Review of Hulk

Hulk (2003)
1/10
Just plain awful.
22 July 2003
Eric Bana gets a bad case of Syphilis as Ang Lee attempts to inject art into a Hollywood blockbuster, and fails miserably.

This is a dire movie. The first hour is excruciatingly boring. And the constant split screens are headache-inducing. Split screens, screens merging into one, etc. look pretty good, and can be great if used sparingly and appropriately. However, in this movie they pop up every few seconds, like the opening credits of the old TV show "Dallas". Apparently these are here to try to distract the viewer from the complete absence of plot or anything even remotely resembling one.

Eric Bana is a terrible actor, so wooden he makes Keanu Reeves look like Orson Welles. The movie also manages to waste good actors like Sam Elliot, Nick Nolte and Jennifer Connelly - not only that, but their acting is pretty awful in this movie too.

It is very rare that I walk out of a movie before it is over, but this one has me racing for the door, and breathing a sigh of relief once I had escaped it.

Like a bad dream you can't wake up from, "Hulk" is possibly the worst movie of recent times.
