She-Hulk is on it's way so Tony and ‪@KlaytonFioriti‬ got together to talk about what was once considered to be the worst superhero film ever. Some even thought it was the worst movie ever! We are here to let you know that Ang Lee's Hulk is actually underrated and is actually better than most modern superhero films!

Eric Bana ("Black Hawk Down") stars as scientist Bruce Banner, whose inner demons transform him in the aftermath of a catastrophic experiment; Jennifer Connelly portrays Betty Ross, whose scientific genius unwittingly helps unleash the Hulk; Nick Nolte plays Banner's brilliant father, who passes on a tragic legacy to his son; and Sam Elliott portrays the commander of a top-secret military research center.

Clayton seems like the most relatable YouTuber I’ve come across. There’s no cynicism in him, no hacky troll, just a dude who likes making videos about media he enjoys.

Don't make me Ang Lee, you wouldn't like me when I'm Ang Lee

I remember watching this movie alone in a Swedish movie theater. In the middle of the movie the ceiling lights went on and two janitors walked in and started doing loud carpentry work on a row of seats in front of me for at least five minutes while the movie kept going, then they walked out and barely kept in mind to turn off the lights afterwards.

I'm going to be completely honest... Ang Lee's Hulk is actually one of my favorite comic-book movies. If nothing else, for how ballsy, offbeat and unique it is. It feels like a movie made by a master filmmaker with a clear vision. Now... whether or not that vision is for you is going to vary wildly from person to person. And judging by the reception, it clearly wasn't the Hulk that most people wanted. But it worked for me. Lee wanted to both explore the cerebral side of the character while also trying every trick in the book he could to literally bring a comic-book to the big-screen through framing, editing, etc. And I appreciated his take on the character, and his weird, sometimes counter-intuitive ideas. It was just... something different. Hell, it still is something different. And I think it's a nice change of pace compared to other comic-book films.

Legendary Filmmaker BRIAN DE PALMA was actually The First one to do The Split-Screen Panel Trick with his earlier Films like PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE & CARRIE

When Klayton holds up Eric Bana, at 1:37 I love how you can hear the crew laughing 😂

I never found the ongoing "celebrity jumping in and dying" gag to be funny, but this one was pure gold. Tony's slow and calm reaction, and then showing the face of Shrek just had me in stitches. Bravo 👏

The dogs actually came from the comics.

I thought Jennifer Connolly and Sam Elliot were great, would love them to come back.

I’m so glad this film is getting some love in this video and it definitely needs more. I saw this back in the day at the movies. As a kid I loved it even with the more dramatic/slow burn plot. I grew up with the Hulk comics, 70s show, 90s cartoon and I watched it non stop on my VHS. I definitely don’t hate the MCU Hulk film but it definitely isn’t as good as this version. It’s surprisingly needs to be looked at from another point of view and examined because they finally gave us the proper comic adaptation of the character. Sure if they had abomination or The Leader as the villain instead of the dad I think it could have worked but I find Nick Nolte fantastic in this film. The CG doesn’t hold up as well as it could but it ain’t bad. Great action and gorgeous cinematography. Story is very adult like and enjoyed that aspect tremendously. I think Lee and the cast were just awesome. I’ll defend this movie until the day I die

Man I freaking love this channel. All the movies I want reviewed find themselves over here sooner or later and are always reviewed in depth. Quality stuff. Keep up the good work Tony. And yes Hulk is underrated 🤙🤙🤙🦄🌈🎉

I think people were more tolerable with Hulk fighting a wolf in Ragnarok because of the realm they were in. I mean you had a guy who wielded lightning. This Hulk is far more tamed and was more grounded in reality (as best as it could be I guess), so I think that's where it comes from. Was a sweet ass fight tho.

The opening theme is one of Elfman's best tracks...When I hear the Horn as the Universal logo starts. Goosebumps just like The Spider Man Columbia startup..I saw X2 at the Drive In and my Cousin got a nail in his tire and vowed to never do that again. We were early and it was already packed. Still one of my favorite experience that was. Back to Hulk, Jennifer Connolly was rocking some pretty turtlenecks and Nolte was doing the acting equivelant to his Mug Shot. Loved the movie for some great effects and the battle with Ross s Military still top much of MCU Visual Effects.

The Episode of The "INCREDIBLE HULK" TV Series where The HULK meets The Old Man HULK was the 2-Part Episode called "THE FIRST"

As for him jumping in the various movies, Leterrier, the director of the Norton Hulk movie, has said in behind the scenes stuff he wanted to keep his Hulk very grounded (I suppose literally in this case). But thankfully Whedon seems like he had enough reverence for Hulk to stay largely true to his powerset, hence having him superjump in the Avengers movies. I remember when we first saw an action shot of the Hulk in a Superbowl TV Spot for Avengers 1, and it was him soaring through the sky to smash some flying aliens, it was such a breath of fresh air after 2008! It was incredible to see him soaring again for the first time since 2003! I hate when media doesn't depict him as being able to soar through the air! You may as well take away Spidey's web swinging, THAT's how integral I think super jumping is to Hulk.

Glad to finally see someone admit they feel the way I do about this film, it only took 20 years to happen.😤

It's funny when you go back and look at these older marvel movies especially when you realize there was apparently a Man-Thing movie. Also is that Hulk run with the control room the current Donny Cates run cause that's crazy and I love it
