Which HULK Film Do You Prefer?

Just curious which film everyone prefers. I actually much prefer the Ang Lee film. Flawed though it may be, I find it far more satisfying visually, emotionally, and psychologically. I honestly thought the 2008 film was quite vapid and uninteresting (even though Liv Tyler was good in it, she couldn't save the film all on her own). I'm not familiar with any of the comics or anything, though.

HULK (2003)

or

The Incredible Hulk (2008)

It's no contest as far as I'm concerned, The Incredible Hulk is wayyyy better. Better acting, better story, it ties in to the current Avengers storyline, better villain... I can go on and on.

Yeah, I guess that's one of the main flaws with the Ang Lee version (although I don't necessarily see it as a flaw): there's not really a very clear focus on a villain. In fact, the end of the film doesn't really make much sense to me... haha.. I honestly don't really know what's going on, heh. But, I guess I enjoy the performances more, between Nick Nolte and Eric Bana. And I like that the villain isn't just some hulking manifestation of all that is bad.. makes it a bit more abstract and complex.

I honestly felt like The Incredible Hulk was just some boyish fantasy to have two big monster dudes fighting a lot. Found it rather boring.

The one that has Deadpool in it.

Oh, and call me crazy, but I actually really liked the split-screen comic style that Ang Lee went for. I thought that worked surprisingly well.

I think being the only crazy one in a thread means that I'm the only sane one.. or, uh... something. 😖hifty: 😕

Both movies sucked.

In Lee's Hulk I enjoyed the action scene with tanks and pretty much that's it.

In TIH the only good moments were Hulk doing a thunderclap, enhanced Blonsky (pre-Abom) and Stark appearing in the after-credits scene.

Actually was before the credits, so everyone saw that scene, not just the Marvel fans waiting around till the end Lol

I almost made that one of the options. That, and "I like them equally," but I thought about it for a second and I really wanted to force people to pick one or the other. *shrug*

I just liked the way hulk's strength was portrayed in the first movie as opposed to the second. Hulk was pretty beast in the first. The second one pretty much just had the thunderclap. Other than that, he wasn't really anymore impressive than say, the thing. Incredible hulk had better acting, story etc. I prefer the strength shown in the first hulk, but Incredible hulk was a better movie.

no contest...,nortons hulk. Shame there wont be a sequel.

If I had to choose, it'd be Lee's Hulk.

There might still be if the character does well in Avengers. But obviously wnt be a sequel with Norton.

Norton's Hulk was better than Ang Lee's Hulk

Isn't Jennifer Connelly in Hulk? If so, Hulk> Incredible Hulk.

Bana Hulk was the better Hulk.

YEAH!! RepreSENT, Prep-Man and CosmicComet!! 😄

Hated '03 Hulk but I really enjoyed the '08 Hulk. The problem with the '03 Hulk lacks the tone and feel that a Hulk movie should have. The movie was way too moody and depressing. '08 Hulk felt a lot more like a Hulk movie should have. And Edward Norton played a better Bruce Banner/Hulk than Eric Bana IMO.

However, one thing I like about the 03 Hulk is that it used stuff from Peter David's Hulk comics. THAT was one of the things that I really liked about the movie (and one of the only things I liked too). But overall, '08 Hulk wins this for me.
