The only Hulk adaptation that will ever matter to me. Neither a figure utilized for applause moments nor cheap sympathy - Ang Lee imbues each plastic, manipulated moment with seismic reverberations of trauma and generational dissonance. Almost constantly quiet, only to quickly lash out and settle within the dust. Kevin Feige would never produce something as idiosyncratic or as tempered again.
Half way through the movie I twisted my ankle walking to the bathroom, and then fainted in the METROGRAPH lobby. Deep appreciation to Maya and the rest of the staff there for being remarkably attentive, supportive, and considerate.
Anyway, first half of HULK still rips. Assume the second half played just as well.
(on 35mm)
visually bold, incredibly layered, formally progressive and genuinely jaw dropping especially in the world of neutered grey hollow comic book joints, with no real humanity in them. this is the only version of the hulk that understands he’s a man, not a meltdown. i see myself in bruce banner, where he struggles with the meltdowns he can’t control, where he breaks and screams and causes destruction and shakes beyond comprehension after it ends. the pain doesn’t end, the bruises take time to heal and so does the emotional trauma of losing yourself to your own mind, of not being able to grasp your own body, of feeling like your trauma defines you. but this movie makes me feel like my meltdowns can be used for something better, even if that’s just directing my destruction towards those who need tearing apart, and this movie understands, as mawkish as it sounds, that love can help us through. thanks ang
this was on tv at the pizza place where i work and the cgi was so bad i thought the general chasing the hulk was the general from 1 800 call general now
it is so special to me to have watched this with my girlfriend on the day of a pretty bad meltdown. she took care of me throughout the day, showed me all the love in the universe and helped me calm down. this is one of the best encapsulations of what it’s physically and emotionally like to melt down, and I helped her see the movie through an autistic lens. but the best part of watching it with her is that I got to see it through her eyes as well, experiencing her reading of traumatic memories and repression, both of us finding a greater understanding of each other through our perceptions of this film. I will always be grateful for the mad bastard Ang Lee for this one.
This film doesn't get enough credit. I think it's quite a bit better than The Incredible Hulk. Ang Lee did his own thing with this film, and I can appreciate that. Although it doesn't work all the time as the film does have some pacing issues.
Is it me or is this film completely trippy most of the time? I mean apart from Nolte's face, of course.
I actually quite like it because of that.
Pleased to report I was very wrong about this film.
It's a walking, talking comic book in every sense and I don't know, maybe after nearly two dozen Marvel movies, this just clicked for me now. I suspect the film was great all along and it took me 18 years to figure it out. I remember being totally turned off by the aesthetic the first time around but definitely not tonight.
Lee is having fun here with the action and the goofy elements, but it's those small, slow, near-silent moments he peppers throughout that actually wind up making parts of this movie really beautiful. Plus, c'mon, he lifts that one gamma-irradiated dog up over his head and punches it in…
