Fanedit Running Time:

Time Added:

Synopsis:
At 2 and a half hours including credits, it is now closer to the film that I believe Norton envisaged when he adapted the existing screenplay.

The deleted scenes have been inserted as seamlessly as I could manage with some colour correction and additional score to fill out the soundspace. Additional score has been placed over deleted scenes that didn't have any, and surrounding scenes to help their insertion feel organic.

Scenes that were rearranged from the script in the theatrical version have been placed back into their original context generally surrounded by once deleted scenes.
Intention:
Drawing on the Edward Norton script that is floating around cyberspace, I decided to try and replicate that as much as possible including the removal of the opening credits sequence, with the scenes that it included now dispersed throughout the film in flashback form. In this way, the Hulk's origin is slowly revealed to us, as is Bruce's history with Betty. I happen to love the Theatrical edition of the film, but as efficient as the opening credit sequence was, it basically showed events occurring to characters we didn't know or care about. This is a completely different feeling cut.

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.

Definitely the best way to experience this film, all deleted scenes are integrated really well and are edited seamlessly. The majority of the deleted scenes allow the film to breathe and almost every character benefits from the added screen time, Bruce and Betty get more time together, General Ross gets more of his agenda across, Blonsky gets to show a little more personality and Doc Samson is an actual fleshed out character and you get to see his motives. There’s only 1 comic relief scene I could’ve done without and that’s the pizza delivery to the girls dorm, it’s not much worse than the terrible taxi driver through New York scene though.

The audio in 1 or 2 of the scenes was a little too loud compared to the dialogue but going by a previous review on here it seems the audio was baked in to these scenes. The quality is also a shame however the majority of these scenes were never made available on Blu-Ray.

Overall a much more enjoyable complete film than the theatrical and the complete package is worth the slight audio/visual flaws, the only way I’ll be watching this film in future.

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.

First of all, let me say that this is one of the most satisfying MCU movies. Its dark instead of campy, and there is a gravitas to Norton's portrayal that is distinctly lacking with Ruffalo. I think that is more writing that acting ability, no dis to Mr Ruffalo. This edit takes that original great film and makes it even better. The only thing that holds it back is the video quality, but that is at least as much to do with being SD as it does with the edit itself. The inserted scenes are definitely rougher than the rest of the movie, being strangely brighter or in some cases sort of grey and desaturated. I know that those scenes were not finished to the same caliber as the rest of the film, and with that knowledge, the editor actually did a great job with them. It is a downside and one that I can't completely ignore. If someone were to made an HD recut with this as the blueprint it would be amazing, and a great example of what made the MCU great before Whedon and company made it a gag fest.

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.
