The Incredible Hulk parents guide

Strong violence, which is more than most TV-PG titles carry. Beyond that, mild language and nothing scary.

Our estimate: fine from about 13, higher than the TV-PG suggests, because of the violence.

During an experiment gone bad, radiation turns a scientist into a raging green behemoth whenever he becomes agitated. Unable to control his transformations, David Banner searches for a cure as he crosses the country, fugitive-style, with a dogged tabloid reporter on his trail.

It leaves things open rather than tying them up.
