Product Description:
A GENETICIST'S EXPERIMENTAL ACCIDENT CURSES HIM WITH THE TENDENCY TO BECOME A POWERFUL GIANT GREEN BRUTE UNDER EMOTIONAL STRESS.
Amazon.com:
When the Hulk gets angry, his movie gets good, so you wish he'd get angry more often. Accepting this challenge after the triumphant Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, director Ang Lee has created an ambitious film, based on the Marvel comic created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, that succeeds as a cautionary tale about mad science and traumatized children coping with legacies of pain. That's the Hulk's problem: After accidental exposure to gamma radiation, scientist Bruce Banner (Eric Bana) turns into the huge, green, and indestructible Hulk when provoked, and repressed childhood memories fuel his fury. Hobbled by the obligatory "origin story" (to acquaint neophytes with the character's Jekyll-and-Hyde-ish fate), there's room for little else in a sluggish film that struggles to reconcile Lee's stylistic flair (evident in his visual interpretation of comic-book technique) with the razzle-dazzle of a megabudget franchise. What's good is good (Jennifer Connelly essentially echoes her role from A Beautiful Mind, and Nick Nolte is righteously tormented as Banner's father), but the movie's schizoid intentions remain largely unclear. --Jeff Shannon

- Hulk (widescreen 2-disc special edtion)
This was a present for my son. The quality was outstanding and the price was great.
Rating: - So-so.....
The only thing good about this movie were the fight scenes. Everything else was so-so. "The Incredible Hulk" was so much better!

Hulk (Widescreen 2-Disc Special Edition)
This first installment will thrill all Hulk lovers.Special Effects are marvelous and it actually has a story line.Great for kids and adults.
Rating: - SO UNDERRATED!
Hulk is a great film. Its masterfully directed and the effects are mind blowing. Hulk is so much more than a mindless monster and this film shows us that. I consider this one of the best superhero movies ever made right along with Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.

- Not As Horrible As So Many Claim
Come on people it's a huge green dude...What were you expecting? Spidey? Didn't think so. Hulk is that character in comics that was never truly identified to be either a hero or a villain. He is both in my opinion. He is his own enemy, Banner has to fight with his inner self (literally) the struggles between Hulk and Bruce Banner are as plausible as that of Kent and Superman, or Wayne and Batman. The only problem is how the story is adapted.
In this first adaptation, which in fact isn't ... Read More
