You won’t like me when I’m…hungry
My side quest going through each of the MCU films on the road to infinity war in continues. This blog series is a little deviation from usual sound related content. A little bit of fun to fuel my excitement for Infinity War which comes out in May.
Incredible Hulk is the second film in the MCU. Not made by Marvel studios, like Iron Man, it was made by Universal who own the rights to make solo Hulk films. In tone, Incredible Hulk is a lot more serious than most MCU films, but it does have it’s funny moments and in general I actually still find this a fun film that I reckon, gets a bad wrap.
One problem with this film is, it does not age well. Sometimes the Hulk looks so, so bad. I partially think this is due to the time but also if you compare our current MCU Hulk to this one, it’s night and day. Pun intended, Hulk looks incredible from Avengers onward.
The Villain I feel is actually quite strong, the character development of Abomination is handled very well and gives a solid reason for Blonsky’s path to becoming a monster. Thunderbolt Ross is also handled very well, William Hurt is fantastic in the role. Side note, bringing him back for Civil War was awesome.
One of my main joys watching this film, is the hints at Captain America, the world building this film does just by dropping hints about the super soldier program and actually using a version of the super soldier serum (note: it’s a bad version/attempt to recreate it, not the actual serum).
I feel although it has some flaws, it’s still a solid entry in the MCU, but let’s face it, competition is tough and it will most likely end up at the bottom of the pile.
