Incredible Hulk- Tomahawk Extended Edition, The

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.

I see this edit more as a proof-of-concept that there is a better movie within all the footage available for Incredible Hulk 08 than this being that better movie. Many of the scenes added enhance character development and make plot points clearer, but not all of them need to be included or included in their full form (much of the added Blonsky/General Ross footage sticks out in this way). The added scenes of Banner talking to "Mr. Blue" in Brazil also bother me since the restored footage has a different GUI on Banner's computer chat than the theatrical footage does, but that's probably minor.

All in all, I hope someone (maybe myself?) will one day tackle this film again using the structure of this edit as a guide to find an ideal "middle ground" between the too-short theatrical cut and this.

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.

The 2008 Hulk reboot improved on the 2003 film in several areas. The origin story hewed closer to the comic book original, and Banner closer to Bixby's TV interpretation we all could emote to.

Now Tomahawk has improved on the 2008 film. The added scenes and reworked opening allow helpful character development and make us more invested in the characters. This is absolutely the go-to version!

Visual editing is flawless. Audio has one recurring flaw: dialog is overpowered in places (in the forum Tomahawk explains this is baked into the original). Narrative editing is impeccable.
This edit is only SD, but the quality is good enough to not detract on a big screen.

One minor narrative change could be to use The Consultant as post-credit clip. That would make explicit that Shield is watching Banner, which gives a nice continuity into the Avengers movie.
