It made more than 250 million, so I'd say it was fairly well received.
That much? I'm honestly surprised, I'd never looked to see what the box office was on that. Domestic, or worldwide? Anyways, all I ever hear from anyone, pretty much, is that it was at best unremarkable. I thought it really was good - not as good as Iron Man, of course, but still good. One of the positive factors for me was that while the Hulk was huge, he wasn't 15 feet tall or anything. Eight and a half or so, like in the '08 Hulk or Avengers? Dead-on, as far as I'm concerned - that's right about where he's usually portrayed in the comics, from everything I've ever seen. He's supposed to get STRONGER when he gets angry, not TALLER
. Bana did a fair job in the '03 movie, but he wasn't great, the writing was worse, the story was worse, and the directing just didn't work for me. And don't get me started on Nick Nolte, the amazing Absorbing Dad, and his radioactive attack poodle
