political correctness

Rating: 1/10 (17 June 2008)

This is the most politically correct action film of the last 5 years. There is no story. The American army is evil. All the villains are men who wear medals and ribbons. It is an anti American film to the extreme. They throw in a British army villain because they Hollywood liberals hate the fact that we are allies with London.
No adventures here in this film. Scene after scene of hospital stuff and close ups of bruises. If you like medical scenes than this is the film for you. The film goes down hill fast after a decent Brazil opening. It is obvious that the film is anti military and wastes our time. We thought the new film would not waste so much time on medical stuff like the one a few years ago. This one is worse.
We also get the soap opera father daughter problems. The female lead is a phony sickening sweet annoying person. I seldom criticize female leads but this one is terrible. Lines like "its OK, I like it" and her switch from sweetness to her profanity laced tirade against a cab driver are pathetic. She condescends constantly and has an air of knowing all things which is horrible. My least favorite lead in a decade.
The best part of the film was Ed Norton's acting and a decent fight scene at the end. Not enough. The television show was so good and had meaning. The villains are wimps and all soldiers are portrayed as evil or stupid. I am sure that people in other countries will believe that the American Army is truly evil. This is a shame when our real soldiers are nothing like this. This empty hate America film is depressing. Hulk is my least favorite film of last three years.
