from that same year, but The Incredible Hulk deserves more credit than it usually gets. It's strange to revisit this early version of the MCU and realize how different everything was at the beginning.
Sigo prefiriendo Iron Man de ese mismo año, pero creo que The Incredible Hulk merece más reconocimiento del que normalmente recibe. Es extraño regresar a esta primera versión del MCU y ver lo diferente que era todo al comienzo.

I first watched this movie as a child, and to be honest I could not remember much of the action except the Hulk himself, I have also grown so familiar with the current face of the hulk that I forgot that the person who acted it in 2008 when the avengers had not yet assembled was Edward Norton. If I must be honest, watching it again, I think he would have made a better character moving forward than Mark Ruffalo who ended up replacing him. When I decided to watch every bit of the avengers, I never knew I was going to see something that I now see watching it all in a sequence and that alone is fascinating. It just shows that Marvel planned every bit of the story with the plan of bringing in the avengers and it took them over a decade to tell the story.
The incredible Hulk story was darker than that of Iron man, He was a product of scientific experiment that to him was wrong. The fact that the military wanted to use him as a weapon made Bruce (Edward Norton) run away and stay under the radar for over 5 years. He lost everything including his reputation as a scientist because the military was after him and would do anything to get their hands on their most prized possession. They saw him more of a weapon to be used than a human to be understood and all he wanted to do was shut down the monster. You know before now I didn’t really understand why Bruce hated being the Hulk, but after understanding this movie I finally realized why. He could not allow himself to feel anything because it could trigger the Hulk to come out, even having sex at that point became an issue because he could not allow himself to get too excited. He was powerful, but it looked more like a cause.
Another mission the military had was to make more of him, but I guess they quickly realized that it was hard enough to control one hulk, and giving that power to a soldier would become a two edged sword as it is almost impossible to control the hulk's form. Bruce only had control because of the woman he loved, the other soldier Emil Blonsky who decided to willingly go through the experiment wanted power to control, and when he got that power it was harder for him to control because there was nothing he was so emotionally attracted to (My guess). But then, this just shows us the power of love, even a monster can be good if they can find love, where everyone saw a monster in Bruce, Betty saw the man she loved and that was all he needed to stay in control. This was a real sci-fi and action movie and it is something worth rewatching.

Time to go back to the movie that is not actually a Marvel movie. We are in a middle of a plague so it's not like there is anything better to do. As soon as that Universal logo shows up, you know it is not exactly a Marvel , even though the Marvel logo shows up next. It wasn't as bad as I remembered, but it wasn't a Marvel masterpiece either. It was not as good as any of the other phase 1 movies though. The Incredib…More
