I hope you enjoy it. One review I read described it as "an art film cleverly disguised as a comic book movie" and I can kind of see what he was saying.

The story was kind of slow in parts, and some of the simpletons in the audience I was with were fidgeting in their seats a bit. It takes a good 45 minutes to an hour before Banner even turns big and green for the first time (the movie is 2 hrs 20 min). I've never minded slow movies though, as long as something interesting is going on with the characters, which was definitely the case here.

Purists of the comic will be upset with how they changed the Hulk's origins, and they turned his father into a character in the comics who is actually someone else entirely (I won't say who, I don't want to drop huge spoilers yet). It didn't bother me though, because it allowed Ang Lee to really develop the father/son relationship in an interesting way that he otherwise would not have been able to.
