Which Hulk film is better: The Incredible Hulk (2008) OR Hulk (2003)?
And why?
For me, both films have their pros and cons and are severely underrated by a lot of people...but I think The Incredible Hulk (2008) is definitely better. I still find Edward Norton to be best Hulk/Bruce Banner we have had so far (yes, that means better than Mark Ruffalo).
Ang Lee's Hulk did a really job of explaining the story of Bruce's troubled traumatic childhood past and the origins of how Bruce Banner became the Incredible Hulk and I think it did an excellent job of delving into the pain and psyche of Bruce Banner and the Hulk and explaining why Bruce is so angry and stressed all the time and showing us why Bruce's anger and stress always winds up making him turn into a big angry green monster. Ang Lee's Hulk did a really good job of showing us split personality between Bruce Banner and the Hulk and why it so bad for Bruce to become the Hulk and it did a really good job in showing why Bruce doesn't like what he has become. And I think overall, Ang Lee gave us an otherwise decent live-action portrayal of the classic Incredible Hulk comics and character. But other than that, the film still leaves so much to be desired and the film was way too slow-paced, serious and moody for it's own good. And the film had an incredibly weak villian in Bruce's father and there was NO villain throughout most of the film because Bruce Banner AND the Hulk WAS the villain throughout the film. He was BOTH the Hero/Villian. And I don't even get me started on that ridiculous final act where the Bruce's father turns into a giant cloud by absorbing all of Bruce's energy and than dies.
The Incredible Hulk (2008) was the superior film all around period and anyone who saw both of the Hulk films when they came out in theaters will agree. The Incredible Hulk (2008) was the film everyone wanted in 2003, but didn't get unfortunately.
