The Incredible Hulk

This movie screamed "Sequel!" from the moment Edward Norton's eyes turned bright green. Let's ignore the obvious inconceivabilities. What bothers me above all is inconsistency...

1. Is it apparent to anyone else that when cars/large vehicles/anything containing humans flips over, regardless of how much force is involved or what the actual impact should be, it is completely up to the plot's discrepancy whether or not those inside live? This can be seen in "Blues Brothers 2000" in the scene near the end when dozens of police cars suddenly flip, without any real reason other than it will give the protagonists more time. Similarly, it seems very convenient that those who live are the ones who will further the plot. This may seem like an obvious tactic, but a lot of producers/special effects teams have been rather careless, especially in this movie.
2. Since this movie is largely invested in special effects, the plot would stand better on its feet if there were more details or character stories to make the audience more involved in the characters themselves. In other words, if there were no special effects, would this movie be able to stand on its own? William Hurt is quite talented, as is Edward Norton, but I'm not a big Liv Tyler fan. Also, the occasional attempts at humor were all but lost on the audience; the moments leading up to them were so anxiety-ridden and exciting that the audience wasn't prepared for them. They were also rushed through; there wasn't time after to really let them absorb.

Tim Roth, an actor who frequently plays the antagonist/nemeses, was a strong point of the movie. I was a bit disappointed to see that most of his character was seen as his metamorphed self (ironically enough he played Gregor Samsa in the 1987 adaptation of Kafka's "Metamorphosis").


SPOILER ALERT
1. I was thoroughly disappointed and a bit disgusted by Ross's insistence that the Hulk not kill the white beast (does it have a name?) and this did nothing to make me like her character more. If the producers are retaining the character for a sequel, they might have done a better job.
