I rather liked it, as a movie, but I think a large part of that comes from having very little to no knowledge of the character before. I didn't really enjoy it, though, which is more what I look for from comic book movies. But it was a while ago, and I don't recall all that much about it.
Can't you ever get your mind out of the hellmouth?

I didn't really know much about the character either. I was quite taken with the gimmicky little comic book panel things.
The ending didn't make much sense, though.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
The scene with the Hulk bounding across the desert and the fight with the military was classic Hulk stuff. The rest of the movie ranged from okay to lousy, but the climax was just dumb.

Note to SFX house: 15 minute all-CGI climax that cost $50 bazillion to render should not look like an 8mm home movie of a grayish-green dust bunny being soaked in water.

I am anxiously awaiting my season 4 Farscape DVD's from zip.ca (Canadian netflix). I have lowered expectations for this season based on comments here, but I'm soooo not ready to be done with these characters and stories yet.
I remember watching the last half of Hulk on TV and yeah, wasn't that great. Liked the bounding across the desert. The ending, although I don't remember the details, I do remember scratching my head over.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think S4's flaws were magnified by the time in between episodes, because I rather liked it on DVD. The beginning of the season is very rocky, but it ends well. At least I think so.

"Till the Blood Runs Clear" was all right. Surprising continuity of alien traits with, you know, the blood running clear. Of course, this was countered with Zhaan's inexplicable ability to do...whatever she did to hide from the bounty hunters.
Aw, Crichton and D'Argo are begrudging allies.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
We're watching, although not terribly impressed yet.

Yeah, kind of bored so far. I feel like it should get more interesting, but I'm not convinced that I'm right.
