What Everyone Says About It: "Who hired an art-house filmmaker to make a Hulk film? It takes too long for the big green dude to show up, the CGI is weird (especially those hulk-dog creatures), and in light of The Avengers' Hulk, it's just pretty damn tough to stomach. Plus, Eric Bana is easily the worst of the three big-screen Hulks to date." Why It Isn't Terrible: Ang Lee directs the hell out of this film, creating an aesthetic of shifting comic book panels that's quite unlike anything the genre has seen either prior or since. It definitely has its problems, but as an alternative spin on what comic book movies could be (moody think-pieces rather than mere blast-a-thons), it's an undeniably brave, ambitious effort. Bana's performance in the lead role is also criminally underrated, and while it's been rightly overshadowed by more recent portrayals, 2003's film deserves more credit for daring to be different and stray from the pack. Hollywood learned its lesson, though: don't hire someone like Lee to make a comic book movie unless you're expecting something weird and left-field.
