WEAK in Sooo Many Area's..... True Let Down

Rating: 5/10 (22 June 2008)

Where do I start...? The writing was probably the weakest aspect of this film with the directing close behind.
The pace of the film...? Seemed they wanted to build a fairly strong drama base yet it kept going on and on without good dialogue to support it.
I thought the CGI was 'far' below that of the 2003 version. Previous Hulk actually had depth! Emotion facially as well as in body language. This version seemed to have none. And the CGI being so bad that it was literally distracting.
Liv Tyler... she normally doesn't stand out for me however in my opinion, she did the most with her part, even more then Norton. And I'm a Norton fan yet he seemed to be less engaged characteristically then most of his other work.
Tim Roth... good effort however I just didn't buy him and I believe only due the director.
William Hurt as the General... Good choice, he did a decent job. Yet one major deficit to his character was he would flip flop so drastically on the connection with his daughter. One moment he couldn't care much less about her let alone help you believe he was her father. And the next, he's demanding she be protected, Huh?
I believe the ultimate downfall is owed to the Director for not joining all the pieces together to make an entertaining and well told story. His direction was weak, kept a weak script, infused no chemistry between the characters and the sad thing about it.... is other then a 'better writer' being needed, he had everything else from budget to talent to tent pole to make this film bring the character of the Hulk into the league it should and could be.
Why the suits let such an inexperienced director like Louis Leterrier helm such an important character and film is beyond me. (Oh... probably less dough) If that's the case, you get what you pay for. And we get let down.
Truly Saddened
