Most non-westernized Asians have this notion of

"these westerners are always trying to undermine me and think less of me because we tend to be timid and physically smaller than them"

kind of mentality. You see this a lot in newly transfered Asian students who purposely pick fights in schools to prove that they're tough.

I guess Ang Lee went a bit too far with his paranoia.

I am getting fed up with Superhero films now, I doubt I have seen many that were any good. I did like Batman Begins which at least showed some ambition and decent acting at the outset before rapidly going all Hollywood.
Christian Bale lacks something as Batman. He's basically a safe pair of hands while I always felt that Liam Neeson should be playing the role. He's big like Batman would be and reasonably scary.

Iron Man was the absolute pits for me, a film that was so resolutely conservative and yet made for 18-24 year olds. I caught a showing of Ang Lee's Hulk the other day and I was quite impressed with the script - at least they tried to do something more than put together some special effects.

I hope Nolan goes and does something else now, he had a lot of potential after Memento and he should try to make something great.

This Hulk film is an outcry to fix what Ang broke in the last one. What a horrible movie that was. Ang Lee should refrain from doing superhero movies ever again. He rocked the crap out of Brokeback, but Hulk? Nope. Total garbage.

I have faith this may be a top notch Hulk movie. I have my fingers crossed.

i mean, sure, the cast is great, effects look worthy, etc.
but the other one had those, and Ang Lee, and i still didn't like it.

but, i had remembered Eric Bana, from Blackhawk Down, thought he was a good choice. Jennifer Connelly is a great actress, and i've had a crush on her since Career Opportunities, with my homeboy Frank Whaley. and all other of Ang Lee's work, i could scarcely recommend more highly. y'know?

though i obviously won't hold the odd misfiring of its predecessor, against this new film.

everyone hits a grounder now and again.

It may look better than the Ang Lee film, but the question remains "Isn't it too soon to do a remake?".

I mean really... give it some time people. This is ridiculous.

This looks better than Ang Lee's Hulk movie, in my opinion.

You mean to tell me Dave Matthews has written more than one song? I guess I did notice the tracks had differing lengths on his CDs, so they must be different songs. Jewel was really good in "Ride with the Devil", Ang Lee's film about the Missouri/Kansas border skirmishes during the Civil War. It's one of the best films no one has seen. I recommend it highly.
