Considering how well Lou Ferrigno did on television, this seemed like an obvious project for Ang Lee, but why did he choose Eric Bana? His performance feels stiff; he's about as expressive as a kitchen utensil playing the role of “Banner,” the scientist who becomes entangled in some radioactive incidents. Consequently, when he gets angry, he transforms into a vibrant green, tears away from (nearly all of) his clothes, and embarks on a destructive spree that even armored vehicles can’t contain. While there are a few action sequences that provide some amusement, the film spends too much time dwelling on the actions of his devoted girlfriend “Betty” (Jennifer Connolly), who is attempting to prevent her father "Gen. Ross" (Sam Elliott) from destroying this increasingly perilous creature in torn denim. To compound the melodrama, we’re also introduced to his own deceitful father (Nick Nolte), with whom he has had a distant relationship, who is searching for a way to replicate his unusual condition for his own questionable goals. It might have looked acceptable on paper. The story introduces mysterious elements that attempt to explain the current situation by flashing back and forth, but these pieces don’t quite fit together. There's no spark whatsoever between Bana and Connolly; Nolte seems to be merely going through the motions without any challenge from the writing or his character, and Elliott would have been better suited for a role in "The A-Team." As with most Marvel productions, it sets the stage for a follow-up film, but even then, that should have been based more on wishful thinking than genuine anticipation. The overall quality isn’t significantly superior to its television counterpart, and while it's not awful, it attempts to superficially analyze psychological elements and neglects to be enjoyable.
