I think that they'll have less to talk about this time because Ang Lee has taken most of the issues out of their hands. In other words, where previous films have hacked and slashed at storylines and continuities and cherry picked for the most dramatic or compelling aspects of a comic book series, Ang Lee took in what the Hulk was all about and basically gave us his vision of HULK --- and told us THAT, or his version of what the HULK means --- and what a fine vision/version it is

I suppose that some of you would like me to cut to the chase and rate the film, I would place it in between the two best of the latest bunch. In other words, behind X2, and somewhat in front of Spiderman.

I think that where this movie gets beyond its counterparts, and perhaps boldly dare I say, it pushes the boundaries of the genre further is in its pacing. The pacing is highly, highly fluid. In fact, I read some review where they were talking about how it "reads" (I suppose, views) like a comic book. Your eyes are taking in all of the expansive vision of Lee's movie, however, he gives you most of the story visually --- and the dialog is compressed to to being minimal and only to get points across to carry us to the next scene --- what happens next, what happens next? — the essence of seriality in comic books. His use of frames onscreen serve both as a visual reminder of the original comic form, but also as some kind of underlying visual-mind training of how to watch the film (in terms of helping your mind organize the story) --- sounds like psychobabble, yes, but I think that's the effect that is happening while you watch

I don't think I'm going to get too deep into spoiler territory today. One of the really exciting things about the movie besides this almost revolutionary style of filming it is that Ang Lee gets it right about the Hulk. The Hulk, the comic, is a dynamic, powerful, energetic book --- often with heavy duty emotional undertones. The movie really captures this so well, it's very impressive --- at times its almost sensory overload, actually after the film we both felt as if we were stomped on a few times by Mr. Green

Here's one minor complaint: the audiences know that movie is about perhaps the outer limits of science and ethics. However, the long and drawn out explanations of the science and the underlying technology does nothing but buzz in your ears (and dull your senses in a bad, boring way) --- honestly, in words, it doesn't convey the same as perhaps seeing heated amphibians blow up (to get your point across), if you know what I mean
