I agree, I always prefered the look of Ang Lees Hulk, sadly he also spent too much time showing images of moss growing on trees and crap like that, probably works well in Chinese art films but not in an action film.

I did like the storyboard concept they used throughout the film, but it was definitely the story that let the film down. Wasn’t convinced with the actors except perhaps Sam Elliott.

Ruffalo is off IMO (but again he does well in the background of movies he’s not “Starring” in. Hence: little Rufallo, lots Hulk please!)

The Joaquin rumor was interesting and seemed right for some reason. oh well.

Its the third new hulk actor in less then ten years, thats a bit much if you ask me.
However, I would have been okay with David Tennant taking over.

Ang Lee’s was a downer to watch in-between the action (only good action is the final scenes in the desert as said above) dont get me wrong , I enjoyed what he was trying to do, but the execution wasn’t there.

that, Nick Nolte’s scenes as the abosorbing man (I think anyways) were terrible and hard to make out. not to mention the stupid dogs!

Bana was lukewarm, but thats before we knew what Bana could do. (now it doesn’t bother me)

LOVED Sam’s General Ross though!

as for the Hulk “on the run” (part 2)
they improved the pacing, look of Hulk, and tied in some Marvel easter eggs BUT failed to make it WOW us.

overall I’m good with him destroying shit in the Background of the Avengers.
just sayin’

I hear what you are saying Rodney. Hulk was conceived of as being huge, he deserves to be shown that way. That doesn’t mean it will transfer well in movies. And no it doesn’t follow that “NO superhero would be believable”.

Agree

I do agree that there were some good things in Lee’s film. I also think it gets smacked around too much. It isn’t a bad movie by amy means. But the problem with the film is that the character of Banner is played as passive and uninteresting. When he turns intto Hulk (esp. in the last 45 minutes of the film) the film has more life.

It’s a nice cerebral Hulk.
The folks wanted more action.

The recent film was much better in that area. Better FX too.

Honestly i think Ang Lee’s Hulk looked and felt more realistic than Nortons. The story was obviously weaker and could you really believe that Bana/Connelly could ever be scientists? There are tons of bangning hot scientists out there right? Nortons Hulk just look like a video game cut scene everytime he showed up. We need the actors and story of the Norton Hulk with the look and feel of Hulk from Ang Lee.

I think that’s the point lol.
