I have three knocks against this: 1) the CGI is downright primitive; 2) the overuse of oh-so-clever transitions and wipes and other editing effects (wouldn't have been so bad in smaller doses); and 3) Eric Bana really doesn't pull off the role. He isn't torn or conflicted or angst-y, he's flat. It wasn't awful, but it was meh.
Flawed by an extra ending (Nick Nolte not being that engaging as a villain), Hulk nonetheless has some great directorial ideas and eye-opening effects. Manages to get at the core of what the Hulk is about.
It's a bit more dull than the usual Marvel movie but still enjoyable. The split screen/screen in screen shots get annoying and feel old fashioned though. Acting was really good :)
Really good superhero movie! Waaaaaaay better than the 2008 "Incredible Hulk" movie. If you like the comics, you'll probably like this movie! (Well, I did.)
Don't forget to look for the Stan Lee cameo! ;)
I look at all the thumbs down and wonder if it's mostly for the poor CGI, because the movie was quite good. I think people wanted more of an action movie. As a Hulk comics fan I thought this captured Hulk perfectly. It is a brooding, lonely and sad comic. I guess I am in the minority but I far prefer Ang Lee's over the Incredible Hulk with Ed Norton.
Underrated... a lot. I enjoyed it. I really liked it; one of my favorite superheroes movie. Much, much better than "the incredible Hulk". With a good story and rhythm, a nice and disturbing music, good special effects, the cast was good- but yes, I think it's better Edward Norton than Eric Bana, but he was okay-.

My favourite superhero movie yet, because it's not 08/15-superhero-action-garbage like the rest, but a really good drama with great characters.vonk76
I do not understand why people prefer the newer one to this. It's really good.danisanna
