      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    After a dose of gamma radiation, Dr. Bruce Banner (Norton) is afflicted with a condition that when he is angered, turns him into a violent terrifying green entity referred to as The Incredible Hulk. Forced to live his life in the shadows to avoid the warmongers who wish to exploit his dangerous alter ego, Dr. Banner searches the world for an antidote to reverse the effects of the gamma rays. Bruce Banner will not be in hiding long when KGB Agent Blonsky (Roth) exposes himself to a double dose of the same gamma radiation that created The Hulk and morphs into a larger, more destructive creature, The Abomination. Based on the Marvel comic book by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. (Stacey Pendry)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD looks impressive, with sharp details and deep black levels. Shadows are defined well, giving the picture a noticeably dimensional appearance. The color scheme is wide, with bright, bold hues that pop from the screen. Colors do appear slightly oversaturated, though, giving it a somewhat unnatural appearance. Contrast is also somewhat hot, especially noticeable in the fleshtones. Edge enhancement is subtle enough to not be a distraction, and while compression artifacts can be noticed at times, they too are not a distraction. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #62 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review is the only place to go for no-nonsense evaluations of the audio and video qualities of a DVD before you drop your hard-earned cash for it. In an industry where the subjective is usually described in the most arcane manner possible (to the exclusion of the unwashed masses), WSR's clear and objective-as-you-can-get reviews give me the information I need to make purchasing decisions confidently.
