I have to agree that Ang Lee is a far better director than Tim Burton. It's not even a valid comparison to pit his work against Burton's. Ang Lee _IS_ the big leagues.

 

Ang Lee's work spans serious drama such as:

 

Ice Storm

Sense and sensibility

Ride with the Devil

Crouching tiger, hidden dragon

 

His asian films are great too..eat drink man woman and the Wedding Banquet.

 

Sense and sensibility and CTHD both had multiple academy awards and nominations attached. While Ice storm was nominated by Cannes and a bunch of foreign film awards.

 

It's really odd that hollywood asked him to do the Hulk. Even Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon wasn't really a popcorn "kung fu" action film. I think that point was lost with many Hollywood producers.

 

Ang Lee is all about serious drama and I can see that the direction he tried to take Hulk had a lot to do with his directing style. Unfortunately it's hard to be completely serious about a comic book character and market it to a bunch of people who just want to see a couple hours of "Hulk Smash."

I need to go and see it..... Lots of good posts in this thread...

[Rickdogg]

The movie was good. They actually gave "life" to the Hulk by establishing some sort of background. Also digged the scenes where they had multiple screen shots going at one time (looked like a comic book ) Only thing I wanted was more of Hulk Smash!!!!!! & shots of Jennifer in a thong.

anybody know the totals for the HULK movie? I have heard just over $60M......

[JiveTurkeyMoFo]

I just read $62.6 million. Not bad, considering the Hulk has a smaller built-in fan base than either X-Men or Spidey, but still well short of X2's opening weekend. Still, the lowest grossing opening weekend for any of the recent Marvel movies was just over $40 million for Daredevil. Those are the type of numbers that will keep getting comic book movies made.

Are you sure about this? I think you are under-estimating the popularity of the 70's Hulk TV series. My bet is that most people out there are more aware of who the Hulk is than the X-Men.

[aardvark88]

Teenagers remember the X-men from the Sat. morning cartoon. Adults recall the Lou Ferrigno Hulk as a point of reference. Hulk is storming the box office now b/c no other major release is opening against it. Make way for Charlie's Angels 2 next week.

[g-man]

Full Throttle might put Hulk at #2. Will Hulk break $150M?

[BachelorOfComix]

Will Hulk break $150M?

Domestically, doubtful. With international gate receipts, most likely.

[fantastic_four]

Hulk cost a lot more than any of the other films at $137 million, $177 million with marketing. Got a while to get to profitability.

[BigMan]

Hulk will probably make a easy 200 million in profit after everything is said and done. With a already a cool 63 million, 7 million less than I estimated , was estimated this weekend in ticket sales. I know it will be part of my DVD library and others as well so it has a lot of profitability left in it. The sequel will be the one to bring Hulk Home like Spiderman 2 will probably break another record if Doctor Octopus is a cool as they are hyping him to be already.

[musicmeta]

All in all, not a bad flick...I'd give it a respectable 3 out of 5 stars. Better than "Daredevil" but not even close to as good as "X2" or "Spider-Man". It was certainly not as good as the first "Batman" either, in my book.

 

Exactly my opinion also. It did kind of drag in some spots, but still a good movie.

Man, I think you're OVER-estimating the popularity of the 70s series! If anything, that could have HURT the Hulk's appeal to people who remember that garbage!
