I think that people familiar with the character, the father son storyline (which is explored in the comics) and the anti-hero aspects of The Hulk were really pleased with the first movie.

I'm 22. I didn't read comics as a child and def am not old enough to remember the show when ti was on although I have seen a few episodes and would like to watch the complete series since its suppose to rule. I didn't say I thought Hulk was just about smashing things, that was Mcclain who called my comment dumb because i only liked the action scenes in what he said was a movie just bout hulk smashing. I do want him to say hulk smash thou! I know the hulk is more than just smashing things and i like the anti-hero aspect of him(i always liked anti-heroes like punisher and wolverine) but after seeing the 2003 hulk movie my opinion became that hollywood would probably do another bad story imo instead of concentrating on the action which in my opinion was clearly the best parts of the film. I'm not even an action movie junkie. I'd much prefer a movie with a great story opposed to one with mindless action but I didn't see that in the 2003 hulk movie and the tainted experience left me just wanting a pure action hulk movie since the action scenes ruled. That wasn't my problem with the film that it wasn't sole action but I did not know the father/son issue is explored in the comics and I guess that makes ang lee decision's more practical. My problem was I felt that it was a bad story with a bad villain and inr etrospect i thought that they should of just did a pure action movie because that seems to be where it excelled.
I look forward to seeing the new film and hoping the extended version makes it onto dvd with the extra NON ACTION scenes because i believe ed norton will probably be a hell of alot better actor than who ever played banner in the 2003 flick.
