Hulk (2003) is a movie in my DVD collection that I recently rewatched on Tubi. The storyline follows a scientist with a traumatic childhood that he barely remembers but has nightmares about. When a series of tests go wrong and blow up in his face he is turned into a mean, green fighting machine. It could be those responsible for the experiment going wrong will try to capture and harness him. Meanwhile his past is bound to resurface.

This movie is directed by legend Ang Lee (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) and stars Eric Bana (Troy), Jennifer Connelly (Requiem for a Dream), Sam Elliott (Roadhouse), Josh Lucas (Ford vs Ferrari) and Nick Nolte (48 hrs).

This cast is absolutely awesome and with a better written film could have been a masterpiece. Elliott was a tremendous Ross. Unfortunately, the father son storyline didn't work for me and their face off towards the end to deal with their problems was the worst part of the movie. However, the CGI did work for me and I liked the look of The Hulk. His action scenes were good, especially the fight versus the dogs and Hulk's escape from the base. The ending was just okay and could have been better and relied too much on CGI.

Overall this movie was uneven but has some elements that make it worth a watch. I would score this a 6.5-7/10 and recommend seeing it once.
