Just a clarification there.
Minor Spoiler Warning: I share my opinion of the ending, without saying what happened.
I'll break what I thought of the movie into pros and cons:
Pros:
1) The Hulk looked fantastic, unless you are one of those people that criticized the CG in the Matrix: Revolutions. He was a giant, green, mutant goliath, not just Lou Ferrigno painted green. He was the Hulk. He tossed around and tore apart tanks, jumped miles at a time, trashed everything around him, and couldn't be stopped by conventional weaponry. (This may be a con to those who think the Hulk came from a TV show in the late 70's. One friend of mine was making fun of all this stuff I mentioned, as if the Hulk didn't do any of that)
2) The acting was probably the best from any superhero movie since the first Batman. Nick Nolte and Sam Elliot were wonderful, and Eric Bana played the part he was given quite well.
3) Jennifer Connely is so stunningly gorgeous in this movie that I couldn't think about anything else when she was on screen. I'd comment on her acting, but I ... *drool*
Cons:
1) The "comic book" style with split screens and such annoyed me, and reminded me that I was watching a movie because I thought, "the director is trying to show off".
2) It was pretty slow for the first half of the movie.
3) The ending was very anti-climactic, which pretty much ruined the movie for me. I like a good, climactic ending. This is likely the reason most people say that it sucked. The ending indeed did suck.
I am hoping that they will make a sequel with the same actors and CG artists, but a new writer. The direction was good with the exception of those stupid Charlie's Angels- style split screens.
