The Hulk
- Rating:
- Director: Ang Lee
- Starring: Eric Bana
- Details: US / 128 mins / (12PG).
With more emphasis on the comic-strip Hulk than Lou Ferrigno's green monster, but with art-house director Ang Lee (The Ice Storm) on board, Hulk was never going to be a straightforward proposition. Darker than some might expect, but lacking the depth that might fully qualify it as tragedy, it's a noble failure masquerading as a blockbuster.
