If you're going to let people like "princessleia912" influence your decision to watch this movie, then you're going to miss out on the best comic to movie adaptation thus far. The aforementioned reviewer made the uneducated comment about PCR not being around in 1965 when it's obvious the movie never took place during 1965. If it was supposed to be 1965, then Bruce Banner (in the movie) would be pushing 42 when he first becomes the Hulk. I don't think so. It's more believable that he was in his twenties - which is plausible because the PCR machine was invented by Mullis in 1985 (which is twenty years later, not thirty - obviously math was not a prerequisite at the lab Miss Leia worked at). After re-watching the film I found absolutely no time reference. Anyway - don't you think a top secret government lab would have access to advanced technology before the public does? Besides - it was a movie! If you're going to nitpick - then you should hate almost every Hollywood movie ever. If you're going to down a movie because of its lack of biological accuracy - then shouldn't you feel equally miffed about all the people who get blown many feet backward when shot by hand-held firearms? That's physically impossible. So are the laws of physics to be overlooked? I think "princessleia912" needs to take elementary general science again. I really wish people would think before they posted comments about movies here.
Anyhow, you're reading this because you want to learn about the Hulk movie aren't you? Not to read the idiotic ranting of someone who thinks they know something (princessleia912). So I'll give you my take on the movie now.
I really enjoyed it. Sure it seemed to drag for just a minute, but the movie more than made up for it with the ton of action it delivered at the end. Although there was 45 minutes of character development to contend with - the last hour or so is pure action-packed Hulk-smash goodness. "Depicting the military as evil" was pretty much the theme in the original Incredible Hulk TV series - so to bring up that point is just wrong. If you liked the original show, then this movie will blow you away. If you're a fan of the comic book, you'll love this adaptation. With so many crap translations such as Daredevil and Spiderman, this movie truly surprised me by being extremely faithful to the look and feel of the comic. The CG was awesome and as good or better than anything I've ever seen in a movie - and I'm extremely picky when it comes to CG use. If you're going to talk badly about the CG in this film - then you surely must hate the CG in films such as the Lord of the Rings trilogy, which in my opinion was not an ounce better than this film. ILM handled the eye-candy marvelously. To whoever said The Hulk didn't look like Eric Bana - what movie were you watching? You obviously downloaded the pre-production screener off the internet or something. They couldn't have made him look anymore like the actor who played Bruce Banner without pasting his face to the Hulk's body. This movie was expertly directed right down to the excellent transition effects that take place between nearly every major scene in the movie, giving the whole thing a very comic book feel - much more so than ANY movie ever made.
I don't want to spoil anything for you or set your expectations too high, as obviously some people are stricken with bandwagonosis. So I'm just going to let you decide - but do yourself a favor and don't let some of these movie thieves, nitpickers, Hulk-haters, and wannabe-scientists impair your judgment of this excellent film. I give this movie a 10/10 for eye candy, and an 8/10 overall.
