I actually quite like this movie. No, it's not fun (outside of the few action sequences that ARE present, which I enjoy), but I find the ideas too potentially fascinating to really care. I think people would gravitate to it more if it came out now, what with all the folks clamoring for comic book movies that deviate from formula.
"Come back! Or we're gonna give you a pointless romance with Black Widow. Ok! Fine! You get a subtext romance with Thor" that made laugh so much! That line was awesome!
Black Widow realized her little speech stopped working, so she just puts on this movie. Hulk turns back into Banner, but Banner still sleeps the rest of the day!

Nostalgic Critic- "I don't think trees are a big focus of comics" Guardians of the Galaxy- Groot- I am Groot? Rocket- He's talking about Earth trees not you
TO be fair guys winnie the pooh is designed that way because the idea is that these adventures take place in a literal storybook Scott Pilgrim has it because the premise is that the world is a literal video game Sherlock was interesting though it felt really silly in transition and I never saw Hellboy 2019, then again most of the world didn’t either.
ITSV worked because it's an animated film about *Spider-Man* that fits in, it wouldn't fit if you include comic book words (KAPLAM, KAPOW) in Netflix's Punisher or something, that's why this movie didn't work
@@eldiegoxter7517 A Hulk movie like a comic book certainly could work, it just doesn't work here because the comic style is used in all the wrong ways.
@@gracekim1998It doesn't need to be a fully animated movie to have an animation-like style. Just look at Detective Pikachu - it has an entire world in the Pokemon style, and it meshes that perfectly with the live-action format. (the Pokemon's models are actually real-life objects too) Let's say instead of overusing comic book transitions and special effects, the Hulk movie went for the harsh black shadows and powerful action poses that comic books are famous for. That could actually work extremely well as a style, would translate well into a movie format and probably make lighting any CGI models a lot easier.
"In this movie, they spend most of their time sitting around and just talking." Soooooooooo, you could maybe say this movie contained half of Fan4stic's formula? They just needed the dark rooms and PRESTO!
+CodeNameZ, that's true, though not to the extent of this one. Also, who considers it one of the best? I wouldn't say that's the general consensus. I like it, but it may not even be in my top 10 MCU films (although I don't represent the masses. I don't like Deadpool very much). I was never a big Avengers man, regarding the comics.
I can't wait to see the Incredible Sulk team up with Captain Angst, Ironic Man, Bore, Hackyoureyeout, and the Black Wonka in the next Angries movie: The Inexcusable wars *UPDATE* HOW THE FORK DID THIS COMMENT GET SO MANY LIKES!?! I have never been this popular :P
Wanna hear a funny story? When I was a little kid and my parents wanted me to sleep, they put this movie on my TV and told me to watch it. Slept like a log.
I think Ang Lee was trying to focus on the tragedy of the Hulk. That's fine and gives way to some interesting thought provoking ideas, but there needs to be balance. You need to add humor, actual acting (these performances are incredibly bland, and these are decent actors), more action (It's the freakin' Hulk man!!) and, by God, control the scene changes. I know it's a comic book movie, but, good lord these transitions are really distracting. The only good thing about the movie was Danny Elfman's score. And that's my two cents on the matter.
@@jernie9384 Humour doesn't necessarily mean MCU-ish. Hulk humour, if its there at all, should be more Doctor Strangelove/Sunset Boulevard than the Joss Whedon/Ben Hecht feel every other MCU movie seems to be aiming at.
@@clarkkentwithglasses4759 Well, there's actual humor in a lot of dramas. Not goofy humor, but humor nonetheless... My main example would be the Lion King. A Shakespearean tragedy with humor and colorful songs, and one of the best animated movies of all time!
@@anikmonette2140 i guess, you could have rick jones for some levity. But, bruce banner is a messed up dude. Making him funny and the destroying the mystique of the character is not something preferential to me. Look at the avengers movies. hulk nothing but a joke and a gorilla? what is that about? . At the sametime, Look at the current hulk comics run. It is absolutely horrific. A good hulk adaptation is yet to happen in live action,in my opinion.
In all fairness, Ang Lee isn't a bad idea for a director of a Hulk film. The Green Giant's best stories usually have a focus on either being super destructive or explore Bruce and Hulk's psychological dealings. The best one, imo, the Wprld War Hulk Saga, does both. It has Hulk and Banner sort of fuse into one being in order to survive the planet of Sakaar, and even be joined in one purpose after facing a painful death of someone close: the punishment or death of the Illuminati. It's not that Hulk is angry at this, but that Hulk AND BANNER are BOTH joined in a shared hatred of his former colleagues over that death, and are one in action and thought to wage war; hopefully for one last time. It's essentially Marvel's first attempt at a true Epic, with how many changes the characters go through, how expansive both Earth and Sakaar are, and from how much Hulk and Banner grew. I say this because Ang Lee is ideal for the emotional depth of Hulk and may even be best suited if given a producer or helping hand that can assist with an added Horror aspect that really makes Hulk's stories pop. The main issue, to me at least, is that Ang Lee had too little understanding of the characters and didn't do his homework as effectively as when he did Crouching Togdr, Hidden Dragon. Which explains another, seeing as it's the _execution_ of the ideas that screwed this movie over, and not the ideas themselves.
