Of course he does, he's an anti-Marvel fanboy. The only thing worse than being a pro-Marvel fanboy.
Superman, in contrast, has a lot more abilities that have zero explanation than Hulk.
Ok, so he needs the Sun to be strong. Fine, although it's hard to explain how the Sun makes him strong enough to move planets (Not that you'd have to, because I realise it's a comic).
What about eye beams, freezing breath, flying, moving faster than light?
Hulk is tame in contrast to a lot of other characters' developments in history. They've only really done things with his strength, they haven't given him the ability to fly or warp time, here. Let's be fair about who we pick out.
That said, simple answer? Hulk just has haters, man. That's what it is, usually. People hate that the character has evolved, fairly, and is stronger than their favourite person (Hulk isn't actually my favourite).

I don't think it is necessarily that they get stronger than someone's favourite character. To me stories just get boring when the superheroes fight on galaxy level, hopping from planet to planet, beating the shit out of metaphysical concepts. Not into that much.

Funny thing, I was actually thinking of Superman. It was a general statement though. I don't know much about Hulk. I didn't read any Marvel since Heroes Reborn.
yes solar rays make people fly. why I was just out having a sandwich at 20,000FT earlier today... hazards of bright sunny summer day.
Superman's powers are just as irrational and bizarre as Hulk's powers, both are part of the territory - "it's comics" - and neither are worth the time nitpicking over. whatever axe you've got to grind, you won't get anywhere wasting your time with me over this.
Ah, the Hulk....finally a movie that does him justice. I'll be really glad to see this movie on opening day. It has the perfect cast and they look as if they're going to be used to their full potential. In the 2003 movie, they had a good cast but their acting was stale (bad material, I guess). The design for the Hulk is also much better and he's much more of a beast.

There are more description of the scenes previewed (the chase scene at the beginning of the movie, besides others) and Lou Ferrigno cameo [spoiler](He is credited as the Hulk Voice)[/spolier]
Sounds Interesting, It was said that Incredible Hulk will be a reboot, but once the trailer was out, it seemed like a sequel.... Things are clearer now
I like the direction it's taking, it certainly caught my attention... I still don't like the CGI that much, but it's a much better improvement over the first one... and I certainly like this story (or what it seem to be). The First Hulk sucked almost on every account

The CGI is good to me (not as good as the first Hulk movie) but I like it, the look of the Hulk is certainly more scary and looks a lot better. Not too human, and not too monstrous either. I'm sure that Marvel has learned from the mistakes of the first movie and has made this movie as good as possible. This is gonna be the Hulk franchise we've always wanted.
Watched it last night, liked it a lot. Much better than the Ang Lee. Norton was a better Banner, Hulk looked and "acted" better too. Definately worth watching.
The Tony Stark scene is at the end, you don't have to sit through the credits for it.
I thought Tim Roth had all the acting ability of dry wall in his first scenes, but he definitely found his feet as time went on. I wasn't happy with Betty Ross, but she wasn't horrifying, and had her good moments. I preferred Jennifer Connelly. To this day, other than Jennifer Connelly, Gwyneth Paltrow is the only actress playing a Marvel character that I've been able to stand.
Norton was almost as good as Banner as Downey Jr was for Stark. Downey Jr did have real life Stark experience going in, though. A rich, boistrous, flamboyant playboy...playing the same thing. William Hurt nailed General Ross, can't decide if I liked Elliot's Ross better, but it was as good at least.
Nice touches to have Dr. Leonard Samson (Doc Samson) in it, even though he was unnamed (And they apparently cut out the scenes between him and Banner talking about psychiatry as seen in the trailers). I don't know if they should have him in it as Doc Samson for movies to come, because they might end up with too many characters, and we saw what that did to X-Men and Spider-Man 3. I'm happy with [SPOILER - highlight to read]: The Leader as the villain for the next one. Very nice set-up and it'll be very believable that Sam Sterns holds a grudge against Banner for his mutation.
Besides that, it was a much better movie and I think it's probably my fav Marvel flick behind Iron Man.
It was very exciting, quite funny and continuing a cool new Marvel trend it seems; no overflooded romance.
Hurt was a far better Ross, I always felt Elliot was trying too hard for the role.
I didn't care much for Liz, she didn't do a horrible job, but Connolly was better. Did you notice Liz's botched lip-job? Way too much botox, it kept drawing my eyes to her mouth.
Yeah, the scene in the trailer where Banner and Samson are talking about psychobable was cut. I thought Samson was a scientist not a shrink in the comics?
Which I though was funny, since I'd think [SPOILER - highlight to read]: The Leader would be a good Iron Man villain.
Doc Samson is sometimes involved in science just because he's such a genius, but he's primarily a psychiatrist, hence why he's so useful around Banner. He has strength to at least bother the Hulk more than others would, if he goes crazy, and at the same time he's a trusted friend who understands a lot of Banner's/Hulk's mind.
Regarding the other guy, teah, it's not someone you think of being a main nemesis of Hulk. Although, he's not really an Abomination kind of villain, someone who fights Hulk. He's more like...Hulk exists, I want the power, kind of thing. It works. It's like the Superman/Lex Luthor relationship, except much more threatening.
I think Tim Blake Nelson is going to have arguably the best Marvel adaptation role ever in that, because he had that great combination of childish excitement, curiousity and eccentricity about him already, as well as genius and cowardice. That's something that [SPOILER - highlight to read]: The Leader has in abundance.
I Thought that this movie was definitely an improvement on the ever growing quality of Marvel Movies.
As for a more entertaining movie, I think that Iron Man was better, but the action sequences in Hulk were definitely better.
What I really liked about this movie was that it gave hulk fans things they wanted to see but wouldn't think of asking for. Like the atomic clap! And boxing gloves made from a car. That was pretty cool that they whipped it out. I liked the allusion to Captain America in there, and I think they made the Hulk himself look much better than Ang Lee's, and portrayed his strength extremely well.
I was just reading that there were 70 minutes cut from this movie, which will appear on the DVD.
One scene involves Banner retreating to the Arctic Circle after deciding to kill himself, and it has been alleged that he meets Captain America. This has been refuted and confirmed by various people involved, though. We'll have to see.
"The other bit of news is… I pressed him on the Captain America cameo that he talked about last week. He again reiterated that Captain America is in the movie, but he would not drop where he’s in it. Obviously as more people see the movie, someone will notice him in the background somewhere and word will leak out."
Or just google "70 minutes cut from hulk", there are varios links that spool.
