Not a very good movie on its own. As part of the Marvel Universe, it's awful! It's so forgettable, I originally watched it almost exactly six years ago and didn't remember anything about it. BTW, I'm rewatching the Marvel Universe in chronological order which is the only reason I watched this again.
It doesn't have a particularly good story and has some huge plot holes. Especially irritating is that the movie plays out Banner becoming the Hulk in the opening credits and not particularly well. The movie opens with Banner hiding in South America already on the run. If you don't pay much attention to the opening credits, you're kind of lost as the movie starts, even if you do pay attention to the opening credits, you're still kind of lost.
The acting is ok, but nothing special. After watching the Hulk in the Avenger movies, it's hard to see any of the actors as convincing in their roles. Liv Tyler's soft spoken, breathy voice was especially irritating.
The action is actually pretty good, although the military doesn't come off very well! The CGI isn't bad and holds up pretty well 14 years later.
It's not a complete waste of time but there's nothing special or memorable about it. I originally gave it a 6 out of 10 and, if anything, I might go down to a 5 out of 10 on my second watch.
