Everything GREAT About Hulk!

Hulk! The other one! Which is unfair because it came first even if it's not part of the MCU and he's still pretty incredible. The artsy one, the slow one, the Ang Lee-est one! You probably already know how I feel, but now you'll know why. Here's everything right with Hulk 2003!

Fun fact: The explosion of the bomb from the aerial attack is real. It’s a Fuel-Air-Explosive or short FAE-Bomb and those look like that.

YES. I unapologetically love this version of the Hulk. There's so many great tortured & psychologically interesting stories that could be explored within the MCU with Hulk, and this movie was the first to really go there full tilt. Gotta respect it for that.

I actually think that because Hulk was drenched in water, him shrinking back to Bruce gave less surface area for the water to stay on, which is why he's forming a puddle as he shrinks

Nowadays it's cool to 'hate' things that 'some' hate. Is Hulk perfect? No, but it was good, even the CGI. People hate this movie because it wasn't what they expected, but at least it is not a cookie cutter story.

Wow... I'm surprised he missed with the "Puny human" moment meant. Yes, in the desert, there was still a lot of Bruce holding him back. Bruce is usually always holding him back. There are few times we honestly get Savage Hulk. There was a point where he always goes to the desert (his birthplace) to calm down. Bruce was more in control there. They inadvertently saved themselves by having him there. Once Hulk moved away from there and into San Fran? Bruce was slipping. Saving that pilot was the last of Bruce. Every time he spared them, it brought more trouble. The rage was building. Talk about artistic choices. Bruce was simply shaving, showing that threat of Hulk happening at almost any time, and couldn't see himself anymore. As he tried to clear his "mirror"(how he sees himself) all that was there was the Hulk. The ease in his mental defenses (as "Bruce" was passing out from low oxygen), allowed Hulk to break through. That barrier was gone. Not only did he snatch Bruce into the "darkness" (depths of their mind, MCU Banner alluded to this in Ragnarok), he literally pulled himself into the light doing so. They were very lucky to have Betty there to snap Bruce back to the surface, because, at that point, we were about to get full on Savage Hulk. That's what Bruce really meant about her finding him. Up to then, they made it a point of showing Talbot as the only casualty. That number was about to DRASTICALLY change.

5:45 He flexes his muscles to make the dog break his jaw. This deserved a win

12:00 - it's not that his body is losing water, it's that as his body's surface area decreases, the water on his skin is falling off faster.

Ang Lee’s “Hulk” is my favorite stand-alone comic book movie, potentially my favorite comic book movie in general. And I perceive it as a prequel to “The Incredible Hulk” just saying.

[davidhanson]

I remember an interview with Ang Lee where he said something like he didn't know how to make a comic book movie, but he did know how to make a Greek Tragedy. Seen through that light, this movie totally makes sense: generational conflict, inescapable dooms, no "Happy" endings.
There's really only one thing I don't like in this movie: David Banner doesn't bother to comb his own hair, but he keeps his poodle trimmed into that ridiculous style? People realize poodles aren't like that naturally, right? Really, the hulked-out dogs looked sort of sill in general, but I consider the limitations of the tech at the time.
Is it me, or does Josh Lucas have the world's worst case of crazy eye?

[morganic]

one of the most underrated movies ever

[ZapsESP]

I can't remember how many times I've watched this movie as a kid, I loved it.

[philliptivis]

The fight with the tanks and choppers is still my favorite on screen representation of The Hulk. Lee's mo capping Hulk as a tantrum-throwing toddler with insane strength is terrifying.

[thanegrace]

Please put "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" on your list. It's honestly such a great film and really doesn't get enough credit for its great storytelling.

Also thank you for the continued content 💜💜💜

I remember being soooo confuced when I learned people didn't like this movie. I think it was the first movie I saw multiple times in theaters. I also never understood people not thinking he looked like he was there, he totally does, he looks so huge and weird but because the editing is also weird you kinda just buy it. Absolutely dig it.

[EarthPhoenix]

10:00 bruh 🤦🏼‍♂️ I didn’t realize he hit his own nuttz with a tank barrel

[BigSteve]

I like this hulk the best. He grows as he gets angry. I never thought the effects looked terrible like everyone said. It was one of the first marvel movies I've seen and i have watched it many times.

[michaelcubed]

How about Everything Great About Prince of Egypt? Underrated gem.

[drbroberts]

@10:40 On rewatch, I think a more correct interpretation of this moment would be to say that the lichen subconsciously reminds him of his mother. In the beginning of the film, we get to see her gardening desert plants as baby Bruce is looking from inside the window. So, the reason he continues to be interested in lichen, even as the hulk, is that the hulk is representational of his toddler-age trauma, which the lichen/gardening precedes. The childlike wonder is always there, connected to whatever remnant of a memory he may have for his mother.

At least, that is how I interpreted those moments. There’s also a lot of imagery of rapid cellular generation, so maybe the fact that lichen grow slowly yet surely is another factor.

[DigiRangerScott]

10:23 No, just like Superman didn’t fly initially, just “leap tall buildings in a single bound”

One of the biggest things they got right is he's huge, and he gets bigger, stronger and beefier the madder he gets like in the comics, his size changes quite a bit and we've never seen any of that in the MCU hulk
