Incredible Hulk- Tomahawk Extended Edition, The

I loved the "Incredible Hulk" movie. It managed to capture the pathos of the character, the havoc Banner's split personality plays with his life and the ruin and regrets it brings in it train, and his inability to exorcise the Hulk, as such, or the personal demons that gave rise to the Hulk persona in the first place.

So it is really great to get a fuller film through this fanedit, closer to the best of the Hulk comics and to the Norton vision, and especially since we're unlikely to get a genuine sequel. The MCU project clearly prefers a bright world, and this Banner, and this Hulk, would scarcely fit into a universe where the mythos has been reworked to give us Thanos as a misguided alien worried about environmental limits, Stark's drinking as a humorous quirk, Hank Pym as a great husband, Scarlet Witch as a stable person, Ultron without the genocide of millions in Slorenia, Hulk as a fun guy etc.

Don't get me wrong, I love the MCU.

But this film, this outlier, gives us an idea of the roads not taken, and it does so brilliantly. There is a place for the big, fun Hulk we get in the Avengers, and Ruffalo's affable Banner. But there is also a place for this darker vision, and for restoring it, extending it, and skillfully blending it together in a far better sequence, I thank you.

The incredible hulk is one of the most divisive entries in the entire MCU, with those that consider it either an empty action flick or an underrated gem.
This extended cut brings it closer in tone and pacing to Ang Lee's severely underrated movie and it's not a bad thing as the additional material (even though not all of it is necessary) fills the plot holes present in the theatrical version and grants the story and characters more room for development.
I took a couple of points out due to the video quality of the edit, but overall it's a solid work that does justice to a film that was truncated in favor of commercial interests

Overall, definitely improved the film by adding in the deleted scenes. Especially the opening prologue. Really helps establish the character arc banner goes through and makes the end feel earned and different from his starting place.

This was excellent. I wish I would have downloaded on a dual layer for quality purposes, but the cut was tremendous. This is the movie that we should have seen in theatres. Well done Tomahawk!!

When it comes to underrated Marvel Cinematic Universe installments, I will always go to bat for The Incredible Hulk. I've always loved that film and I still love it today. Edward Norton is still my favorite actor ever to play Bruce Banner and the Hulk. The original Incredible Hulk film is a ridiculously fun, very tightly paced action film with stunning visual effects and a really compelling book at Banner feeling tortured by and conflicted with the mean green beast within. With this fanedit, many deleted scenes are incorporated back in so it can more closely resemble the script Norton wrote and it's absolutely phenomenal. The added scenes are integrated into the story near-flawlessly and they add so much more character and plot development and story depth that makes the events that play out much more engaging and tense. Even the relationship between Bruce and Betty Ross is strengthened greatly here. The opening even features Bruce trying to commit suicide but then the Hulk stops this from happening, an event that's referenced in The Avengers. This is an absolute must-see for anyone who loves the Hulk like I do.
