Review of Hulk (2003) by Dann M — 30 Jul 2015

Hulk smash! Ang Lee's Hulk bringing the Marvel comic to life, but it doesn't deliver a compelling adventure. In this adaptation radiation specialist Bruce Banner gets a lethal dose of gamma radiation that awakens the beast within him, leading to a violent clash with the military when they classify him as a threat to national security.

Featuring Eric Bana, Jennifer Connelly, and Sam Elliott, the casting is fairly good. However, Lee undercuts the performances with an experimental directing style that makes the film seem comic like. Despite a lot of solid action, Hulk doesn't strike the right tone and comes off as hokey and disjointed.
