Product Description
Universal Hulk - HD-DVD
The larger-than-life Marvel SuperHero the Hulk explodes onto the big screen! Aftera freak lab accident unleashes a genetically enhanced, impossibly strong creature, a terrified world must marshal its forces to stop a being with abilities beyond imagination.
Amazon.com
When the Hulk gets angry, his movie gets good, so you wish he'd get angry more often. Accepting this challenge after the triumphant Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, director Ang Lee has created an ambitious film, based on the Marvel comic created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, that succeeds as a cautionary tale about mad science and traumatized children coping with legacies of pain. That's the Hulk's problem: After accidental exposure to gamma radiation, scientist Bruce Banner (Eric Bana) turns into the huge, green, and indestructible Hulk when provoked, and repressed childhood memories fuel his fury. Hobbled by the obligatory "origin story" (to acquaint neophytes with the character's Jekyll-and-Hyde-ish fate), there's room for little else in a sluggish film that struggles to reconcile Lee's stylistic flair (evident in his visual interpretation of comic-book technique) with the razzle-dazzle of a megabudget franchise. What's good is good (Jennifer Connelly essentially echoes her role from A Beautiful Mind, and Nick Nolte is righteously tormented as Banner's father), but the movie's schizoid intentions remain largely unclear. --Jeff Shannon

Not As Bad As People Say November 15, 2008
I thought the cast for this film was really good. I also liked how the director shot certain parts of the movie as if you were reading a comic book. Despite the positive elements, there were two main things that dragged it down. They were the wierd-looking super dogs, and the disappointing water creature that the father becomes at the end. The special effects were also lacking throughout. This one is decent, but the newer Hulk movie is far superior.

Hulk is the biggest disaster of 2003. Not sure why director Ang Lee would take this movie on, thank god for Brokeback Mountain or I would have thought he was losing his mind. Eric Bana and Jennifer Connelly are talented actors but they look so uncomfortable here, it's painful to watch. Haven't seen the new Hulk, I heard it's better than this one. I just hated this film, too long and boring.

The only thing incredible about this Hulk was my disappointment. What a letdown - a boring letdown - and a wasted opportunity. I expected more from Ang Lee. The only saving grace was Jennifer Connelly's amazing cleavage, which never disappoints. Thank you, Jennifer.
 Hulk..... October 30, 2008

Despite everyone else not liking Ang Lee's version of The Hulk, I-for one- loved his take on the Green Goliath. Sure, the movie has it's flaws but I've got to give him props for giving us something different than we were expecting. True, he took some liberties with the source material but, overall, it was true to the comic book. Anyone who's read the Hulk comic book will know that General Ross spent alot of his time going after the character in the comic book. Ang was dead-on in picking Eric Bana for the role of Bruce Banner, in my opinion, as he's a dead-on ringer for the comic book Bruce Banner(minus glasses, of course). I give him credit for fleshing out characters and developing the story so we'd understand things alot more as to why Hulk is on the run all the time. This is a comic-book movie in the truest sense of it. If I had any gripes, whatsoever, it would be that there wasn't as much action in the movie as I'd like it to have. Action as in Hulk battling and generally wreaking havoc. His battle with his father towards the end wasn't much of a battle at all. Other than that, I thought Hulk was a pretty decent movie. People need to quit ragging on this movie so much. It wasn't THAT bad.
A soulfull sci-fi movie... October 26, 2008
... Thanks Mr Lee. I was among the ones who were disapointed in 2003 when The Hulk had been released on the theaters... There were too few action scenes during the first hour and i had some difficulties to understand what Ang Lee wanted to demonstrate... Maybe The Hulk wasn't the typical pop-corn movie i wished to see that day! So, i had mixed reaction about this one depicting a father-son conflict.
Anyway, i was willing to give this film a second chance on dvd and, to that date, i don't regret my choice at all! Ang Lee has managed to totally actualize the hulk myth. He doesn't want to serve us the same old cliches most of its detractors have already seen dozens of times... The ideas developed in The Hulk (genetic experiments and its consequences) are modern days issues. The acting is very good and convincing (Banner's girlfriend played by Jennifer Connelly is touching and gives that movie a touch of romance). The music theme is also highly captivating and, to my opinion, plays a significant role... Last but not least, the way The Hulk was realized was ground-breaking (probably too much at that time...).
Finaly, we are in front of a movie in which we can discover "something" new inside each time we're watching it, unlike so many block-busters... The Hulk is simply more than a standardized sci-fi movie... Can't wait to see it on blu-ray disc!
