It was by no means a "romp" Ive always liked the work of Ang Lee, and this is definetly an Ang Lee movie. It is slow, paced, even ponderously so in parts, as the main 2 characters(Bruce and Betty) are developed and interact. I think his direction and the use of the paneled screen worked well. My complaints are that the main chracters about we are to care so much about, come across soooo low key. I think all the actors did a good job, but it was kind of hard to car about Bruce Banner since he was so distant. I guess that was a theme of the story, but unlike the emotional distance felt by the characters of  Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon I felt no tension or really empathy for them.Another peeve would be with how literally dark many of the action scences were. Several of the sequences occured at night and on the screen seemed hard to follow.Finally while the father/son plotline was the main thrust of the film (along with the Ross's father/daughter dynamic) I felt the resolution was a bit off. Nick Noltes absorbing man transformation and final battle felt tacked on and just served to prolong the movie to me.As for the positive- the CGI effects were well done. The Hulk seemed a believable character. His movements were great, he stumbled, fell and was subject to the rules of the physics as he ran and leaped--just great. It was a hoot to see the Hulk rmapaging around the desert being chased by the Army. And the fight scenes were outstanding. Hulk truly acted as a creature of rage, fighting quite viciously. Oddly enough as pointed out on these boards, he seemed unable to kill any humans and it even seemed at one point he save damage to the Golden Gate Bridge.So for me it would be a 2 and half out of 4. Id recommend it, cause its a interesting take on comic book mythos. And the CGI scenes are worth it. Just dont expect Spiderman-its more akin to Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.</blockquote>
