Hulk (2003)

This week the guys finally get to a theatrical release as they review director Ang Lee’s long awaited 2003 film, Hulk! After Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon became an unexpected commercial and critical darling, Lee had a slew of big budgeted opportunities flood his inbox. The two biggest ones being a follow up to James Cameron’s Terminator 2 Judgment Day, as well as the long in development by Cameron’s ex Gale Anne Hurd Hulk film. Yet, he turned down Terminator 3 in order to take the big green monster on. And after years of rejected scripts and start stops, the green light was finally given, with Eric Baja being Lee’s choice for the Banner/Hulk role. But upon release, Hulk was met with derision from both critics and audiences, with some saying there wasn’t enough action and others putting down the long built up finale between the two Banners. Will The Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast join the fray of people who reassess Hulk in a positive light?? Listen in to find out! Also, we reveal what the next retrospective series will be.
