<font color = lightgreen>I have seen the movie, so I can give some insight without any spoilers.

True, the beginning is a little slow; I would have compressed the character introductions down a little, at least by 10 or 15 minutes. Peter had already been bitten and Matt had been blinded long before Bruce got irradiated. Oh, well....

The split screen effect is designed to make the movie look and feel more like a comic book; I really liked it (but watch Down With Love for a funnier use of split-screen shots [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img] ). Being a fan of 24, I was already used to seeing the same scene from multiple angles. [img]graemlins/awesomework.gif[/img]

The ending was rather anti-climatic, though. It would have been better had Bruce's father allowed himself to be taken away and thus leave the conflict between the two of them to be resolved in a sequel.

The animation wasn't all that bad. I've seen worse animation in Disney movies, which are supposed to be animated, but that is simply one person's opinion. [img]graemlins/beigesmilewinkgrin.gif[/img]

The fact that Bruce suffers from a dissociative psychological disorder wasn't pursued enough, I think. The Hulk is simply a suppressed personality, the personality upon whom all the bottled-up emotions were dumped, that finally gets released.

All things considered, a good 7 out of 10. Unfortunately, I don't think it will live up to all its hype, but it was a good effort nonetheless.</font>
