Reverse Shot has a terrific review of Sex & The City. I liked the movie a lot more but I'm 100% with Chris Wisniewski on the "corrective" in terms of Samantha's narrative and the disappointingly limited thinking most critics have engaged in

Poor Bana. I'll defend Ang Lee's Hulk to my dying breath as an underappreciated gem, I will. Edward Norton ain't fit to lick Bana's shoes! Although I would pay to see that. A lot. More if I had a private audience to it.
There's nothing wrong with thinking about Bana. :)

I'd say something along the lines of "selling out" re: the Hulk/Iron Man/etc hype and tie ins, but I think I'm in the wrong place to do that. (Really, why would anyone want to create a nostalgia for what was, as I recall, a pretty cheesy TV show?)
