If batman started afresh and good, why not the hulk. I'm worried that they will dumb down the Hulk and Banner charactert on the basis of the first. Many thought the first to be to intelligent, what a load of crap. the reason it failed was because of its stupidity. generally good acting in Ang Lees version, but everything else was nonsence. I'm not sure Ang Lee had ever read a Hulk comic or seen the tv series. The TV movies created a Banner and Hulk one could relate to much more than the 2003 film. Hulk relates and is flawed in a way that batman does, I think he and batman play the opposite psychological and mythic roles than supes and spidey, where as the former draw on the primordial rage, angst and innerdemons manifest in all of us, the latter rel;ate as archetypal heroes to aspire to. thats why people related to Banner, he expressed the suppressed rage in us all. the irony that banner and hulk ultimates goals are to find peace, and yet it is because of the very existence of the other that neither can do so, is one of the most interesting and subtle psychologiocal dilemas explored in superhero mythology. The sense of lonilinesss and pathos in both is really interesting, especially because we know ultimately they are both good guys, and like ying and yang, the soul of hulk and why he is so heroic is banner, but it is also actually banners rage that fuels the hulk, not the obstacles that Hulk faces. By Ang Lee making banner enjoy becoming the Hulk was immediately going to lose the depth and humanity of the original character. which is why nobody related to him. it was awful, stupid, and it will be unfortunate if they dumb down Hulk again because the first film was to clever, apparently.

Only the Hulk and Abomination are in slo-mo. The flames in the background move at normal speed. I dunno why that catches me everytime but it does...

I'm still not blown away with this movie. It sounded good when it was pitched at Comic-con last year. But, I just don't think Hulk translates well to film.

It isn't the movie I'm most excited for, but it is in the list. It makes for an interesting story, remaking this movie so soon after the last one. It is kind of a strange "Monday morning quarterback" situation isn't it? Easy to see the mistakes in the last one and do something different, I'm very curious to see what happens.

Not only that, but Ed Norton is a better actor than Eric Bana any day of the week. Batman, Iron Man, Hellboy, and the Hulk in one summer. Could a fanboy ask for anything more?

It's a total cgi creature fighting another total cgi creature. Even in Transformers, the camera and story stayed focused on the humans.
