Louis Leterrier's The Incredible Hulk

Thank you Louis Leterrier. You saved the Hulk. More or less by incorporating certain elements from the wildly succesful TV series featuring Bill Bixby, The Incredible Hulk "continues" the disaster that was Ang Lee's Hulk in 2003.

Edward Norton picks up where Eric Bana left off, and does a marvellous job in capturing the spirit of Bruce Banner's tragedy. Notable cameo by Stan Lee, Bill Bixby (from a scene in the Courtship of Eddie's Father) and Lou Ferrigno. There was even a brief piano interlude from the TV series's ending credit theme.

The storyline was good, and more emphasis was given to action while not neglecting the drama (it all comes down to a balancing act of different storytelling elements in the editing room) and coming up with a well packed action movie, which is what the audience of this genre generally expects and wants.

Another extremely good comic book based movie for this year.
