I tend to classify movies in the following three categories:
1) See it at the cinema and buy the DVD when it comes out.
2) Wait till it comes out on DVD (usually buy it rather than hire it).
3) Wait until it comes out on the telly.
So, when I saw “The Hulk” advertised I elected it would fall into number 3 category. Yesterday it was shown on Sky so I decided to watch it. What a load of old rubbish. To my mind it has no redeeming features. Poor story line, bad acting, predictable and, most surprising, awful special effects.
It was a cross between “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” and unfunny “Shrek”. Just like the TV series, he’d turn into this enormous 60 inch waist monster, but when he wakes up the bottom of his trousers are ripped, but they still fit him perfectly around the waist. I thought it was so corny, I had to pinch myself that it wasn’t a spoof at times.

cksed. if you want to see her without her kit on, get Requim for a dream, but then she looks terrible in that IMO, good film tho.
I actually remember liking this film, the intergration of CGI, although far-fetched, was some of the best I'd seen at that time (riding on the back of the completetly pants JB
ie Another Day). The main critism my mates had was that he could throw the tank and stuff so far - it's a cartoon 
The acting wasn't that bad, I've seen much worse in more accepted films but agree it certainly isn't the finest for some of the actors in there (it has Nick Nolte for mothers sake).
Then again, SpiderMan 2 is total dross with a load of teenage angst thrown in for bad measure. SP1 was a good film, the sequel played to much on the characters for it's own good.
Fully agree that X-Men make a very good films

Sorry but going to go against the grain on this one, I loved it! if taken in the vain of a comic book style bought to the screen it was great, love the imaginative transitions created going from scene to scene, thought the effects were incredible (specialy the facial expressions of the Hulk, neither life like nor pure animation (like Toy Story), but they had acheived a real mix between real and comic which got me curious.
Anyway, think I would have loved it whatever though as he was (with Superman) one of my two favourite super heroes (even had the shorts!)
not a thought provoking film but good light hearted entertainment IMO

Yep, I have to go against the grain on this one as well. Never understood the 'Watch a fantasy film, and then harp on about its lack of reality' argument.
You could drive a bus through the loopholes in S1, 2 Hulk, or for that matter almost any SciFi. Its just another way of justifying not liking it.
For me lou ferrino was a waste of space as the hulk. Anyone can lift up a bit of polystyrine house and do the Mr universe pose, but it had none of the indescriminate anger of the marvel comics. The film captured the anger, and thats better than any Hulk rendition before. More comicbook than reality but the closeups of the animated Hulk face were state of the art.
