The movie is a tale of how one apathetic nobody transforms into an unparalleled enforcer of justice. Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy), or Wes, was the most disaffected drone on this planet. His boss and his girlfriend ignore him and everyone believes this disengaged slacker would amount to nothing. But Wes’s clock-punching days end when he meets a woman named Fox (Angelina Jolie). The deadly sexy Fox recruits Wes into the Fraternity, a secret society that trains Wes to unlock his dormant powers. As she teaches him how to develop lightning-quick reflexes and phenomenal agility, Wes discovers that the team lives by an ancient, unbreakable code: carry out the death orders given by fate itself. While Wes starts to enjoy all the strength he now has, he begins to learn what no one can ever teach him: he alone controls his destiny.
The Incredible Hulk (15
Action, Fantasy, Sci-Fi / 113 min. / English
We all get angry but none of us, presumably, transform into giant green monsters when we get irritated. It might be fun occasionally, especially during staff meetings, but the downside is you’d go through a lot of ripped shirts. Running up a huge clothes bill is the least of the problems facing scientist Bruce Banner (Edward Norton). He’s running around trying to find a cure for his monster habit while at the same time fending off the less than friendly advances of The Abomination (Tim Roth), a very upset super being capable of more than matching the Hulk in raw power and chest thumping prowess. Will Banner escape his fate as the Hulk?
