As interesting as it was to have Ang Lee try his hand at the Hulk, his art house approach to get into the deeper recesses of the Hulks psyche was far from what comic book heads everywhere were looking for when "Big Green" finally made it to the screen. They wanted one simple thing, to see "Hulk smash!" While it may never win Academy Awards for dialogue, comic book movies are about one thing first and foremost: having fun. The first was borderline depressing. This Hulk comes out swinging from the gate and never loses sight of the story that drove the tv series. Dr.Banner's search to control the beast within. This was fun from the get go, had great action, and was respectful to every comic book head in the audience by giving noted shout outs to the people that made the 70's series legendary. All in all, this was a much better go around for the Mean Green Machine.
