Ang Lee directs the live-action feature film The Hulk, based on the Marvel comic book created by Stan Lee and illustrated by Jack Kirby. Emotionally stunted Dr. Bruce Banner (Eric Bana) is part of a research team at the University of California at Berkeley. Corporate hustler Glenn Talbot (Josh Lucas) takes notice of the lab and makes plans to take it over. Then Bruce accidentally gets hit by an experimental ray and grows into a huge beast, destroying the lab in the process. A creepy janitor who claims to be his real father, Dr. David Banner (Nick Nolte), starts to secretly use the experimental ray on himself. He creates some mutant dogs and sends them after Bruce's lab mate and ex-girlfriend Betty Ross (Jennifer Connelly). After Bruce saves her life in the form of the Hulk, she lets her distant father, General Ross (Sam Elliott), take him to an abandoned army base in the desert. However, Glenn Talbot takes over the operation and wants to patent the creature's superpowers for his own profit, so he holds Bruce unconscious in an isolation tank. When provoked, Bruce turns into the Hulk and makes a break for San Francisco, leading to a desert chase sequence involving military aircraft, tanks, and bombs. Only the sight of Betty can make him turn back to his human form. When he is eventually captured, Dr. David Banner shows up for a final confrontation with his son and his old adversary, General Ross. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

    While the film contains all the pieces of a great movie - Ang Lee directing and his eye for detail, performances by Bana and Connelly and Elliot, great score by Elfman - the movie tanks because it does not come together. Ang Lee, while his homage to comic books is interesting, spends more time of scenery than the movie. Bana plays it just a little over the top. All in all, this movie's not worth watching!

    Oh my goodness, what a disappointing movie. My wife and I were bored out of our minds. Heartbreaking to see a good cast (Eric Bana, Jennifer Connelly, Nick Nolte and Sam Elliott) turned into "blah" characters. Lousy background info... a lame attempt to throw conflict and depth into Bruce Banner w/ the whole "repressed memory" issue... and the stuff inside of him from the father's experiments... made very little sense. Effects were OK... Hulk still looked a bit cartoony... they did a MUCH better job w/ this character in the new Avengers movie. We are die-hard super hero movie fans, and this one was down there w/ Daredevil... just boring and poorly made.
