Critics Consensus

While Ang Lee's ambitious film earns marks for style and an attempt at dramatic depth, there's ultimately too much talking and not enough smashing.

Lee’s take on Bruce Banner — the scientist you won’t like when he’s angry (played by Eric Bana) — stands up rather well as a counterpoint to today’s CGI-drenched behemoths.

I ask you: Is this not the correct way, the honorable way, for a studio to spend $150 million of its summer capital? Universal said The Hulk, and Lee heard something else, perhaps a story of dysfunctional families torn apart by ambition.

2/4

Even if Lee would have wanted to rise above the simple two-dimensional universe of the comic books, his portrayal remains just as flat.

3/5

The film's artistic ambition, psychological explorations, and fun action get largely lost in its unnecessarily long runtime and unconventional editing style.

3.5/4

For audiences ever fatigued by superhero movies cranked out like fast food, Hulk tastes like gourmet cuisine. Time has been kind to Hulk. Today, a movie often cited as one of the worst of its genre plays a lot more like one of the best.

3.5/5

Hulk has long been a misunderstood film but it's a very different type of comic book movie and should be reappraised as such.

I generally like the movie the most accurate depiction of hulk yet the visuals don't hold up and it's pretty slow.

One of my favorite marvel movies. I think its criminally underrated. I don't really understand why so many people dislike it. I heard people thought it was boring or too serious. I don't really understand the serious point of view however the action I can understand but personally it satisfied me. People also complained about the comic panels, I do see why it could be argued that it was overused. But I like how experimental the entire movie was. I really liked the relationship with Bruce and his father even though his father was not very comic book accurate. I really enjoyed the themes of the movie and how it shows trauma through the hulk. My favourite part of the movie was probably the Danny Elfman theme. Really melancholic and I think it fits the hulk and this movie perfectly. Again one of my favourite themes of marvel and probably my favourite theme of Danny Elfman. I prefer this over spider-man and batman despite them being more popular.
