Edward Norton did an amazing job, better than Bana.
However, both movies have positives.
Ang Lee's Hulk was a great cinematic work, and it captured a lot of the drama and psychology of Hulk's story. I think The Incredible Hulk didn't do that as well, but it came closer to balancing it with the time it had. Given three hours, as Lee's was, it would have surpassed it I feel.
I prefer it, but Ang Lee's Hulk is by no means poor.

Sums it up. The first Hulk has a lot of virtues - and the feats done by Hulk were more impressive there - but it was undone by Ang Lee's overkill of style, with the parallel image cuts which got old after the first act. The second one, by being more conventional felt closer to the Marvel comic. And the Hulk was better shaped, body wise.
They should have swopped Tim Roth and Edward Norton - Tim Roth is one of the most brilliant, fantastic actors of our generation - he would have played a neurotic, conflicted Bruce Banner to perfection, based on his previous roles like The Legend of 1900

while Edward Norton would have made a good baddie, based on his action roles as in American History X.
"The Incredible Hulk" (2nd one) was a better story and tighter film, and I liked Norton a little better than Bana (I wasn't particularly impressed with either). But "The Hulk" had better Hulk feats and overall better cast.
When the 2nd one is on tv, I may or may not watch it.
When the 1st one is on, I remember when the cool parts are and almost certainly will watch them.
i liked both
1st one had cool hulk , who bit teh missile threw teh tank , leapt and ran fast
2nd cool fight with abomination
they shoud lof just done a sequel for the 1st and saved time and money
...explaling the growing hulk could be dealth with by saing his power wasn't stabilized and that now he stays his orginal height but strength increases with rage

Both have there pros and cons. Neither are bad and neither are certainly great.Both have great action when Hulk fights the military.
But Hulk (2003) is poor b/c of the long runtime. The Incredible Hulk (2008) just has some flat out cheesy and cringeworthy dialogue delivered by Liv Tyler.
Liv Tyler was terrible in that movie I dont know if it was lines she was giving or she just cant act but terrible.