I think Ang Lee must have said something along the lines of 'We need to hire our Banner' in his Taiwanese accent, and one of his assistants must have understood 'We need to hire Eric Bana'. That's the only explanation I can find for his casting.
you are fucking goddamn right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so fucking so fucking so fucking right and as a Asian I cant even start to understand your amazing mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Watch a movie called 'Chopper' based on real person played perfect by Eric Bana, Brad Pit saw the movie and told the creators of the movie Troy he wanted Eric Bana to play Hector. Ang Lee also signed up Eric For Hulk because of his performance in Chopper
13:40 David: You've had a terrible accident. Bruce: (Calmly) So perhaps you should leave now. David: We're gonna have to watch that temper of yours. Isn't that like saying that Tina from Bob's Burger's is too loud?
Honestly, one of the reasons I like this film even despite all the flaws pointed out is that it's the only Hulk film that was willing to try and experiment. No, it doesn't always pay off and it definitely runs too wild with the surreal shit and melodrama, but it's definitely trying to do something mature. Hell, given the advent of more serious, character-driven superhero works like The Dark Knight and even the comic-book style editing of Into the Spider-Verse, you could even call the movie a bit ahead of its time. The Hulk stories have spent a long time exploring psychological trauma and using the Not at All Jolly Green Giant as a metaphor for said trauma, so to see a film that does attempt to pay justice to those themes, even if it doesn't succeed as much as it stumbles, is really admirable to me. Plus, I'd like to see MCU Hulk try and hammer-toss a 100-ton Abrams tank half a mile into a sand dune.
while i actually dislike this movie even with its themes of trauma i do enjoy the idea of this movie dealing with said trauma, and i think that more superhero movies should try to experiment a bit more with psychological trauma, and ways to deal with it.
@Kryptoskillet well TO BE FAIR this movie is technically cannon in the MCU. BUT i think the focus of this comment is about how the hulk has lost the essence of exploring psychological trauma.
@@captaincaterpie This movie is not canon to the MCU; _The Incredible Hulk:_ the film made in 2008 with Edward Norton as Bruce Banner, is the one that's canon to the MCU.
@@matthewmuir8884 yes. That's the one that is truly canon but it paid little tributes to the original, even skipping the origin story cuz this movie was made. While not a sequel it's enough to say this is somewhat part of the MCU
Such Wow Gamer and it's funny he just decided to skip over the epic parts lol why? Idk why maybe he only knows how to botch about thing rather then praise em
The Bruce/Nat ship thing somehow made it as if Betty Ross (Bruce's original love) never existed or even the film itself despite her father returning in Civil War, Infinity War and Endgame.
@@samkresil6011 What were they supposed to do? Bring back a love interest from a movie that nearly no one saw? It practically never happened anyway since Bruce never talked about her.
@@nathanieldiaz5254 Its still part of the MCU, though. I think probably recasting Ed Norton might've had something to do with it, considering how much of a riot he was during making of The Incredible Hulk.
I'm pretty sure this wasn't an act. I think he legit saw the film crew for this movie setting up, and tried his best to convince the head of security that it wasn't safe to have the cast and crew anywhere near that facility.
She played a snarky AI in that film and a scientist in this one. That's like watching The Sixth Sense and complaining that Bruce Willis doesn't make wisecracks like he does in Die Hard.
waits 45 minutes in the movie and the hulk is only shown for a minute and then it cuts back to Bruce being in his bedroom. THE HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!
Danny Cryer From now on, whenever I'm watching something and get bored, I'm just going to shout out "THE HUUUUUULLLLLLLKKKKKKKKK". I don't care how many weird looks I'll get.
Nicholas Tricarico Geez her acting is so fucking insufferable! Tommy from the fucking Room is better at acting than this because at least he displays some basic emotion, even if it's executed hilariously badly. This bitch however, would keep that stupid, dull, soulless look on even in dangerous situations where fucking survival instinct would be screaming otherwise! Arrgh!!
