It has its flaws like the bad execution of the comic-book style cinematography and in SOME cases outdated vfx.
Other than that this movie is the only one to truly explore Bruce Banner's past and the internal struggle he has with the Hulk and how his troubled past gives him all the anger and rage which feeds the Hulk. In this film they focus more on character building and development rather than mindless action.
The villain is well acted and memorable, his dialogue with Banner before the final showdown hits hard.
Ang Lee's Hulk (2003) did more character development for Banner in 2 hours than the entire fraud MCU in 20+ movies.
The effects are good for 2003 standards, the Hulk looks good and true to comics and keeps growing with more anger and rage. The only truly bad case of CGI was the explosion in the water when the fighter pilots drop a bomb. And let's be honest, movies that come out today also does not have good CGI either with much better technology and bigger budgets within their reach.
I think this film balances character drama and action really well. It's well paced and has a nice payoff. I think it receives flack because it is not the average superhero movie and instead tried something original.
