The Incredible Hulk, starring Edward Norton and Liv Tyler, opens today – but is the new Marvel film worth a look? How are the reviews for The Incredible Hulk?

A quick peek at Metacritic.com gives a quick rundown of The Incredible Hulk – overall, the movie scored an average of 62 (Generally Favorable Reviews) based on 25 film critic reviews and scored an average of 8.3 out of 10 among 19 user reviews. Here are some of the critic’s reviews:

The Hollywood Reporter: “Iron Man” has more wit and style, but Hulk is a neat thrill ride with an intelligent script by Zak Penn and smart, well-paced direction by the French director of “The Transporter” series, Louis Leterrier. ”

ReelViews: “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.”

TV Guide: “The dialogue is minimal but sharp, the pace swift and the action sequences suitably loud and brutal.”

Washington Post: “The result is a classic comic-book hero quest that, while not entirely novel, hews to its own rules and conventions with dignity and artfulness.”

Entertainment Weekly: The Incredible Hulk is just a luridly reductive and violent B movie — one that clears a bar that hadn’t been set very high.”

Roger Ebert: “By the time the Incredible Hulk had completed his hulk-on-hulk showdown with the Incredible Blonsky, I had been using my Timex with the illuminated dial way too often.”

The New York Times: “A middling superhero movie! I wish I could say that was incredible.”

    this new Incredible Hulk is a lot more fun than the first one with Eric Bana; as usual Ed Norton has gravitated to a “split personality” role…
