Here's a blurb:
From its 1962 comicbook origins in The Incredible Hulk by Stan Lee and Jack
Kirby, director Ang Lee’s classic movie Hulk
(2003), updates and re-invents the story of how scientist Bruce Banner is
transformed into a giant rage monster, and becomes a new antihero for the 21st
century. This book reviews the movie’s narrative complexity and its varied
genre elements, which include science fiction, tragic drama, action thriller,
doomed romance, and a modern fairytale with mythological references, energised
by an artistically innovative editing style, and realised by groundbreaking
visual effects.
As a neurotic ‘puny human’ changes into the
unstoppable ‘Angry Man’, Hulk offers
a study of dysfunctional family relationships, and monster-movie rampages with tank-busting,
helicopter-crashing mayhem in ‘hulkgasm’ adventures, that results in a final
confrontation of cosmic proportions. A unique aesthetic spectacle, and
extraordinary makeover for Hollywood
blockbuster cinema, Hulk is the
greatest screen adaptation of a comicbook and it rediscovers the enduring
legacy of a green-skinned ‘superhero’ without a costume.
