    The New York Times Dana Stevens

    The movie is bulky and inarticulate, leaving behind a trail of wreckage and incoherence.

    Wall Street Journal Joe Morgenstern

    The movie's real locus of anger must have been the director, Ang Lee, once he realized what an epic clod his computer wizards had wrought.

    Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum

    A comic-book superhero has seldom squandered so much screen time being conflicted about his heritage and destiny -- and I don't mean conflicted in a sexy, Wolverine-y, ''X-Men'' way, either; a big-budget comic-book adaptation has rarely felt so humorless and intellectually defensive about its own pulpy roots.

    USA Today Mike Clark

    There's a fine line between darkness and glumness, one that "Spider-Man" bounced off buildings to avoid. The Hulk lumbers across it.

    Los Angeles Times Manohla Dargis

    However nifty, Lee's Cubist gambit fails to capture the graphic tension that makes great comic-book art jump off the page and great pop movies jump off the screen with pow, zap and wow!

    Variety Todd McCarthy

    This impeccably crafted piece of megabuck fantasy storytelling aims to pull off the tricky feat of significantly reworking the superhero format while still providing the expected tentpole-type entertainment thrills for the international masses.

    Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert

    Ang Lee has boldly taken the broad outlines of a comic book story and transformed them to his own purposes; this is a comic book movie for people who wouldn't be caught dead at a comic book movie.

    Hits on all cylinders -- a smart blend of acting, direction, editing, design, costumes and effects.

    Chicago Tribune Michael Wilmington

    A movie likely to rally huge audiences who want to take another roller coaster ride. And though it may disappoint a few of them, it's also a film that gives you something to think and feel sad about. It smashes you -- gently.

The Hulk lacks personality; not a great movie.
