It wasn't as crappy as I had expected, but it wasn't good either. I liked the casting and characthers. This is the first movie I've seen with Jennifer Connelly where I haven't had flashbacks to "Requiem for a dream".
I pretty much could tell from the start that this would be a long movie. My biggest complaints are that Ang Lee is trying waaay to hard to be artistic with this movie. The cartoon boxes work in a couple of scenes, but he overdid it. We did not need to see a bloody helicopter from 5 different angles at the same time.
This movie has way to much talking and very little action, now I'm not saying that this is a bad thing, but so much of the talk is unnecessary... it just got so damn boring in the long run. Also the rivalry between Talbot and Bruce made no sense to me, yes, they were both a little hung up on the same girl, and had different sides on the whole who should control the lab thing but that isn't enough for the hate we see on screen.
The scene where Bruce first turns into the Hulk was very silly, and I have to admit I didn't completely get what the trigger was.
Finally, the Hulk cgi is NOT as good as the people behind this movie claim, he looks like one of Shrek's buddies. Comparing this to Gollum is a F*** insult to Weta, Andy Serkis and Peter Jackson.
Now to the stuff I actually liked in this movie: You can to some extent relate to the characther, but I guess that might not be obvious to everybody, but just to make it clear I'm focusing on the human element here. Now, Bruce Banner is a sulky characther, but you understand why he's sad and he makes an effort not to be too much of a downer, he's serious without being whiny.
