I can honestly see how Ang Lee TRIED to make this film unique (cinematography, editing style, character-driven, etc), and not like every other Marvel comic book hero brought to the big screen.
But unfortunately, he didn't succeed. It may have been the fake-looking GREEN of The Hulk, or possibly Eric Bana's strong attempt at keeping an American accent (meanwhile forgetting how to act). Eric Bana was great in Chopper. However, that American accent is nothing short of ridiculous.
Jennifer Connelly is fantastic as per usual, as is Nick Nolte.
I think to myself, could a story like this ever REALLY be brought to life, and feel realistic/believable? I know I enjoyed other comic book-based movies, such as X-Men and X-Men II.
I loved "The Ice Storm" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but "The Hulk" has fallen short of the mark, and for that reason, I give it a 6/10.

This has to be one of the worst movies I have EVER seen. The only other movie I have seen that I have hated as much is UNBREAKABLE. I came THIS close to walking out... I gave it another hour- hoping it would get better, and YEP, you guessed it- still CRAP! The moral to my story is DO NOT waste time/money/anything watching this film. Don't even let your VCR suffer from this torture. Please!

If anyone tells you you cannot 'really' emotionally connect with audiences in a short film format, please show them INJA, by Australian director and AFTRS graduate Steve Pasvolsky.
Beautifully shot, and skillfully directed, this short film is both insightful and moving. Nominated for an Academy Award, and having already won several awards, including the Live Action Film over 15', Student Category at the Palm Spring International Festival of Short Film, USA in 2001.
If you come across this film, please take the time to watch it... it's remarkable!
