I totally wanted to see this in theaters. I just didn't because of all negative reviews from my friends, now I'm regretting that decision. I rented it on Blu-Ray (Gamma Ray Green!) because I was still thinking about the negative and 3.5 stars reviews out there. Now I'm pretty sure I wanna buy it, as I gotta return the Blu-Ray tonight.

It definitely isn't the best superhero movie this year, I'm sure Punisher 2 will be better and Iron Man and The Dark Knight were undoubtedly the best so far. There's just something incredibly appealing to me when to giants clash in a violent rampage throughout a populated city, smashing taxis and people along the way. I'll get to that later...

The story is a weak point, as it's kinda hard for a new director to superhero movies to nail that anti-cheesy script. [CAUTION! SPOILERS AHEAD!] Abomination (As Dr. Sters refered to him) felt a bit like Venom in Spidey 3. Like he was just smooshed in there to allow an epic fight. The story sure led up to Blonsky becoming Abomination, but it felt... Cheesy. Here is Blonsky, suddenly fascinated by the Hulk. General Ross (whatever the heck his rank is) allows him to have powers similar to the Hulk by giving him the Super Soldier formula. Super Soldier? Doesn't that sound familiar? Og course it does! And as well as it should, as Super Soldier was the program Steve Rogers entered into to become Capt. America. And as everybody knows, Captain America is awesome, Rest His Soul.* At first, Blonsky is the perfect Super Soldier. He's fast, and was able to hold a match against the Hulk, pre-Abomination.** Then addicted to being Hulky and... Super (I'm sure there's something subliminally in the script about steroids), he makes Bruce Banner's doctor friend give him a dose of Banner's blood. That blood, mixed with the Super Soldier Chemicals made him, as the doctor said, an Abomination.

That was pretty much the only weak point in the story  could detect, the rest seemed... Just fine. Not along the lines of The Dark Knight-fine-, just... fine. Not bad, but not awesome as well.  It was definitely funny when Betty and Bruce were about to do it and Bruce's heart rate started rushing and he was like, "I'm sorry, I can't get too excited..." and Betty was "Not even a little excited?".... That made me LOL...

Now onto the fight. It was brutal, to say the least. I just imagined in my head, if Marvel can do this, think what DC could do with Doomsday! Abomination being a bit Doomsday*** like [Protruding bones and all], he was able to stab Hulk's chest with his elbow bone that was sticking out. It made me wince to see the green giant fight desperately to get that Abomination off his chest. They must have killed about 30 soldiers in the whole NYC fight, with Abomination flicking people around and demolishing military vehicles like Megatron in Transformers. [PREPARE FOR HUGE SPOILER] Hulk was halfway to beating Abomination to a pulp, choking his neck thin with a chain [that Abomination first used to hit around Hulk, a pendulum of sorts] and the occasional face smash. It was spectacular, seeing Abomination (Let's call him Bad Hulk for the sake of my fingers) beat around Hulk then Hulk sensing his love's danger, rising to the challenge [By becoming angrier!] and hitting and beating his way to victory. It was also very geek-gasmic, hearing Hulk speak some of his first words from the comics. In the factory (Watch it yourself to get it), he muttered "Leave me alone..." and against Bad Hulk, he screamed "HULK SMASH!" and sent a devestating shcokwave throughtout the earth causing Bad Hulk to trip and the pendulums to smash him all over.

There was another major action scene before that, Hulk against the army at a campus. He demolished them, with the exception of Blonsky**. He was almost defeated, however when the army unleashed what looked like EMP cannons at him, making his muscles ripple, his face contort, and his outrageouesly  heavy form to skid along the grass. Hearing Betty scream, he grabbed his pieces of metal he was using to try and hit Blonsky, and sliced a cannon in half and curshed the other by jumping on it.

The best part of the movie, for me, aside for the fight scenes which are bound to be favorites of almost everybody, was at the end. Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark comes and greets General Ross with comments about the failure of the Super Soldier program and how weapons are more capable in the battlefield... Then tells him about the team. Remember at the end of Iron Man, Samuel Jackson was there, as Nick Fury telling Stark about the Avengers Initiative? Well, that's what Stark is now telling Ross. I'm just not sure if he wants the Hulk or Banner's blood... The comic geek in my says the Hulk, but then why is he asking Ross? 

The Inredible Hulk was incredible, with a notable cameo from Lou Ferrigno as a security guard... Go watch it if you haven't already and it's bound to give a nerd-gasm almost as strong as when you saw Iron Man fight off against Iron Monger and the Escape scene...

*Captain America was assassinated at the end of the Civil War series after agreeing to go peacefully. RIP...

**Blonsky was able to dodge almost all of Hulk's attacks, but at the end of their fight, he got too cocky and tried to insult the Hulk ['That all you got?"] and Hulk, being the high blooded behemoth he is, kicked Blonsky in the chest, sending him spiraling about 250 mph into a tree with a very satisfying *clunk!*

***Doomsday killed Superman in a brutal showdown that ultimately ended in me crying after the last page...
