as close as a cinematic hulk has come to perfection.
the cinematic journey of bruce banner/hulk has been rocky with this starting it all and largely i found this charming but also sad to watch considering im gonna think about how hulk will never get such a good film and character like this again.
if anything, smart hulk is not the problem considering even classic "savage" hulk has shown in comics to be intelligent in multiple ways. its just that smart hulk is never used in benefit of the character. the film displays a pretty good dynamic between bruce and his father, it also suprisingly contains some of his regular quirks like using other names and ultimately going on the run. also the action is great.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A brooding psychological exploration of uncontrolled power and inner demons masquerading as a superhero film. It's introspective and unsettling rather than cathartic, dwelling in Banner's fractured psyche as much as in the action.
