When a colleague hits on a cure, Banner heads back to the States and his microbiologist girlfriend Betty (Liv Tyler) - and straight into a trap set by her army general dad (William Hurt), who’s been obsessively searching for Banner for the last five years; he's been hoping to turn the green beast's gamma-radiated blood into a weapon that can be injected into test subjects for the army’s “Super-Soldier” program.

From there, the rest of the movie is essentially an extended chase, as Banner finds his way back to Betty in America to continue his search for a cure and the military always nipping at his heels.

When the action drops in, it's blatantly CGI but with more real-world heft than anything in the last half of Indy 4. The Hulk himself looks more steroidal than superheroic, as if the expressive beast from the first film had been replaced by a crazed wrestling star.
