While “The Incredible Hulk,” a revisiting of the Marvel figure only a few years after Ang Lee’s psychology-driven version, moves with gratifying speed and craft, it’s likely that there were some deeper, perhaps even ponderous passages that hit the cutting-room floor once the studio managed to change the locks and keep star-uncredited co-writer Ed Norton out of the editing bays.

With Tim Roth, William Hurt, Liv Tyler, Tim Blake Nelson. (Ray Pride)
