The Hulk (2003) (Blu-ray)

1 of the best looking Blu-Ray titles ive seen so far - the picture & sound are amazing!!! The film is not too bad either ;p

This film has genuine links to its comic book roots and come from the pages, though a long winded storey line and dreadful villain this film is still worth a watch and wasn't a waste as critics stated. Good film, poor acting.

Unlike some of the other Marvel superheroes, the Hulk is an afflicted character who can't help himself from becoming a huge beast when enraged. And Ang Lee spends a lot of time exploring the darker recesses of our souls (too much in fact) to create one of the deeper comic book adaptations. Of course the money shot all lies on whether the CGI can deliver a huge green rampaging beast, and the answer is yes, it does. Sometimes quite exhilaratingly so. But there's a lot of texture and characterisation going on here, that makes it a much more interesting film than we would ever have expected a big summer blockbuster to be.

A pretty strong Blu-ray transfer - you can swim in Jennifer Connelly's eyes though some of the digital effects don't survive too close high definition scrutiny.

If you dont have any knowledge about the comics, like me, this film is actually enjoyable as long as you like the whole super hero trend thats been going on for a while, which I do. Loads of action and some over the top scenes make for a worthy watch, and the blu-ray is brilliant when compared to the dvd quality. I am no nitpicker so I will leave it at that, recommended for fans of the genre.

I know this movie came in for a LOT of slack when first came out, but the story like a lot of Ang Lee's movies lingered with me for days after.
It had Real Emotions, but maybe for a Blockbuster Smash Em Up Summer Move, it had too much thinking going on.
I enjoyed the Father and Son turmoil that was going on, but in hindsight that story could have been a nice little Drama in it's own right.
I mean with the Hulk you have to have Demons in his mind to make the character more realistic. But anyways it didn't work at the box Office.
From a performances point of view Eric Bana was very good in his first big lead role, Jennifer Connely and Nick Nolte were both fantastic.
The HULK Special Effects were pretty good for their time aswell.
One to catch to see which side of the fence you are on.
