| Welcome to the Now Playing Reviews Database where
you can find our opinion of films which have had a cinema release in the UK.
Each of these movies are reviewed from a gay perspective, giving them
both an overall star rating plus our exclusive gay rating. The more stars out of a possible 10, the
better the film; similarly the more pink triangles, the greater the gay interest. A full list of
all our reviews appears below, and this week's current films are found on the Now Playing Main Page.
Most films are now available for rent on DVD and we recommend ScreenSelect who operate an efficient online rental service by post with no late fees and you can keep up to 3 DVDs for as long as you like. If you'd like a film permanently in your DVD collection, then the best prices are normally found at Amazon. | |
The Hulk Movie Rating: 
Entertaining | |
|
Thanks to an experiment gone wrong, scientist Bruce Banner (Eric Bana) turns
green and mean when riled. Then he makes things go smash. His colleague and
girlfriend, Betty (Jennifer Connelly), wants to help him, but her rabidly angry
military father (Sam Elliott) is set on destroying the Hulk's potential
danger. Meanwhile, Banner's own plain-old rabid father (Nick Nolte) just wants
control of poor Bruce.
Director Ang Lee's deadly serious direction and fondness for long scenes of people talking (and talking) threaten to slow the movie to a halt, but the animated Hulk-smashing-things sequences are entertaining and well-executed. If not quite the colossal movie experience summer audiences are craving, The Hulk's still got enough emotional weight, exciting action, nuclear explosions, and big green destruction to satisfy. |
