Movies that feel likeHulk (2003)

Bruce Banner, a genetics researcher with a tragic past, suffers massive radiation exposure in his laboratory that causes him to transform into a raging green monster when he gets angry.

If you loved Hulk, the closest films we have are Superman Returns (2006), Okja (2017) and X2 (2003). All three share Hulk's cerebral and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

If Hulk hit the spot, these will too

Superman Returns poster
Superman Returns
2006 · dir. Bryan Singer
🍅 72%★ 6.1science fiction · action · adventureMax

A somber, deliberate superhero film more interested in ache than punching

The difference: Its melancholy is romantic longing, not rage — and it drags

Superman returns to discover his 5-year absence has allowed Lex Luthor to walk free, and that those he was closest to felt abandoned and have moved on. Luthor plots his ultimate revenge that could see millions killed and change the face of the planet forever, as well as ridding himself of the Man of Steel.

Okja poster

The same preoccupation in both: monster

A young girl named Mija risks everything to prevent a powerful, multi-national company from kidnapping her best friend - a massive animal named Okja.

X2 poster
X2

🍅 85%★ 7.4adventure · action · science fictionDisney+

Same-year mutants treated as feared outsiders hunted by the military

The difference: A confident ensemble blockbuster — you lose the lonely character study

Ra.One poster

Both are built on the same subject: superhero

The difference: Easier on the stillness than Hulk

When the titular antagonist of an action game takes on physical form, it's up to the game's less powerful protagonist to save the world.

Waterworld poster
Waterworld
1995 · dir. Kevin Reynolds
🍅 61%★ 6.3adventure · action · science fictionStarz

The same mix in both: ideas, then scale

In a futuristic world where the polar ice caps have melted and made Earth a liquid planet, a beautiful barmaid rescues a mutant seafarer from a floating island prison. They escape, along with her young charge, Enola, and sail off aboard his ship. But the trio soon becomes the target of a menacing pirate who covets the map to 'Dryland'—which is tattooed on Enola's back.

Gemini Man poster
Gemini Man
2019 · dir. Ang Lee
🍅 26%★ 5.7science fiction · action · adventureParamount+Starz

Ang Lee again treats genre spectacle as a man forced to confront himself

The difference: The clone duel is a tech demo — the inner conflict stays on the surface

Henry Brogan is an elite 51-year-old assassin who's ready to call it quits after completing his 72nd job. His plans get turned upside down when he becomes the target of a mysterious operative who can seemingly predict his every move. To his horror, Brogan soon learns that the man who's trying to kill him is a younger, faster, cloned version of himself.

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer poster
🍅 38%★ 5.6science fiction · adventure · actionDisney+

Another reluctant being whose power heralds destruction he never chose

The difference: Lightweight family fare — spectacle with no interest in psychology

The Fantastic Four return to the big screen as a new and all powerful enemy threatens the Earth. The seemingly unstoppable 'Silver Surfer', but all is not what it seems and there are old and new enemies that pose a greater threat than the intrepid superheroes realize.

Green Lantern poster
Green Lantern

🍅 26%★ 5.5adventure · action · science fictionMax

An ordinary man handed overwhelming power he barely understands

The difference: Quippy and weightless where Lee's film brooded

For centuries, a small but powerful force of warriors called the Green Lantern Corps has sworn to keep intergalactic order. Each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of the first human ever recruited.

Fantastic Four poster

Transformation played as body horror — powers as a lab accident's scars

The difference: A notorious 9%-on-RT misfire — the grim setup never pays off

Four young outsiders teleport to a dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways. Their lives irrevocably upended, the team must learn to harness their daunting new abilities and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy.

The Time Machine poster
The Time Machine
2002 · dir. Simon Wells
🍅 28%★ 6science fiction · adventure · action

Science fiction with a pulse of momentum, in both cases

The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Hoping to alter the events of the past, a 19th-century inventor instead travels 800,000 years into the future, where he finds mankind divided into two warring races.

Bloodshot poster
Bloodshot
2020 · dir. David S. F. Wilson
🍅 31%★ 5.7action · science fiction · adventureHulu

A man remade by scientists who can't trust his own mind or memories

The difference: Slick and disposable — the identity crisis is just a plot device

After he and his wife are murdered, marine Ray Garrison is resurrected by a team of scientists. Enhanced with nanotechnology, he becomes a superhuman, biotech killing machine—'Bloodshot'. As Ray first trains with fellow super-soldiers, he cannot recall anything from his former life. But when his memories flood back and he remembers the man that killed both him and his wife, he breaks out of the facility to get revenge, only to discover that there's more to the conspiracy than he thought.
