Review of Hulk

Hulk (2003)
4/10
What the heck was THAT????
22 June 2003
I have to confess that my expectations were low for the Hulk, ever since seeing the television commercials aired since the superbowl. My expectations, however, were lowered even more with each minute that I watched the movie (and trust me, I felt each and every minute). This film is in DIRE need of editing. The best thing: Elfman's soundtrack. As always, in top form. The worst thing: everything else. The CGI, yes it was okay... but c'mon... make it INTERESTING!! I didn't care for one character. And Nick Nolte... especially at the end... what the hell was all THAT about???? The story would have been better had they left dear old dad out of the picture. We didn't need sappy or sugary sweet, but providing some sense of momentum would have been appreciated. This movie inspired me to do only one thing: rush home and watch Spider-Man on DVD. If there is a Hulk sequel (and I'm sure there will be), I hope that it will be more dynamic in both story and pacing.

How I longed for the days of Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno. In fact, the highlight of the movie for me: Stan Lee and Lou Ferrigno walking together.

Save your money - or better yet, go see masterful story telling at "Finding Nemo".
