Ok, let's look at the advantages of the movie (that's possibly the wrong word):
--Ang Lee directing
--A great lineup of actors like Jennifer Connely and Nick Nolte
--Cutting Edge CGI
--Music from my favorite composer, Danny Elfman
--A Stan Lee cameo as well as Lou Ferrigno
Added on to all of the above, I'm also a huge fanboy. Ever since I saw it last night, I've been contemplating why I didn't like this film. Though I'm still not quite sure, I think it might have had a little bit to do with those constant split screen techniques constantly going on. Sure, maybe it worked for two seconds, but then it just got annoying. If I wanted multiple angles, I would have gone and rented Timecode. I also think it might have been due to the graphic violence. This sounds really wierd because it all seems just as bad as something like any of the other comic films. I think especially when {{SPOILER}} he sucker punched that dog in its unmentionables. Actually I'd say that whole scene was too much. {{END OF SPOILER}} I guess the last possible way to contemplate it is that it was just plain BORING. The Hulk comic is a pretty basic concept. A guy gets mad and turns into a green goliath. But in the movie they made it more complicated than it had to be. Ang Lee attempted to make the movie more like an actual comic, but the problem is I don't think he's actually read too many comics in his life. Incidentally, he didn't catch the mood too well. Overall, I'd just suggest this as a rental.
3/10
