Not exactly a HULKing achievement but good nonetheless

"Hulk" isn't yer basic 2-minutes-of-plot-development-now-onto-the-FX kind of movie - it's much more, thanks to the impressively thoughtful script, Ang Lee's always-ambitious direction and a stand-out performance from Nick Nolte. The only problem: not enough chemistry between Bana and Connelly. The scenes between them that should have resonated with deep feeling - the actual emotional core of the film - somewhat missed the mark because I didn't feel the two characters actually had a connection. Still well-worth seeing, for the plot involving the two fathers (Nolte as one of them) and the overall high-mindedness of the venture.
