The Hulk (2003-)

Movie Review

The screen version of “The Hulk” provides the background story on why mild-mannered scientist Bruce Banner (Eric Bana) transforms into the green beast. Through a series flashbacks, we learn Bruce’s dad (played by Nick Nolte with his famous 'mug shot' hair) wasn’t such a nice guy. Because of some unauthorized experimentation, Bruce’s DNA is wrong – all wrong. So wrong that if he gets angry, he becomes a big green fighting machine. Flash forward to contemporary times with Bruce romantically involved with the beautiful Betty Ross (Jennifer Connelly), envied by Glenn Talbot (Josh Lucas), and wanted by the military. As circumstances rile up Bruce, the Hulk emerges to wreak havoc. It then becomes up to the love of a good woman to soothe the savage beast.
