Not having taken in many of The Marvel comics phenomenon (But certainly being aware of all the central characters of each and their plight),I find that with each of these new screen adaptions of the superhuman beings that entertained us in the 70's, I can suspend all supposed "in" plot holes that fanatics may hold against these films for not substantiating the original works story line or characterisation.
An observation of Ang Lee's directional talents seem to inject a potent degree of emotionality into these impossible fairy tales (a'la Crouching Tiger) to make the characters plights shine true in a realistic manner.It's important to explore the inner core of any character's emotional state,it can in some ways redefine one's already questionable opinion of faithful characterisation.
The lengths to which Bruce Banners turbulent past and even more turbulent future are explored provide some of the high points of the film,The atmosphere as Bruce and Betty explore their devestated past home town trying to realise clues of Bruce's Jekyll/Hyde past make for atmospheric gloom on the way to finding out the truth.
Some other advantages of this films success include the cinematography layout which in places depict scenes of conversation and climatic situations in scrolling comic book caption style.Also the imaganative delve into the theoretics of scientific mayhem saturating the screen.(I assure the exploding frog was not one of these sequences)
Now down to the main subject..The Hulk himself...He is inclined to be as ginormous as he is depicted in this film.(After finding an old issue of the Hulk this evening and seeing his explosion into a fit of rage on the cover,I was convinced even further of the success of Ang Lee's vision of The Hulks towering presence).It needed to be done this way (endless criticisms aside from the die hard types.)Lou Ferringo was fine as the original,But The Hulks capabilities are more convincing when he is of superhuman size.
The action and CGI scences in the film are amazingly exceptional (Not to be easily impressed by such visionary virtualities)and had my pulse racing on a few occasions.The Hulks battle with a group of mutant dogs and his total bone crunching demolition sprees were an absolute rip roaring experience,both for the eyes and ear..
A few cute little gimmicks and ironies are also present in the film **SPOILERS** The Presence of Stan Lee and Lou Ferringo exiting the Lab upon Bruce's arrival at the beginning of the film discussing "security Issues".Another little chuckle was gained from Betty Ross's declaration of her constant involvement with "emotionally insecure" types,Her role in a Beautiful Mind sprung to memory,almost mirrored here in so many ways.
Over the years i have been constantly disappointed with the many "CGI" films on offer and the funny thing is i am now starting to appreciate them,righ t when the rest of the general public are starting to find these excursions tired (See Matrix Reloaded).
Overall the fine performances,tight story line and startling pace make the Hulk one of a kind...Recommended