And what we're all forgetting is that when an otherwise good actor turns in a bad performance, it's not necessarily their fault but the director's. Look at HP: Order of the Phoenix. I still think David Yates told everyone, "Don't act - just stand there!"
Board meeting must have been like. "Okay, we need a director for this movie about the most wild and destructive superhero ever!" "Hmm.. You know the guy who's done plenty of really slow, mellow and intricate drama movies?" "Y E S!" *after movie release* "I wonder why the movie was so slow and mellow.. Not what i expected, oh well.."
@@mrcritical6751 meh there's still his misogyny and racism that could work itself into the plot. Cause for SOME REASON people keep letting him gain access to plot
Man I kinda feel sorry for Ang Lee. He just wanted to do one movie for martial arts. Now he has to remember the hulk movie. But at least he made better movies.
Yeah he was a really odd choice for director, is like saying we're going to hire Michael Haneke as the director of Avengers 4 because he's critically praised.
9:37 "THE HULK! People calmly discussing things, staring at each other in silence, but... look! Green walls! It's... kind of like the Hulk is there! Symbolically! Oh, you just don't get it! You don't understand the layers of subtlety and conversation that need to be had with... THE HULK!"
THE HULK! Quietly talking about his emotions and problems with other, while getting about 2 min. of the title character fucking up tanks, but fuck that, let’s get back to the talking.... THE HULK!
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to direct a cinematic adaptation of the Hulk. The action is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of biochemistry and nuclear physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head.
Much of the microbiology work seen on-screen is authentic, courtesy of Ang Lee's wife. Edward Norton was approached to play Bruce Banner, but he turned it down. Norton didn't like the script despite being a Hulk fan. He later accepted the role in The Incredible Hulk (2008). Helpful • 271 5 Nick Nolte grew his hair wildly for this movie when he was arrested for drunk driving and photographed for his now-infamous mug shot. Helpful • 202 6 Nick Nolte (David Banner) used an oxygen tank throughout the production. Eric Bana recalled a moment where, after taking a hit of oxygen on set, Nolte turned to Bana and confided, "I don't really need this, it just makes them think you're fucking crazy and they pay attention." Helpful • 56 0 Ang Lee performed the Hulk through motion-capture technology. According to the ILM animators, the Hulk's stats are as follows: * He weighs 3,452 pounds (1,565.8 kilograms). * He can exert 14 tons of pressure per square inch. * His skin is ten times as strong as Kevlar. * His chest measures 17 feet and four inches (5.3 meters). * His waist is 12 feet and ten inches (3.3 meters). * His feet are four feet and three inches (1.3 meters); if he wore shoes, they would be (U.S.) size 87. * His neck measures six feet and nine inches (2 meters). * He can move at a top speed of 300 miles (483 kilometers) per hour and cross three to four miles (4.8 to 6.4 kilometers) in a single jump. Helpful • 246 9 Ang Lee employed the split-screen technique to cinematically mimic the panels of a comic-book page. This required many takes of one scene, which was draining for Eric Bana. It took him four takes to film Banner's first Hulk transformation, and by the time of its completion, he was on the verge of collapse. Helpful • 175 6 The amount of CGI involved in the dog fight made it one of the most complex scenes ILM ever did at the time. Helpful • 93 3 The role of Betty Ross attracted Jennifer Connelly since she found Ang Lee's vision of the Hulk interesting: "He wasn't talking about a glossy fun-filled kids' movie about a green guy running around in tights. He was talking along the lines of tragedy and psychodrama, the green monster of rage, greed, jealousy, and fear in all of us." Helpful • 151 7 Bruce Banner's father was named Brian Banner in the comics. This film renamed him David Banner as a tribute to The Incredible Hulk (1977), where the Hulk was known as David Banner. Helpful • 90 3 The Hulk grows taller as he gets angrier in this movie; Sam Elliot accepted the role of General Thaddeus E. "Thunderbolt" Ross without reading the script, being simply excited to work with Ang Lee. Helpful • 97 4 The dim lighting during his first appearance makes the Hulk occasionally look grayish-green, an homage to when he was gray in his May 1962 debut comic. The publisher couldn't print gray very well, so Stan Lee made the Hulk green, simply because other characters hadn't used green much. Helpful • 97 4 The film was in development for 12 years, sufficient time for CGI to become sophisticated enough to render the required visual effects. Helpful • 104 5 Eric Bana said that working with Nick Nolte was the best part of being in the film: "He was quite literally one of my favorite actors of all time." Helpful • 59 2 Eric Bana commented that the mood during shooting was "ridiculously serious and morbid." Director Ang Lee explained to him that he was shooting a sort of superhero tragedy, and he would be making a whole other movie about the Hulk at the Industrial Light & Magic