The Hulk Review
by Michael Redman (Rating: 3.5/5)
Certain religious sects and philosophers preach about the dark side of individuals that must be kept down. It's so powerful that punishments from the gods are threatened to keep people in line. Give in to the monster and sin and you go to hell or are...more

What is it with us, ladies? What makes us believe the love of a good woman can fix a bad boy? Is it our innate nature to nurture? To love even the unlovable? Or is it our desire to walk on the wild side, to tame the beast? Whatever the psychology, Betty...more

The Hulk Review
by John Ulmer (Rating: 2.5/5)
In a time when many comic books are getting a big-screen treatment, "Hulk" stands out like a sore thumb. It's not exciting like "Spider-Man," it's not as thoughtful as "X-Men," it's not even as entertaining as the average "Daredevil" was. It has a...more

The Hulk Review

Now that comic-book movies are a hot property again, it was a matter of time before the 15-foot creature known as the Hulk would arrive on screen. The growling, muscle-bound creature with green skin would make Arnold Schwarzenegger blush, and I am proud...more

The Hulk Review
by Richard A. Zwelling (Rating: 3/4)
So the big green guy has finally arrived. Don't expect a story similar to the cartoon and comic books, however, because the newest film from director Ang Lee (The Ice Storm, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon) takes a decidedly different and more tragic...more

The Hulk Review
by Mark R. Leeper (Rating: 5/10)
CAPSULE: Ambitious but ultimately dissatisfying film version of the Marvel comic. A man periodically turns into a not-so-jolly green giant. Ang Lee does the adaptation with ill-calculated sensibility and not much sense....more

Well, Shrek is back on the big screen again. The problem is that it seems that he used all of the money he made from his first self-titled film on steroids. more

The Hulk Review
by Jon Popick (Rating: 7/10)
Its dazzling opening credits might lead you to believe you're in for something truly life-altering, but by the time Hulk's other 135 minutes wind down, you'll probably be wondering what all the buzz was about. While Ang Lee's adaptation of the 1962 Stan...more
The Hulk Review

Eclectic helmer Ang Lee has shown a versatility and talent that makes me think that there is nothing that this man can't do behind the camera. His early family-oriented Taiwan films like "The Wedding Banquet" and "Eat Drink Man Woman" were followed by...more
The Hulk Review

If you have been listening to talk about Ang Lee's HULK, you have heard comparisons to other stories: Beauty and the Beast, King Kong, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the entire Frankenstein sub-genre. Of course The Hulk is a comic book character, not...more

The Hulk Review
by Steve Rhodes (Rating: 2/4)
Save your popcorn money, kids. THE HULK is no SPIDER-MAN. Whereas Sam Raimi's SPIDER-MAN was lively and fun, Ang Lee's THE HULK is slow and ponderous. A think piece more than an action film, it is a pretentious picture that takes itself way too...more
