Review of Hulk

Hulk (2003)
6/10
More TALK than SMASH!
20 June 2003
As a Hulk fan, I expected The Hulk to be on par like the rest of the recent super-hero action flicks one example "DareDevil" but came up a little short as far as timing. I understand they had to explain the story of Hulk but the beginning started out a drag and lasted all the way until finally in the middle of the movie where the comic book action at last kicked into gear. Just like the first "X-men" movie where they had to explain the existence for a handful of characters but in the Hulk this is one man for crying out loud, get to the action already! For the CGI, the Hulk does indeed look convincingly real. I'm glad they decided to go with this perspective rather than try to fit some pro-wrestler into a muscle suit or use green body paint, phew what a disaster that would've been. The action was just like I expected, right out of the comic book, very Hulk-like intensity, Hulk breaking and smashing things to pummeling evil villains to bits. The movie itself reads just like a comic book, showing dream sequences to split-screens to the dramatic positioning of the characters. I give applaud to Ang Lee and the crew for doing their homework. Like I said before, the only thing I hated was waiting for the Hulk to come alive, and it took way too long. Hopefully the sequel will be more exciting with a super evil villain for Hulk to play with. I'm a huge Hulk fan and I know this is just the start but overall 6/10.
