For Those With Half a Brain, September 3, 2008
Currently, the majority of the reviews on this page are feeble attempts at warning readers that this is not the brain dead silly CGI-fest that was released in 2008 starring Edward Norton. I'm here to say that I know exactly which Hulk movie page I'm on, and I know exactly which Hulk movie Blu-ray I'll be purchasing over the other, thank you very much.
When I saddled up for the ride into High Definition, Blu-ray was already victorious over HD-DVD, and Ang Lee's Hulk (2003) was currently exclusive to the dead format. Many a days I sulked, thinking they would never release Hulk on Blu-ray for me to soak in its breathtaking vistas and vibrant colors in High-definition. Then, August 1st, 2008 came around, and to my great excitement, it was announced that Blu was the new green. In my opinion, this movie was made for hi-def. I salivate simply at the thought of viewing the Hulk bound across the Utah desert in a seamless blend of CG and nature cinematography worthy of Planet Earth. It is apparent that the team of filmmakers behind this project approached it as a work of art, rather than a shallow popcorn comic book movie to make a quick buck. More films in Hollywood should be created in this fashion.
Beyond that of being beautiful visually, the Hulk also sets itself apart from the rest by being a heartfelt narrative that no Marvel comic-book adaptation could ever dream of being. Which is what turned many cold to the movie right off the bat. This was a comic book movie that could actually live and breath on its own, rather than rely on CGI and tacky "Hulk SMASH" dialogue. It attacked deep, psychological problems, making the real battle being that of Bruce Banner vs. The Hulk, instead of CGI green mass vs CGI brown mass with an anti-climactic finish.
If you're Blu, I highly recommend giving this film a view. It is bound to impress with its striking palette and intense action sequences. I am quite certain it will be added to my small collection of demo material for the Blu-ray format.

Five stars for Ang's HULK??? YES!!!!!, September 19, 2008
I think this is another case of the domino effect. One critic gives it a bad review, the next does, the one after that will, and then swarms of people just watch it, looking for the problems the critics point out and call it a bad film. I think we should be able to form an opinion on our own without letting some desk jockey who hates movies to drive us to his or her own. Let's face it, it's not as bad as it was made out. It is a dark complex character driven movie. It's not the 2008 version, blah blah blah. Of course it isn't. But it is STILL VERY GOOD! Both copies of Blu Ray will sit right next to each other on my shelf, even as different as they are...they are still the ever Incredible Hulk!
