	Author	Review
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"It might be described, in any case, as incredible, but only in a negative sense: incredibly long, incredibly tedious, incredibly turgid"	NEG
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"A comic book movie for people who wouldn't be caught dead at a comic book movie (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Peter Rainer New York Magazine	"The result is perhaps the most elegantly shot, and certainly the most disturbing, of the recent fantasy films."	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy Variety	"No contemporary filmmaker has taken a comicbook character more seriously than Ang Lee (...) a noble, shrewd, skillful but still thwarted try at upgrading one of the preferred genres of the moment"	NEU
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Lee’s technique is impeccable, but he’s chasing more inner demons than one creature feature can handle (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Desson Thomson The Washington Post	"In the end, we don't know what we're watching, an art-house superhero film or a computer-generated 'King Kong.' By trying to please both sensibilities, the filmmakers have pleased neither"	NEU
United States	Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"'Hulk' is graceful and personal but, in the end, just a smash-'em-up blockbuster"	NEU
United States	Lou Lumenick New York Post	"This messy, disappointing, self-important and utterly humorless version of the Marvel comic book character may be the toughest flick with a green protagonist to sit through since 'The Grinch'"	NEG
