As far as the acting, Jennifer Connelly has the I'm concerned because I'm in love with a weirdo thing down pat (cf. A Beautiful Mind). Eric Bana ---I believe the hype over Mr. Bana is a bit misplaced, and I do believe the CGI outshined his performance (the Shrek effect or Roger Rabbit Syndrome).

As far as the ensemble goes: Nick Nolte was brilliant, you may think about whether there was an Oscar moment in this one (you'll know it when you see it, trust me). General Ross is played as a genuine hard ass much like the comics, but the Lee treatment comes off more complex (it's almost as if he's torn at times). And of course, Talbot comes off as smarmy par excellence, good work

You want action? This movie will give you all that and more. Effective action. Action that actually serves some greater purpose of moving the story ahead (the Wack Bros. of streaming green fame should take copious notes). Action that shows how unlimited the power of the green monster actually is

This movie perhaps is the next step of the summer blockbuster genre. Action, but not just BLAM, wow --- BLAMM, wow. Prior to seeing this film, I would have doubted that such exists, but this is a somewhat intelligent summer blockbuster, and I am very surprised that it took so long to ever mix the two elements --- BLAMM with brains

I think that the angle that most reviews do not hit on precisely is that this is a great monster movie. It has all the elements of psychodrama and tragedy, of free dynamic energy and deep misgivings, and questions the distinction of good/evil. Whether unintended or not, it is a postmodern Jekyll and Hyde, a cautionary tale about human genetic experimentation (and yes, dysfunctional human relationships)

I enjoyed this movie a great deal, it falls short of X2 probably more in terms of performances from the actors, but that may have been by design. But this one is clearly, the second best of the bunch with elements that push the limits of genre, and hopefully take higher and better results for the next comic book adaptations --- I'm excited --- go see (the) HULK

Our grade:
HULK: A
