Hulk:

We all know it is a no-no to do genetic experiments on people. And once again a scientist David Banner has to do it to himself. Now to compound the problem he passes a trait onto his offspring Bruce Banner (Eric Bana). Add a little lab accident and et voila instant hulk.

This is not the best integration of real, animation and CGI. Yet the story is told and you have fun watching. There is a father / son conflict and a misunderstood Hulk dismantles a lot of military equipment with extreme prejudice. This film does not try to follow the TV series and is not so dated. The only real drawback is that Jennifer Connelly is just too cute and you forget to keep track of the story line.

Jurassic Park III

It is always fun to see dinosaurs eat people. I like the chase scenes and the "stay in the car" scenes. Even the consumption of a satellite phone can be fun. But you can only dumb things down so much before losing any plausibility. In a mediocre movie you root for the creature to eat the dumb person that walks up to it and says, "Aren't you just the cutest thing?" In this one the characters are not worth eating. The story line and execution are so incredible that it does not matter that there are transparent to the viewer form the start. They should have went ahead and made it campy.

Basic story is paleontologist would not set foot on island of ancient creatures. Mysterious couple with lots of cashes just wants him to point out the highlights from the air (yeah sure).

One item in the plus is Sam Neil has more than one expression.

Just a note to those people that are watching this pair of films because San Neill is in them, may want to invest in the 1983 mini series Reilly - Ace of Spies as he does an exceptionally good job of acting.
