It`s proof arthouse talent are not superior to mainstream.
just different.
the very reason sundance movies rarely ever get pirated.
===============================================================
A good film is not necessarily a blockbuster. The best films are rarely blockbusters. I haven't seen the Ang Lee film, but it is hard to imagine any Hulk movie as any sort of arthouse talent. Lee said he was trying to make a mark in every genre of film as some sort of personal challenge.
A Hulk film should depend on major special effects, and not much on anything touchy-feely. I imagine that I will see this and the other Hulk film eventually on video.
All US movies are technically excellent: the soundtrack is occasionally annoying to me if it has too much rap in it, but that is a question of style and although I think all rap and hip hop sucks, there are people who like it. The dialogue in any US film is easy to understand, the special effects are never crappy as they used to be in cheap 1950's attempts, you never see a mike boom or the shadow of a camera helicopter.
The difference is that the standard US action film is totally predictable right down to the happy ending. The more artistic film tries new techniques, and is not predictable.
Some examples are "American Beauty". "Being John Malkovich", "All about My Mother".
