The Incredible Hulk

The angry green guy is back to smash and bash in "The Incredible Hulk." We sent our TBO.com Street Team to check it out and share their thoughts.

"Love story, war story, and science fiction fable, 'The Incredible Hulk' should appeal to almost everyone. The special effects are indeed special, with convincing actors and a believable story (if logic and intelligence are suspended for two hours).

"Edward Norton, as Dr. Bruce Banner, gives a strong portrayal of an outcast scientist attempting to control his anger, and inner monster. William Hurt, as General Ross, portrays a worthy nemesis and is better than ever. Blood and comic book violence are excessive, accounting for more than half of the movie."

Courtenay O'Connell, Palm Harbor

"Edward Norton stars as Bruce Banner, a guy you don't want to make angry. Solid action sequences propel a simplistic plot of 'boy turns green, boy runs away from girl, boy meets back up with girl, boy has a huge fight (not with girl), boy runs away again.' Laughs pop up throughout, including fun cameos and a joke about pants.

"The opening montage seemed confusing and unnecessary, and I expected better from this lineup of actors. Norton looked unenthused; William Hurt came off as uninterested; Tim Blake Nelson felt way over the top."

Don Smith, St. Petersburg

"The story line was pretty unbelievable. I understand it was based on a comic book so you're supposed to get lost in unreality, but it was difficult to do so. Thank God Edward Norton was in it, because he is at least eye candy.

"The special effects were pretty bad. There were even blurs in parts of the film where I could tell that it was all computer generated."

Ashley Grant, Tampa
