In Defense of Hulk

What if Ang Lee’s 2003 Hulk movie isn’t as bad as everyone said it was? Comic-book adaptations typically invent new adventures for their protagonists while remaining relatively faithful to the back story of their heroes. Lee, however, reimagined the story of the Hulk, blending elements from the comic book, the television show that aired in the ’70s and ’80s, and his own imagination. The verdict? Comic-book fans, critics, and everyone in between agreed: It stunk.
