Plodding 'Hulk' not much fun
By DAVID GERMAIN
AP Movie Writer
AP Movie Writer
Ang Lee attracted droves of subtitle-shy Americans to his Mandarin-language epic "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," an elegant and deeply passionate story of tragic heroes.
With "Hulk," director Lee is working from comic-book roots intimately familiar to Americans. Yet he produces an emotionally anesthetized tale that's short on plot and heavy on hushed brooding, the somber tone undermined by a silly-looking 800-pound computer-animated gorilla.
