The Take
Hulk (2003) clocks a 61 Slop Score as an auteur swing that prioritizes daddy issues over action payoff. Ang Lee's clear voice dodges committee rot yet the pacing and panel gimmicks make Banner's pulse the most exciting part.
This is the Hulk for people who want slow-motion trauma sessions instead of rampages.
The Verdict
Skip it. The 61 Slop Score captures an interesting but inert experiment that mistakes slow-motion trauma for spectacle.
Watch Logan instead for Marvel with actual movie momentum.