studios. Ironically, the film was criticized as being an overly serious superhero film. Helpful • 112 7 Ang Lee took Eric Bana to watch a bare-knuckled boxing match to prepare him for his role's brutality. The frog used in the nanomed experiment named Freddie is fake. The crew pumped air into it to make it look like it was breathing. They used a prop frog after the real one proved not to be as lively as the fake. The Hulk was originally supposed to be an animatronic. Sam Elliot read Hulk comic books to prepare for his role as General Thaddeus E. "Thunderbolt" Ross. He had doubts about growing a mustache since the Army discourages facial hair, but Ang Lee convinced him to do so. Helpful • 58 7 The Incredible Hulk (2008) rebooted the film, intending to fit the character within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, as Marvel has the production rights to make a film with the Hulk, Universal Pictures still maintains distribution rights to any film starring the character in his own solo film. Thus, Marvel Studios produced The Incredible Hulk (2008), but Universal Pictures distributed it. For the dog fight scene, a trainer and dogs wore motion-capture suits. Bruce's dreams are primarily green and purple-colored, the Hulk's signature colors. According to production designer Rick Heinrichs, those colors follow Bruce throughout his life as a theme. Eric Bana wasn't a fan of the Hulk comics that inspired the film, but he was a big fan of The Incredible Hulk (1977). Bana explained, "I was obsessed with the TV show. I was never a huge comic book reader when I was a kid but was completely obsessed with the television show." Jennifer Connelly later played Karen, the A.I. voice in Peter Parker's Spider-Man-Suit, in Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017). According to Ang Lee, Rhiannon Leigh Wryn cried so much because she hates ice cream. Hulk's face was modeled after a few different people, including director Ang Lee, Eric Bana, and Jennifer Connelly. The Hulk doesn't appear fully until around 42 minutes into the movie. Nick Nolte lost his voice while filming his showdown scene;
I’m very 50/50 on this movie. I like the darkness, the effects, the transformations and many other things. But the movie honestly does kind of go on for longer needed. The whole part where Banner is transported underground is pretty hard to get through but once he transforms I love it. Him running through the desert, fighting the tanks, jumping to san francisco, that’s all great.
That Stan Lee and Lou Ferrigno cameo is the only good thing about this movie. It's honestly an amazing idea to have both the creator of the Hulk, and the man who played him, be in a movie about said character. Too bad it's wasted.
"Also, I don't think trees are a big focus of comics." Critic, allow me to introduce you to my friend Groot who would like to have a few words with you.
I got funny ones, until the last one. The first ad was a disaster movie, where John Carter/Gambit and Fant4stic Reed Richards fight wildfires, with Thanos/Cable as their boss, that's pretty good. At the halfway mark, when he set up the commercial break, I got an ad titled: Spicy Girls Dry Rub, but it wasn't as "interesting" as it sounded, it was a recipe for bbq ribs, which I guess is okay.... The ad that started at the end was one of those arthritis ones, with all the side effects that sound worse than having arthritis.
oh, you found me! not sure how you saw through my clever disguise. . . anyway, to answer your question, nothing really. just waiting for splatoon 2. *DAWN OF THE FIRST DAY. 72 HOURS REMAIN*
Why have I never heard of the Nick Nolte freak-out scene before this? Why isn't it a meme like the Mr Freeze-lines from Batman And Robin? This is comedy gold
Because it's buried inside of an otherwise painfully dull slog of a movie. Batman and Robin was an insane train wreck from beginning to end so it was very entertaining. This movie has a couple weird moments (Hulk fighting Giant dogs and Nolte freak out) but besides that it's completely unmemorable. It all just kind of blends together.
Because Batman and Robin was bad in a "it's so bad, it's almost funny" kind of way. This movie is bad in a "Oh God, make it stop!!!" kind of way, which makes people not want to remember it. Like, at all.
Missed a perfect opportunity to bring back the "I'm acting" gag with the girlfriend. Even a plastic doll like Barbie would have made a facial expression with some humanity than this person did throughout this entire film.
Weird, you're the second or third one speaking about the mario bros movie... which made me do the search and yeah, Critic did a review on it... That someone saved but NC never reupload it. It's fucking old and since the flick itself abysmal, it's not a great review, but kinda enjoyed it nonetheless. Cinema Sins did a better job on this one, though... Mario fucking Bros!
Not really a fair comparison at all. Hopper knew exactly what movie he was making and decided to make odd choices and chew the scenery. He's never blank and emotionless.
5:35. Their usage of comic book look looks like the comics they portray. Ang Lee's comic panel style is not from any iteration of the Hulk comic, it's just him slapping a generic whacky comic book look over the story of the Hulk.

