The BRILLIANT Director "Ang Lee" made a visually stunning, serious & Tragic very Adult Marvel hero film way back in 2003 but it never got the recognition he deserved, it's an underrated CLASSIC.
Eric Bana is an excellent actor & totally fitted the part of troubled scientist "David Banner" he took the role serious & gave a powerful & often emotional performance, to me he is still the best actor we've had to play the role of David Banner & yes he's still better than now "MCU" version, yes i really like Mark Ruffalo but Bana is way better & not as comical & i like Ang Lee's c.g.i version of the Hulk still better, i prefer his look & his darker green colour he holds up & looks fantastic still!!!
Also the cast is excellent, from the great gruff veteran actor "Nick Nolte" who is so good in his evil psychotic role as Bana's crazy father to another old school veteran star Sam Elliott to the beautiful Jennifer Connelly this has a great cast of excellent talent.
The movie plays out like a serious Dramatic Thriller with some fantasy elements, Ang Lee directed this as a serious work of art & it shows, nearly every scene is shot beautifully, he also plays much more on the tragedy of the character & his dark origin story, Bruce Banner is a troubled man who has seen something horrific as a small boy & along with some evil scientific abuse from his psycho father, he becomes a beast.
I have always loved this comic book movie since it first came out & stand by it & defend it as i do with the excellent & underrated Daredevil & The Punisher all early 2000's Marvel films that most people don't seem to like? But i have always loved all 3 films & in my opinion are still the best Marvel before the MCU was properly set-up.
The performance from Eric Bana is excellent & he really dives into the drama & remains my favourite "Banner/Hulk" he's excellent.
Hulk is an excellent serious take on a classic Marvel character by a brilliant masterful Director. Enjoy a real "Adult" superhero film.
