Worst SFX No.18: Hulk (2003)
Martin Anderson
Published on Jan 6, 2009
In the DVD commentary for his highly divisive version of the Marvel hard-man, director Ang Lee excused the credibility gap - perhaps not unreasonably - by noting that since the Hulk is a huge green man, there's really no way he will look real, even with the very best technology. This theory seems to have been borne out by the 2008 Edward Norton version. However, at least Louis Leterrier toned down the vivid green hue of the skin, which really hurts the 2003 incarnation. One thing Hollywood CGI artists cannot seem to get right is the human jaw, and Ang Lee's hulk has the same unwarranted motility around the mouth as was found in the Brendan Fraser Mummy films and in I Am Legend. Perhaps Weta and ILM need to hire some experts on anatomy…?
