Channel Awesome I think Hulk (2003) was as cheesy as it can get

[@jordantomblin2302]

I actually don't think it's that bad of a movie. I see why people wouldn't like it, but, I personally enjoy it. Much better than the 2008 movie...

[@ThePonderer]

I actually quite like this movie. No, it's not fun (outside of the few action sequences that ARE present, which I enjoy), but I find the ideas too potentially fascinating to really care. I think people would gravitate to it more if it came out now, what with all the folks clamoring for comic book movies that deviate from formula.

[@TheJedwardo]

It's um ... good

[@Odinsday]

Lou Ferrigno's cameo in The Incredible Hulk was awesome.

[@b3rz3rk3r9]

In all fairness, Ang Lee isn't a bad idea for a director of a Hulk film. The Green Giant's best stories usually have a focus on either being super destructive or explore Bruce and Hulk's psychological dealings. The best one, imo, the Wprld War Hulk Saga, does both. It has Hulk and Banner sort of fuse into one being in order to survive the planet of Sakaar, and even be joined in one purpose after facing a painful death of someone close: the punishment or death of the Illuminati. It's not that Hulk is angry at this, but that Hulk AND BANNER are BOTH joined in a shared hatred of his former colleagues over that death, and are one in action and thought to wage war; hopefully for one last time. It's essentially Marvel's first attempt at a true Epic, with how many changes the characters go through, how expansive both Earth and Sakaar are, and from how much Hulk and Banner grew. I say this because Ang Lee is ideal for the emotional depth of Hulk and may even be best suited if given a producer or helping hand that can assist with an added Horror aspect that really makes Hulk's stories pop. The main issue, to me at least, is that Ang Lee had too little understanding of the characters and didn't do his homework as effectively as when he did Crouching Togdr, Hidden Dragon. Which explains another, seeing as it's the _execution_ of the ideas that screwed this movie over, and not the ideas themselves.

"He's the angry-est critic you've ever heard, it's the angry hulk-hating nerd."

[@mazel34]

I get people appreciate that it tried to be more than just an action movie, but effort and creativity alone doesn't equal good. When people say "all they do is talk," they don't mean they don't like dialogue or character development, it means they want good characters and dialogue. Avengers was mostly dialogue and character building with two big battles bookmarking it, the Dark Knight Trilogy was characterized by long conversations about morality and philosophy, Jessica Jones had drama on infidelity, guilt, abuse, and sexual assault and was lauded for it.People didn't just sit through those scenes to just get to the action, in fact most love those scenes when they are well written, well acted, and well integrated into the rest of the film. The delivery is flat and monotone, and the writing is unoriginal and nonsensical, and even the direction obviously fails at times, (the scarf scene,) and thus the heart of the film fails.

[@thefox1901]

Thank you. I'm tired of the people defended this film acting as if anyone who criticizes it is a huge Michael Bay fan. Personally, I feel like people who are defending this film are more in love with what the film attempted to do than the actual execution. I love deep psychological narratives and intellectual discussions in films. However, Nolan's films and many of Marvel's tv series handle the delivery of these elements in a more cohesive and interesting manner with more emotionally charged material and far better performances. Ang Lee's Hulk is a series of dull scenes and deliveries edited together in an awkward way. Its attempts to add depth to the Hulk are far undercut by how clueless this film is at presenting its own themes and characters.

[@AssassinKillua15]

[@JamUsagi]

@@gracekim25It doesn't need to be a fully animated movie to have an animation-like style. Just look at Detective Pikachu - it has an entire world in the Pokemon style, and it meshes that perfectly with the live-action format. (the Pokemon's models are actually real-life objects too) Let's say instead of overusing comic book transitions and special effects, the Hulk movie went for the harsh black shadows and powerful action poses that comic books are famous for. That could actually work extremely well as a style, would translate well into a movie format and probably make lighting any CGI models a lot easier.

[@MAnuscript421]

I think Ang Lee was trying to focus on the tragedy of the Hulk. That's fine and gives way to some interesting thought provoking ideas, but there needs to be balance. You need to add humor, actual acting (these performances are incredibly bland, and these are decent actors), more action (It's the freakin' Hulk man!!) and, by God, control the scene changes. I know it's a comic book movie, but, good lord these transitions are really distracting. The only good thing about the movie was Danny Elfman's score. And that's my two cents on the matter.

[@jernie9384]

[@Volvagia1927]

​@@jernie9384 Humour doesn't necessarily mean MCU-ish. Hulk humour, if its there at all, should be more Doctor Strangelove/Sunset Boulevard than the Joss Whedon/Ben Hecht feel every other MCU movie seems to be aiming at.

[@clarkkentwithglasses4759]

@@anikmonette2140 i guess, you could have rick jones for some levity. But, bruce banner is a messed up dude. Making him funny and the destroying the mystique of the character is not something preferential to me. Look at the avengers movies. hulk nothing but a joke and a gorilla? what is that about? . At the sametime, Look at the current hulk comics run. It is absolutely horrific. A good hulk adaptation is yet to happen in live action,in my opinion.

[@TheGrayMysterious]

Honestly, one of the reasons I like this film even despite all the flaws pointed out is that it's the only Hulk film that was willing to try and experiment. No, it doesn't always pay off and it definitely runs too wild with the surreal shit and melodrama, but it's definitely trying to do something mature. Hell, given the advent of more serious, character-driven superhero works like The Dark Knight and even the comic-book style editing of Into the Spider-Verse, you could even call the movie a bit ahead of its time. The Hulk stories have spent a long time exploring psychological trauma and using the Not at All Jolly Green Giant as a metaphor for said trauma, so to see a film that does attempt to pay justice to those themes, even if it doesn't succeed as much as it stumbles, is really admirable to me. Plus, I'd like to see MCU Hulk try and hammer-toss a 100-ton Abrams tank half a mile into a sand dune.

[@nickbritten8132]

It wasn’t as bad as this guy made out

Edward Norton was approached to play Bruce Banner, but turned it down, as, despite being a fan of the Hulk, he didn't like the script. He later accepted the role in "The Incredible Hulk (2008)." The frog is fake. The crew pumped air into it to make it look like it was breathing. Ang Lee said that the opening montage is like an overture to an opera.

He's learns he's not so bad after all. Bam, done. Hire me Marvel. I guarantee you it would be a box office hit and be the first Hulk movie successful enough to spawn a complete Hulk trilogy with the same actor. :P EDIT: MARVEL EVEN HAS SOMETHING FOR THIS.
