Review
Awful special effects
and stereotypical characters lead the way in this unengaging, noisy and
insignificant superhero movie. Of course, to make a good film about The
Hulk, possibly the least interesting superhero in the history of comics,
will always be a challenge, but it has to be said that Ang Lee never
comes close to rising to the occasion. He forgets that the superhero
genre is about fun, and this film certainly isn't enjoying itself. With
such uncharismatic action as Hulk presents, it doesn't help much
that the human drama is filled with tedious dialogue and bleak
characters with ditto acting. Eric Bana never finds his way in the lead,
Jennifer Connelly mimes more than she acts and Sam Elliott is terrible
as Connelly's father. Only Nick Nolte seems to have some fun with this
film. Something I don't expect its viewers to have.
