This is the 2003 version starring Eric Bana. I saw this in the theater in high school and it was hands down the worst movie I have ever paid to see. The cast looked good on paper but this movie was garbage. I have yet to see the newer Ed Norton version but even if it's bad it still had to be miles ahead of this rubbish. 1/5

I can't say that it comes even close to being the worst movie I have paid to see..... but the first time I watched it, I hated it. The second time (it is all my father's fault, for some reason, he likes this movie), I thought there were a couple of good individual scenes. I'm still not sure how a fairly good director could have messed this up so badly. The use of the split screen was irritating beyond belief. Ugh. I give it a two though, because some thought was put into character development at least. The version with Edward Norton was much better and actually a pretty fun movie.

Ang Lee is not an action film director. He tried to inject the flm with more social and cinematic significance than was appropriate. The ending didn't even make any sense. What the heck was Nick Nolte's role in the whole thing? There were some gorgeous cinematic moments that looked better than any other comic themed film I've ever seen. Over all, though, it just didn't deliver in the action department, which is what the audience for this film was paying to see.
I give it a three only because it has some truly interesting cinematic coups. Personally, I liked the split screen. It delivers the effect of "watching" a comic book play out in live action. Still, too much CGI, and I think it was made by a director who actually had disdain for the subject matter and felt it beneath him. That shows in the film, and that is not a good thing
