I know I've said this before, but buy some stock in Marvel. No, this isn't an insider trading tip, it's pure fact. The company's value jumped a nice 20% when Iron Man hit theaters and, now that it looks like The Incredible Hulk is going to be another hit, we should expect another jump.
Unless of course you're too young to make such an investment -- hell, I'm almost too young -- which means you're just going to have to watch other people make money.
The Incredible Hulk Gets More Positives
More positive reviews for The Incredible Hulk have surfaced online and I figured one might as well point out a couple of them.
ReelViews
For five years, Marvel has been trying to figure out what to do with one of the biggest potential franchises of its universe. Ang Lee's Hulk proved to be a dud with fans and producing a direct sequel was as unlikely an alternative as altogether forgoing additional Hulk movies. So the decision was made to "re-imagine" the character, which is a nice way of saying that the 2003 feature would be ignored. The Incredible Hulk is a more traditional superhero movie than its predecessor and should please those who want their not-so-jolly green giant served with helpings of action. This film provides less talk and more smashing.

If the first ''Hulk'' film (directed by Ang Lee and released in 2003) is the ex-girlfriend, then the newest take on the comic classic, ''The Incredible Hulk'', is the wife.
You know what I'm talking about - You were never completely happy with the ex-girlfriend (it goes without saying, she's the ex-girlfriend) – though at times she did satisfy – and in the back of your mind, knew there had to be something better out there. When you did find what you were looking for, your put a ring on her finger. The wife is someone you want to spend as much time with as possible; someone that you can appreciate, adore and love. With her, you're content. She is it. Ang Lee's feature version of the classic Marvel Hulk comics, starring Eric Bana as the computer generated trunk, was occasionally satisfying but mostly disappointing – and like that former flame, you knew something didn't click the longer you spent with her. You'll find contentment with ''The Incredible Hulk'', a wholly-satisfying couple of hours that'll enchant you from it's first frame.
