From the imagination of director Ang Lee comes a vision of epic proportions. However, that vision is unnecessary when talking about a film like The Hulk. His vision is to illustrate vividly why Bruce Banner is who he becomes and how the curse of turning into a 15 ft monster haunts him evermore. Ang Lee is able to do this rather successfully in The Hulk. However, in this type of film, audiences are looking to see more of The Hulk and want less of what appears on screen in this film. Audiences crave for less dialogue and more action which was the main problem with this film. When The Hulk appeared on screen, the film became a visual spectacle of magnificence and beauty. However, the film takes too much time to explain Banner's relationship with his father (elegantly portrayed by Nick Nolte) and how his actions lead Bruce into a world of fear and misfortune. Jennifer Connelly is fine as Banner's girlfriend Betty and Eric Bana is fine as Banner himself and does a great job at illustrating the fear within him. And whoever tells you that the Hulk looks fake and is portrayed as a Shrek on steroids, don't trust them. The Hulk looks amazing and much better than the one portrayed by Lou Ferrigno (plays a security guard in this film) in the 70's TV Show. Even when The Hulk is on screen, you can't see him because the scene is set in the dark. Ang Lee's vision is appreciated for this film. However, since it is a summer blockbuster, it is totally unnecessary because of the basic concept that WE WANT MORE HULK!
