The Incredible Hulk: Incredible Chase

The Incredible Hulk (2008) another comic adaptation loses power as it progresses and overall is just another popular blockbuster. But the first exciting chase through the narrow alleys of the favelas of Rio and in a soft-drink bottling plant is brilliant. Bright primary colors rendered richly by the dying evening sun and by street-light, narrow lanes, varied camera angles, turbo-charged editing, and a brilliant staccato score, are melded into a visually stunning and viscerally exciting cinematic experience.