I've never knew that Stan Lee made Stripperella until he died... Rest In Peace.

Stephen Hillenberg died within weeks of him, too.
The funny thing is while Jennifer Connelly was the worst in this film she was really great as the A.I. Karen in Spider-man Homecoming.
Yeah and what's even funnier is her husband in real life is Paul Bettany aka Jarvis aka Vision.
Megaproductions302 she hot tho so that's all that matters (JK she was terrible and that's wat really matters)
Megaproductions302 that movie was funny, esspecially the last after credit scene
Megaproductions302 Oh she was in Homecoming... never would've guess... umm, anyway...

"In this movie, they spend most of their time sitting around and just talking."
Soooooooooo, you could maybe say this movie contained half of Fan4stic's formula? They just needed the dark rooms and PRESTO!
Pretty much.
Jimbro sauce But the Avengers they spend most time talking and it is consider one of the best superhero movies ever made
CodeNameZ I never realized that they did that in The Avengers until now.
+CodeNameZ, that's true, though not to the extent of this one. Also, who considers it one of the best? I wouldn't say that's the general consensus. I like it, but it may not even be in my top 10 MCU films (although I don't represent the masses. I don't like Deadpool very much). I was never a big Avengers man, regarding the comics.
Here is the hulk 15:43 "get him the hell out of here " kills me every single time 😂😂😂😂 💀💀💀 I love the critic 😂😂😂
*silence* THE HUUULLLKKKK!!!!!
STILL BETTER THAN FAN4STIC!!!!
I can't wait to see the Incredible Sulk team up with Captain Angst, Ironic Man, Bore, Hackyoureyeout, and the Black Wonka in the next Angries movie: The Inexcusable wars

Wanna hear a funny story? When I was a little kid and my parents wanted me to sleep, they put this movie on my TV and told me to watch it. Slept like a log.
*Big bang Theory laugh track plays for ten days*

