(1 - 49) of 49 OFCS Rating: 71% Fresh Page   1   8/10 "... a 138-minute hulking monster of a box office smash hit about, er, a hulking monster who likes to smash and hit."   Movie Gazette   Anton Bitel "It's a mishmash -- but at times wonderful to behold."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker 8/10 "It may take a while for Hulk to smash, but when he does, it‘s a thing of beauty reinvented for a whole new legion of fans."   Modamag.com   Brian Orndorf "The effects again look intermittently successful."   Nitrate Online   Cynthia Fuchs 3/4 "The movie works well as pure character study, but the experience is also elevated by Lee's sense of visual craftsmanship."   Cinemaphile.org   David Keyes 2/4 "...the first really bad comic book movie since its re-emergence over the last few years."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair B "It was the look of the fifteen foot Beast leapfrogging about that gave the film its momentum and awe."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 3/4 "An unconventional, ballsy winner."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman B+ "What Ang Lee did for flight in 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,' he now does for tragic superheroes: He makes it all seem new again."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider B "When the Hulk soared through the air in an escape from the tanks and helicopters hot on his trail, my stomach turned, my heart sped up and my eyes welled up with tears."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov "A turgid, CGI-Frankenstein reject"   CinePassion   Fernando F. Croce B "Lee has at once been faithful to the pop source material and invested it with surprising dramatic resonance...looks very much like a comic, but feels deeper and richer."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3.5/4 "Hulk represents a quantum leap in summer entertainment - a thoughtful and moving superhero flick with enough action to keep our blood pumping."   Film and Felt   Gabe Leibowitz 3.5/4 "Lee's vision of Hulk is fresh and exciting, and he has fashioned a motion picture that's a breath of fresh air."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2.5/4 "If the digital Hulk is sometimes lacking, the rest of the movie's visual approach is a knock-out."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick "Very much like the recent Solaris remake, Hulk isn’t exactly what audiences were expecting."   Sci-Fi Movie Page   James O'Ehley 1/5 "Overblown adaptation of Marvel Comics monster saga is a lumbering, ponderous failure that trips over its misguided, touchy-feely aspirations."   Netflix   James Rocchi 9/10 "[James Schamus and Ang Lee] make beautiful movies, and this new one about a green monster that destroys things is, ironically, as beautiful as they come."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 3.5/10 "[A] long, overwrought and flawed comic book adaptation."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 3/4 "The way Lee orchestrates the film is closer to painting than directing. At times, it feels as though a graphic novel is being laid out on screen."   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito 3/4 "'Espectacular y trágica, es una cinta que vale la pena ver por la calidad de su director y la profundidad humana de su historia.'"   Moviola   Jorge Avila Andrade 1/5 "A big hulking mess."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 4/5 "The movie is far too well crafted for its subject, and it's been horribly mismarketed, but I hope people will see it on its own merits."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery "Lee and Schamus try on film genres like The Silence of the Lambs' Buffalo Bill tries on human skin."   UGO   Keith Uhlich 3/4 "Director Ang Lee has been quoted as saying he was making a Greek tragedy out of "The Hulk", not a superhero film. If that's true, he has succeeded."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 2/4 "No better than the much cheaper old-school Hulk TV show with Lou Ferrigno in green body paint."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest A- "Not since Tim Burton resuscitated the genre with "Batman" has a director so managed to put his own stamp on a superhero film and make the old seem new again."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 2.5/4 "Ambitious but inconsistent and, in the end, a slight letdown."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik 5/10 "The film is overly self-conscious and introspective."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper "[It] looks like a comic book... and it feels like a cerebral and satisfyingly disconcerting stew of Jekyll and Hyde and King Kong and Greek tragedy."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/4 "Hulk is probably the first comic book movie that could play to arthouse audiences as well as in mainstream multiplexes."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan C "Nolte's character is supposed to add dark, Oedipal themes of destiny and consequences, but his appearances frequently sparked laughter from the audience and his final conversation with his son plays like a parody of Sam Shepherd as translated into Finnish"   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow "The Hulk has enough super-sized thrills and surprisingly affecting dramatic weight to make it the year’s most profound popcorn extravaganza."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 4/5 "Hulk é um verdadeiro presente para os fãs do personagem e de Ang Lee - dois grupos que, no passado, poderiam ter sido considerados incompatíveis."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca "'It contains qualities that will last once the state-of-the-art effects have become dated and silly.'"   Critic Doctor   Peter Sobczynski 4/5 "Ang Lee tackles another genre, and the result is one of the most unusual -- and enjoyable -- superhero movies in years."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 4/5 "What a strange and fascinating contraption Hulk is."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves "The film almost matches the inner conflict of its titular character, intermittently bogged down even as it soars to occasionally transcendent heights."   Projection Booth   Rob Humanick B- "An ugly mixture, like its protagonist, that we still find a way to admire. It took a director like Lee to bring so many invigorating techniques to the story, even as his artistic aspirations slowly lose their way."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux B "One of the classiest, glossiest and most thoughtful comic book film adaptations yet."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B+ "“Hulk” is going to be big (pun intended) and I like it better than “Spiderman.”"   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford "Don't let the previews fool you. The Hulk isn't your typical comic book movie. It's not a disposable blockbuster either. These are both good things."   Movie Views   Ryan Cracknell 4/5 "Hulk, quite simply, smash."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg 3.5/5 "(Lee) successfully elevates the comic book adaptation to an art form without forgetting his source."   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell B+ "Not the best or most exciting of comic-book movies, but the most thoughtful and one of the most interesting… virtuoso split-screen work evokes comic-book panel layouts."   Decent Films Guide   Steven D. Greydanus 9/10 "As a mythic comic-book movie about a man at war with himself and the world, it's unexpectedly intense and engaging. It's not only this summer's blockbuster creature-feature but it also cleverly fuses pop culture with psychodrama."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger 2/4 "Struggles mightily between the requirement to awe and the desire to mean something."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 1.5/4 "A talented director wasted on a poorly plotted and weakly acted film. Not even the visual effects are salvagable"   Oscar Guy   Wesley Lovell "Hulk debería ser considerada la película más floja de Ang Lee hasta la fecha. Pero al mismo tiempo debe ser la más original traslación de un comic a la pantalla desde, digamos, Dick Tracy."   Uruguay Total   Enrique Buchichio  (1 - 49) of 49 OFCS Rating: 71% Fresh Page   1
