Critics Consensus

The Incredible Hulk may not be quite the smashing success that fans of Marvel's raging behemoth might hope for, but it offers more than enough big green action to make up for its occasionally puny narrative.

The climax is a bit of a yawn, but most of what precedes it is vigorous and sharp.

Time Out Chicago

Norton makes for a wiry, curious Bruce Banner. But you can tell from the film's tedium-inducing smackdowns that a different philosophy prevailed: the artificial Zen of video-game playing.

Rated: 3/5

Time Out

A more satisfactory adaptation of the spirit of Stan Lee's Marvel character.

For the Win (USA Today)

While it pales in comparison to Ang Lee’s thrilling 2003 Hulk, Edward Norton’s lone venture into the MCU as the angry green guy was a perfectly suitable introduction for the character.

The Film Yap

The "forgotten" MCU feature is now available on Disney+, and it remains an interesting if flawed vehicle for Edward Norton that might have taken the Avengers saga in a very different direction.

Rated: 3.5/5

It's the first time the character has ever looked truly impressive onscreen, and every action scene is explosive and has real power behind it, with every blow feeling strong enough to crack the earth wide open.

The first act was eh, and moreless confusing, the seconed act was pretty good and had incredible special effects, but the third act, OOOOOHHHH the third act, the third act took the cake. Everything about it was beautiful, and made sense. Even the part where hulk said” hulk smash” wasn’t cheesy at all, I was on the edge of my seat the entire time

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

It’s a harmless entry into the MCU. It doesn’t hold up with the rest, but it’s a solid Hulk story. Just doesn’t go above and beyond.
