Eric Bana as Hulk

When an actor hits his sweet spot, inEric Bana’s case it was his breakout role in Chopper, everyone wants a taste and often it leads these guys right into theroles of some of the most iconic superheroes out there.

For Bana is was 2003’s Hulk, where he played a dimly lit Bruce Banner. For some reason the whole movie comes of as dull and depressing, perhaps at the hand of Ang Lee, who takes a deep, emotional approach to the character and his story with stylish takes and scenes.

The problem therein is, of course, that this is ultimately a story about a green guy who smashes stuff. We like to the attempt to get deeper into this character but at the risk of sounding childish, we really just wanted stuff broken.