I loved this movie as a kid, as an adult it makes me cringe.
The sound effects on the transitions XD
The actually fit perfectly.
Especially that farting one with Connelly's character 😂
I think Ang Lee was trying to focus on the tragedy of the Hulk. That's fine and gives way to some interesting thought provoking ideas, but there needs to be balance. You need to add humor, actual acting (these performances are incredibly bland, and these are decent actors), more action (It's the freakin' Hulk man!!) and, by God, control the scene changes. I know it's a comic book movie, but, good lord these transitions are really distracting. The only good thing about the movie was Danny Elfman's score. And that's my two cents on the matter.
MCUish Humor ? No, thanks.
@@jernie9384 Humour doesn't necessarily mean MCU-ish. Hulk humour, if its there at all, should be more Doctor Strangelove/Sunset Boulevard than the Joss Whedon/Ben Hecht feel every other MCU movie seems to be aiming at.
hulk-the story about the character that killed his father, then became a green monster when he grew up. You want humour in that? Ok.
@@clarkkentwithglasses4759 Well, there's actual humor in a lot of dramas. Not goofy humor, but humor nonetheless...
My main example would be the Lion King. A Shakespearean tragedy with humor and colorful songs, and one of the best animated movies of all time!
@@anikmonette2140 i guess, you could have rick jones for some levity. But, bruce banner is a messed up dude. Making him funny and the destroying the mystique of the character is not something preferential to me. Look at the avengers movies. hulk nothing but a joke and a gorilla? what is that about? . At the sametime, Look at the current hulk comics run. It is absolutely horrific. A good hulk adaptation is yet to happen in live action,in my opinion.
In all fairness, Ang Lee isn't a bad idea for a director of a Hulk film. The Green Giant's best stories usually have a focus on either being super destructive or explore Bruce and Hulk's psychological dealings. The best one, imo, the Wprld War Hulk Saga, does both. It has Hulk and Banner sort of fuse into one being in order to survive the planet of Sakaar, and even be joined in one purpose after facing a painful death of someone close: the punishment or death of the Illuminati. It's not that Hulk is angry at this, but that Hulk AND BANNER are BOTH joined in a shared hatred of his former colleagues over that death, and are one in action and thought to wage war; hopefully for one last time.
It's essentially Marvel's first attempt at a true Epic, with how many changes the characters go through, how expansive both Earth and Sakaar are, and from how much Hulk and Banner grew.
I say this because Ang Lee is ideal for the emotional depth of Hulk and may even be best suited if given a producer or helping hand that can assist with an added Horror aspect that really makes Hulk's stories pop. The main issue, to me at least, is that Ang Lee had too little understanding of the characters and didn't do his homework as effectively as when he did Crouching Togdr, Hidden Dragon. Which explains another, seeing as it's the _execution_ of the ideas that screwed this movie over, and not the ideas themselves.
16:16 MALCOM where did you get that cool-ass shirt?
Crazy Boris Productions wow im glad to see an awesome animator here
animations are great man.
WTF???
I think Ang Lee must have said something along the lines of 'We need to hire our Banner' in his Taiwanese accent, and one of his assistants must have understood 'We need to hire Eric Bana'. That's the only explanation I can find for his casting.
Guillermo St Actually, Eric Bana was one of the only good things about this crap-tastic movie.
you are fucking goddamn right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so fucking so fucking so fucking right and as a Asian I cant even start to understand your amazing mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eric bana did some really good acting in the movie
Probably someone also said: We need someone to direct this movie who is angry!
But someone understood Ang Lee.
Watch a movie called 'Chopper' based on real person played perfect by Eric Bana, Brad Pit saw the movie and told the creators of the movie Troy he wanted Eric Bana to play Hector. Ang Lee also signed up Eric For Hulk because of his performance in Chopper
13:40
David: You've had a terrible accident.
Bruce: (Calmly) So perhaps you should leave now.
David: We're gonna have to watch that temper of yours.
Isn't that like saying that Tina from Bob's Burger's is too loud?
Honestly, one of the reasons I like this film even despite all the flaws pointed out is that it's the only Hulk film that was willing to try and experiment. No, it doesn't always pay off and it definitely runs too wild with the surreal shit and melodrama, but it's definitely trying to do something mature. Hell, given the advent of more serious, character-driven superhero works like The Dark Knight and even the comic-book style editing of Into the Spider-Verse, you could even call the movie a bit ahead of its time. The Hulk stories have spent a long time exploring psychological trauma and using the Not at All Jolly Green Giant as a metaphor for said trauma, so to see a film that does attempt to pay justice to those themes, even if it doesn't succeed as much as it stumbles, is really admirable to me.
Plus, I'd like to see MCU Hulk try and hammer-toss a 100-ton Abrams tank half a mile into a sand dune.
It wasn’t as bad as this guy made out
while i actually dislike this movie even with its themes of trauma i do enjoy the idea of this movie dealing with said trauma, and i think that more superhero movies should try to experiment a bit more with psychological trauma, and ways to deal with it.
@Kryptoskillet well TO BE FAIR this movie is technically cannon in the MCU. BUT i think the focus of this comment is about how the hulk has lost the essence of exploring psychological trauma.
@@captaincaterpie This movie is not canon to the MCU; _The Incredible Hulk:_ the film made in 2008 with Edward Norton as Bruce Banner, is the one that's canon to the MCU.
@@matthewmuir8884 yes. That's the one that is truly canon but it paid little tributes to the original, even skipping the origin story cuz this movie was made. While not a sequel it's enough to say this is somewhat part of the MCU

Two Oscars ease his pain at least.
He made Brokeback Mountain after this. He did ok.
Yeah he was a really odd choice for director, is like saying we're going to hire Michael Haneke as the director of Avengers 4 because he's critically praised.
This is what happens when you put a good director in a film he's had little experience with.
Starman Gaming a good director can make any kind of a movie, this is not a good director.

