The Incredible Hulk (2008) Starring: Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, Tim Roth, William Hurt, Tim Blake Nelson, Christina Cabot, Lou Ferrigno, Martin Starr, Ty Burrell Director: Louis Leterrier Rating: NR Category: Action / Thriller Studio: Universal

Opens June 13

The Pitch: Leterrier -- with the help of screenwriters Zak Penn and Edward Norton -- tries to make people forget Ang Lee's 2003 "Hulk" with a movie that plays more to the title character's, er, strengths. Same setup as before, though -- a scientist (Norton) with a fearsome alter ego, in love with the daughter (Tyler) of a mouth-foaming general (Hurt). The villain this time around will be very familiar to fans of the comics -- it's the Abomination. Fasten your seatbelts.

The Buzz: When people aren't too busy snickering about Marvel rebooting a franchise that just started five years ago, they seem to be genuinely geeked about "The Incredible Hulk." Whether they're geeked enough to see it less than a month after "Iron Man," however, may be another story.

Trailer Highlight: N/A

Bottom Line: This "Hulk" is bound to do more smashin' than the last one -- but balancing all-out raging violence with a storyline people care about is tough to do. Marvel's had decades to flesh out these characters -- can Leterrier do it in two hours or less?
