Review of Hulk

Hulk (2003)
1/10
Please, let there be no sequels
26 June 2003
As if they needed yet another comic book turned into a movie, The Hulk sauntered into theatres. And despite the crummy special effects, the slow and listless dialogue, and a running time that seemed far too long and pretentious for a movie like this, it still opened with a bang. Let's hope it doesn't last. But what actually made this movie so bad? If it wasn't for the overwhelming marketing blitz that subconsciously motivated you to watch this film, then obviously the curiosity of a CGI Hulk intrigued you. Sadly, it would have been better with a guy painted green than a CGI cartoon character. I thought I was watching a Pixar movie, not some live action film. Even that last comment was degrading for Pixar. And of course, the big bad government seemed too cartoonish and overused to make it a believable enemy. Let's face it, this movie was nothing more than some overblown episode of some dull and repetitive anime that happened to include live action elements and wooden acting. Let's hope this movie just tanks, so we won't be tortured with yet an unnecessary sequel.
