December 13, 2009Good but not as great as it could have been. It tries to achieve too many good things and fails, though it is artfully done and, for the most part, interesting.

September 25, 2009Hmmm, I liked the way it was shot, a bit like a comic but the Hulk itself looked soooo crap! I don't remember the Hulk jumping ridiculously high, or being that big. Spoilt by stupid computer effects. A big green bogy!

July 18, 2009Poor film, very uneven and hard to follow. The effects are strange, they can look good but then they can look bad. The idea of the movie to look like a comic with separate panels was brave and kinda worked, its probably the best thing in there. Bana was a bad choice though and re...( read more)

March 8, 2009"You're making me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry..."
This is a hard one for comic book fans. The Incredible Hulk is one of the most, I'm not sure if this word is the right one to explain, fascinating characters in the Marvel universe.
Now, after my third or somethin...( read more) -
January 1, 2009Ang Lee is such a good director/writer, so this was a...well, it just was...
OK, I can appreciate the background information...the film explores the origins of the Hulk, which is an important factor for this Marvel Hero considering how far apart he's naturally set from his fello...( read more) -
December 28, 2009good effect, was interresting to see the hulk portrayed as a more powerfull figure that in the tv series

December 26, 2009"Even now I can feel it, buried somewhere deep inside, watching me, waiting..."
Say what you want, but I like this movie, with all its art house approach and, yes, great special effects. Thought provoking with interesting visual flair, I still think Hulk is ...( read more) -

December 19, 2009Scientist Bruce Banner has, to put it mildly, anger management issues. His quiet life as a brilliant researcher working with cutting edge genetic technology conceals a nearly forgotten and painful past. His ex-girlfriend and fellow researcher, Betty Ross, has grown tired of Bruce...( read more)

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
A thinking person's movie with precious little for anyone to think about, except for a green giant smashing things. full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Schamus and his fellow screenwriters have taken the most pompous elements of superhero comics -- the humorless archetypes, the italicized declamations -- and inflated them until they nearly burst with... full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Ang Lee has boldly taken the broad outlines of a comic book story and transformed them to his own purposes; this is a comic book movie for people who wouldn't be caught dead at a comic book movie. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
Incredibly long, incredibly tedious, incredibly turgid. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
Hulk is the lumpiest amalgamation of sci-fi and psychological drama since Steven Soderbergh's misfired Solaris. full review

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
The Hulk has enough super-sized thrills and surprisingly affecting dramatic weight to make it the year's most profound popcorn extravaganza. full review

March 24, 2008It's funny how the attempt at mixing genuine, emotionally impacting drama and comic book superheroism displayed here is almost a prototypical form of what was done (much more successfully) in Batman Begins- the only real flaw is in the disproportional concentrations of each element, and in the filmmakers' insistence on keeping them distinctly separate.
Not to mention the sheer miasma of gut-churning angst, which never really dies down... -

July 10, 2007Being a big superhero fan,when I saw this in the bargain bin at walmart-what the heck? Why,oh,why didn't I pick the Terminator or the Ring sitting right next to it? I wasted at least 10 dollars on something I watched once.

April 15, 2007I'm a fan of the Hulk comics and this movie was a very big disappointment for me. I have no problems with Ang Lee's direction. He understands drama. The comic panels were a good idea for this film and the desert battle scenes were pretty cool. But the story... It is very obvious that James Schamus (the writer) knows close-to-nothing about the comic series. Well, I take that back. He knew that the Hulk was green. I'm hoping that the "remake" will be what this movie should have been.

August 27, 2006This movie is different than other Marvel Comics blockbuster in a way that it tries to be believable and focus more on story and characters with fewer action scene (similar to Batman Begins I'd say). With that in mind, it's a good movie and each of the action scene are pretty neat. First problem is that the story could have been better explained (I heard there's an edition with deleted scenes added that helps it) and second is that the dad actor is pretty bad IMO. Still a good go, not as bad as the first theather reviews wanted it to be if you're open for anything. Oh and also, the ending suck! What's with the cloud travel BS? You'll see. Anyway by that time, I felt like I already had my share of entertaining.
