Hulk

Pros: Bana and Connelly, good storyline, interesting take on the genre...
Cons: ... weak CGI sequences and not enough action for a lot of fans...

Since I’ll be going to see Marvel’s The Incredible Hulk at the cinema tomorrow, I thought it would be a good time to venture into the wayback machine to review the big green angry thing’s last screen outing. Directed by Ang Lee, this ...

Pros: Great acting; decent story
Cons: Special effects; pacing is slow; sometimes boring

There is something eerily similar between King Kong and Ang Lee's version of the Hulk. Both are a force of nature, are misunderstood, fall in love with girl, and get attacked by the military. However, one is a towering giant ape reaching to heights of up ...

Pros: The best CGI I've ever seen.
Cons: Too-long opening sequence, weak climax.

When Dr. Bruce Banner is accidentally exposed to an overdose of gamma radiation, something dark inside him is unleashed. He discovers that this hidden side is given form whenever he’s placed under stress and his body transforms, grows, becomes more ...

Pros: Great cast in mostly interesting plot.
Cons: Some slow spots. Some things just seemed out of place and odd.

Many movies based on comic books have been made in the last several years and I have seen most of them. In 2003, Hulk brought the green monster to the big screen for the first time. David Banner was doing research with ...

Pros: Bana and rest of cast; interesting artistic choices and stylized direction by Lee
Cons: Odd pacing; overwhelmingly dark and depressing tone; rushed ending

The Hulk is not a happy guy. Why should he be? He's big, green, angry, out of control and misunderstood. I should have remembered all that from the days when I watched the television version of this Marvel comic book character's story, but that was a ...

Pros: Most of the acting, most of the story
Cons: Pacing issues, Nick Nolte

When Hulk came out in 2003, I wanted to see it but never got around to it. Thanks to the new movie coming out recently, this one was on TV. I set my DVR and sat down to watch it. I knew going in that the movie had received a wide range of ...

Pros: Special effects…
Cons: Special effects, acting

As a young boy growing up in middle, well okay lower middle America, I dined on a regular menu of Marvel Comics. My favorites were Xmen, Iron Man, Spiderman, and Thor. The Incredible Hulk, well he was not a must read, if I came across an issue I’ ...

Pros: Great effects, decent plot, lots of fun.
Cons: A bit slow at times.

In this, the summer of the sequels, it is both refreshing and reassuring to actually be able to go t ...

Pros: the effects, the acting and the extras
Cons: a few particular extras, the ending, the mis-marketed hype

The problem with comicbook movies is the same as the problem with real comicbooks: They expect their audiences to be smart, and that confuses anyone who's not ready. As a culture brought up on the 1960s Batman tv show, most folks think that's ...

Pros: A 5 second cameo by Stan Lee and Lou Ferrigno
Cons: The rest of the movie

The Hulk is without a doubt the worst film I have seen in the last year or so. If not for Gigli, I am sure it would have swept the Razzies. On a polite, child orientated site, I find it difficult to find the right words to describe this piece of stinking ...

Pros: Nice reimagining of the Hulk mythos, great Hulk rendering, gets the allegory right
Cons: Overly melodramatic, distracting directorial tricks, and sure, a bit silly in parts

The Hulk has always been a bit of misfit in the world of Marvel superheroes. He's the most obvious transitory link between Marvel Comic's days as a publisher of monster comics and it's present form as a superhero factory. Instead of going around saving ...

Pros: Eric Bana, Great effects
Cons: Somewhat bad acting at times, a bit boring.

There have been loads of comic book movies recently; from Batman to Spider to Daredevil they’re all pretty much the same. The Hulk has tried to be different from the familiar superhero movies. Although the modern day Hulk comic is undoubtedly super ...

Pros: Great action sequences, superb cinematography, intelligent script and excellent effects
Cons: Requires patience, ending is nonsensical

I'd heard mixed reviews of Ang Lee's take on this potentially catastrophic Hollywood makeover of the Hulk, ranging from the excellent to the thoroughly bewildered. Having now viewed it twice, I've come to the conclusion that it's really not bad at all, ...

Pros: Jennifer Connelly's Presence
Cons: Effects, Directoral Technique, Acting, Plot, Utter Lack of Real Character, Pacing, Music

Wow. Usually, we use the utterance to exclaim something incredible. When we encounter something we cannot believe, when we're trying to describe recent ecstasy and run out of words, these are the positive uses of "Wow!" Then, there's "wow." As in, ...

Pros: The special effects, the story, the action, and style
Cons: The exposition-ridden first half of the film and the hype

This review was written before the release of the DVD, so this isn't a review of the DVD but a review of the movie as seen in theaters. In one corner, we have Ang Lee, highly respected art house director who has helmed Oscar nominated films such as ...
