Ang Lee is an interesting mix of "oh, man, that was awesome!" and "I can't believe I just spent two hours of my life watching that."
Oddly, I seem to have it exactly the opposite of everyone else. I find Eat Drink Man Woman utterly fascinating on just about every level, and The Hulk is good, stupid turn-your-brain-off mindless-action fun. (But then, I have had a man-crush on Eric Bana ever since Chopper. I mean, I even sat through Lucky You. Sheesh.)
Then there's Crouching Tiger, Over Hyped, which is intensely boring (despite having an incredible cast) if you've seen any two other (superior*) wire-fu flicks. And The Ice Storm, which managed to pack in almost every actor working in Hollywood today I absolutely adore and still managed to not gel. That said, I have a serious, intense loathing for the guy who wrote the book, which probably colored my vision of the film more than a little. But when I can't get into the idea of Sigourney Weaver as a swinger? Something's way wrong.
