Bah. From what little I know about the Hulk, I've never understood how you could possibly make an interesting story with the character. The first fifteen or twenty minutes of this movie hint at some possibilities, but they're quickly abandoned for the typical over-produced, CG-happy "action" I've come to expect from Marvel movies. I haven't seen the earlier Ang Lee movie, and if it's actually worse than this one, I guess that makes me very lucky.
