The thing we call critics are not really reviewers, they are not really critics. They don't have the discipline to write what we would term as critique - it's really just reviewers. They have a common man kind of taste. If you watch them overall, they are not different from the box-office. That's my view.
Ang LeeI don't like to deal with studios. I don't like to have conversations with executives. I pitch to the studio, then never talk to them until the test screening.
Ang LeeI don't think the Hulk is a superhero. He's the first Marvel character who is a tragic monster. Really an anti-hero.
Ang LeeAfter making several tragic movies in a row, I was looking to do a comedy, and one without cynicism.
Ang LeeI think for most people, the audience probably couldn't tell the difference, but I know they [shots of visual effects] can be better. And the people working know they can be more precise. I'm still doing another round of sound mixing and color timing, pretty technical stuff. I think the movie [Life of Pi] is really presentable, nothing was left out that would take you out of the movie. I just need to perfect the job and I still have two weeks to go [to deliver final cut to Fox].