Said the Hulk 2008 fan.
THE HULK! Quietly talking about his emotions and problems with other, while getting about 2 min. of the title character fucking up tanks, but fuck that, let’s get back to the talking.... THE HULK!
All Hulk scenes in Thor Ragnarok >>>> both Hulk movies
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to direct a cinematic adaptation of the Hulk. The action is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of biochemistry and nuclear physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head.
Much of the microbiology work seen on-screen is authentic, courtesy of Ang Lee's wife.
Edward Norton was approached to play Bruce Banner, but he turned it down. Norton didn't like the script despite being a Hulk fan. He later accepted the role in The Incredible Hulk (2008).

Ang Lee performed the Hulk through motion-capture technology.
According to the ILM animators, the Hulk's stats are as follows:
* He weighs 3,452 pounds (1,565.8 kilograms).
* He can exert 14 tons of pressure per square inch.
* His skin is ten times as strong as Kevlar.
* His chest measures 17 feet and four inches (5.3 meters).
* His waist is 12 feet and ten inches (3.3 meters).
* His feet are four feet and three inches (1.3 meters); if he wore shoes, they would be (U.S.) size 87.
* His neck measures six feet and nine inches (2 meters).
* He can move at a top speed of 300 miles (483 kilometers) per hour and cross three to four miles (4.8 to 6.4 kilometers) in a single jump.

Ang Lee employed the split-screen technique to cinematically mimic the panels of a comic-book page. This required many takes of one scene, which was draining for Eric Bana. It took him four takes to film Banner's first Hulk transformation, and by the time of its completion, he was on the verge of collapse.

The role of Betty Ross attracted Jennifer Connelly since she found Ang Lee's vision of the Hulk interesting: "He wasn't talking about a glossy fun-filled kids' movie about a green guy running around in tights. He was talking along the lines of tragedy and psychodrama, the green monster of rage, greed, jealousy, and fear in all of us."

The dim lighting during his first appearance makes the Hulk occasionally look grayish-green, an homage to when he was gray in his May 1962 debut comic. The publisher couldn't print gray very well, so Stan Lee made the Hulk green, simply because other characters hadn't used green much.

The Incredible Hulk (2008) rebooted the film, intending to fit the character within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, as Marvel has the production rights to make a film with the Hulk, Universal Pictures still maintains distribution rights to any film starring the character in his own solo film. Thus, Marvel Studios produced The Incredible Hulk (2008), but Universal Pictures distributed it.
For the dog fight scene, a trainer and dogs wore motion-capture suits.
Bruce's dreams are primarily green and purple-colored, the Hulk's signature colors. According to production designer Rick Heinrichs, those colors follow Bruce throughout his life as a theme.
Eric Bana wasn't a fan of the Hulk comics that inspired the film, but he was a big fan of The Incredible Hulk (1977). Bana explained, "I was obsessed with the TV show. I was never a huge comic book reader when I was a kid but was completely obsessed with the television show."
Jennifer Connelly later played Karen, the A.I. voice in Peter Parker's Spider-Man-Suit, in Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017).
According to Ang Lee, Rhiannon Leigh Wryn cried so much because she hates ice cream.
Hulk's face was modeled after a few different people, including director Ang Lee, Eric Bana, and Jennifer Connelly.
The Hulk doesn't appear fully until around 42 minutes into the movie.
Nick Nolte lost his voice while filming his showdown scene;
"He wants me to turn into this mindless Hulk"
He should try watching The Amazing Bulk...

Him running through the desert, fighting the tanks, jumping to san francisco, that’s all great.

Why have I never heard of the Nick Nolte freak-out scene before this? Why isn't it a meme like the Mr Freeze-lines from Batman And Robin?
This is comedy gold
Because it's buried inside of an otherwise painfully dull slog of a movie. Batman and Robin was an insane train wreck from beginning to end so it was very entertaining. This movie has a couple weird moments (Hulk fighting Giant dogs and Nolte freak out) but besides that it's completely unmemorable.
It all just kind of blends together.
Because Batman and Robin was bad in a "it's so bad, it's almost funny" kind of way.
This movie is bad in a "Oh God, make it stop!!!" kind of way, which makes people not want to remember it. Like, at all.
