Hulk (2003) directed by Ang Lee

Written by John Turman, Michael France, James Schamus

Starring: Eric Bana, Jennifer Connelly, Sam Elliott, Josh Lucas, Nick Nolte

Synopsis: Bruce Banner, a genetics researcher with a tragic past, suffers a lab accident that makes him transform into a raging, giant green monster when angered, making him a target of forces seeking to abuse his power.

Did I watch it when it first come out? Nope. I’m not a Hulk fan.

Highlights: the credits scene is cool, as is the comic book look editing.

Bruce’s father being the villain is a nice little twist. Usually, you’d expect him to be trying to fix his past mistakes, but no, he just wants to steal the Hulk’s powers.

Little things that stood out: it’s Jin from Lost!

The Plan: Banner Sr was trying to create genetically-modified super-humans. Not very successful.

The Other Stuff: overall, I found this movie very boring. Kudos to Ang Lee for going for something different than dumb action flick, but I wasn’t into it.

Also, I don’t think the Hulk was very good. His shade of green was unconvincing.
