Hulk (2003)
Abominable

Warning: Spoilers
*******SPOILERS GALORE************ I cannot possible enumerate in less than 1,000 words the many ways this movie p*ssed me off. First of all, the script is wretched. Overlong, sluggish and full of anime-style melodrama with no point. The first ten minutes of the movie presents us with a virtually indigestible lump of backstory that attempts to disguise itself with lots of graphics but is really just enormously dull and unnecessary. Any decent writer could have worked all this in later without boring the life out of the audience right off the bat. Then we are presented with 40 MINUTES of tedious talking heads before anything cool happens at all. And let's talk about the stupid "comic-book" style wipes and frames shall we? I don't like popup on the internet, why would I want a movie full of it? Notice they didn't show any of that in the trailer, and there's a good reason why: it sucks. It distracts you from the movie and half the time you can't even see what's happening because of all blinking, fading, sliding garbage on the screen. Oh, and the CGI Hulk? He looks like a giant plastic booger. A decade after Jurassic Park and nobody but WETA can manage to make CG look real. (And even WETA can't do it every time.) Amazing. I can't believe the studio let this turkey out at all. The script is horrible, the actors (with the exception of Connely) are laughable, and Ang Lee's direction is a total mess. A complete waste of time.
