Which Hulk looks better? Which movie do you like more overall?

As a whole, I preferred Incredible Hulk to Hulk. 
 
But Sam Elliot was much better than William Hurt.

incredible hulk. better villain. more smashing.  not much uneeded talking 

Eric Bana vs Ed Norton I think Ed is the best actor ever to be in a Marvel movie
Jennifer Conelly vs Liv Tyler, Much hotter and better actress
Sam Elliot vs William Hurt, Both did an excellent job
Nick Nolte vs Tim Roth I like Nolte's speech before the final battle, but Mr. Orange is one of my favourite actors of all time.
 
I think the 2003 Hulk looked a little bit better
I'm not sure which movie I preferred. The Hulk movie was unique and deep for a comicbook movie, but it lacked "HULK SMASH!!" unlike Incredible Hulk

The first movie was decent all around - even had some cool standout parts like The Hulk bashing those tanks to bits in the desert. But overall I liked the second movie alot better. I thought Norton made the best Banner we've seen so far. It was, in my opinion, just as good of a flick as Iron Man in it's own way.  I know there's talk of The Hulk being in the Avengers movie, but I wish they could continue his story and do another movie with Norton as well.

Edward Norton was and is an Incredible Hulk

Ok, lets start by saying that I had been keen to see a follow up on Ang’s Hulk, but when I first heard that the Incredible Hulk ‘replaces’ the first Hulk, I thought why?   Sure, it wasn’t fast paced action from the start, but character creation was required, just like in the first Spiderman, or Ironman.

All in all, I loved Eric Bana as Bruce.   He was convincing as a mentally anguished scientist.   Norton’s portrayal was weak, flimsy.   Shame really as I think Ed is the better actor, but comparing the two in this role, I have to side with EB.

In support, again Hulk wins with Jennifer Conelly.   Loved her in Dark City, and she outshined Liv in every way.   Lets face it, Liv is only in the biz because of her mega star dad.   She only does Liv, not really acting.

Again (wow, I’m really biased ain’t I), the Hulk wins with Sam Elliot as Thunderbolt Ross.   The old meanie from Roadhouse convinces me that he takes no prisoners.   I like Hurt, but hey, there just was no comparison.   Hurt’s too nice.

And now for the enemy.   I love both Nick Nolte and Tim Roth big time, but (and you get no points for guessing), Nolte was huge.   Although both were believable, Nolte would have smashed the Abomination in to the ice age (as would have the Hulk against his ‘incredible’ carbon copy).   Besides, this movie, Abomination was nothing like the original.   He had the background of General Wade Eiling and the look of Doomsday, straight out of DC comics.

And as a final point, I liked the way Hulk looked in Ang’s version too.   It’s impossible to get a 20ft green dude looking right in any event, but Ang’s (for me) looked much better.

Wow, I’m soooo glad to get that off my chest. 

Nolte and Bana brought us such "great" scenes like this.  What "great" acting. Look at those actors act.

"
Maybe i judge too harshly.  The Hulk, incredible or not,  has come a long way indeed.

Eric Bana vs Ed Norton- Better actor, and more versatile
Jennifer Conelly vs Liv Tyler- even though Jennifer is a better actor, Liv played the role of the CHARACTER better IMO 
Sam Elliot vs William Hurt- Sam was more of a villian
Nick Nolte vs Tim Roth- Tim is a better actor and a better vilian 
Hulk Suit- The Incredible Hulk was better, Hulk (2003) was too fake looking 
  
Overall Better Movie- The Incredible Hulk by far, Hulk (2003) was very boring, The Incredible Hulk was more entertaining and just better
   

Besides the strange "fakeness" of the Hulk in Hulk, I think it had closer proportions to the comic version. Also, I really loved the ending of Hulk when he screams, "TAKE IT ALL!" Other than that, Incredible Hulk was a much better film. 
 
P.S. Jennifer Conelly is a much better actress than Liv Tyler... and soooooo much better looking :P

the incredible hulk better film nuff said.

Norton made a perfect Banner - he brought the intellect and the lone wanderer characteristics I enjoyed from Bixby in the TV series. I can't see Ruffalo playing it better come Avengers time and I never got the genius scientist vibe from Bana in the first.

 The Bana Hulk was okay for the time, but at times it seemed Banner was angrier than Hulk. The five-year-old personification irked me, especially since it was a greater threat to the army than David Banner. Ross and his hatred puzzled me, because his motive was more in tuned to destroying the memory of David as opposed to stopping an unstable element. Hulk was also too damned tall.
The Incredible Hulk just seemed more like the comics, although I didn't really like the introduction of the chair Bill Bixby sat in to acquire his abilities. Using the super soldier plot seemed too much like the Ultimate version, which I never really cared for to begin with. Still, seeing Hulk appear only ten or twelve feet tall was nice. It reminds me of the older comics. I think I preferred Jennifer Connely playing a more understanding Betty, whereas Liv Tyler was just filling. At least the Ross in this version had a true motive.
Maybe Mark Ruffalo will pull off a better Banner than the other two. He seems to want to break away from the other guy romantic roles, which says a lot about him as an actor. I can only hope it doesn't spawn useless sayings like "Hulk have feelings!"

Bump.

IMO Avengers Hulk beats them both in every way. Mark was better as Banner than Eric and Edward were.

But on topic, I kinda thought 2003 Hulk was interesting, how big he was, how fast he ran and how far he jumped. But I just gotta say Incredible Hulk was better.

Eric Bana vs Ed Norton

Jennifer Connelly vs Liv Tyler

Sam Elliot vs William Hurt- I liked both

Nick Nolte vs Tim Roth- I liked Abomination more then that Absorbing Man thing

Which Hulk looks better? - Incredible Hulk was better

Which movie do you like more overall?- Incredible Hulk

all this aside, I prefer Mark Ruffalo's Banner and Hulk to both of these.

Incredible hulk takes it but there are moments of ang lees hulk that I really liked a lot,,but I'm biased for anything hulk

to tell you the Truth, Avengers hulk is the best, He Talks! way more than the others! I'm hoping this is the future of the hulk!

It's great to see that I'm not alone in finding Ang Lee's "Hulk" vastly superior to "The Incredible Hulk", but it seems I am definitely in the minority...

Eric Bana vs Ed Norton > I like Ed Norton, but his Banner was unconvincing. I've never seen Eric Bana in anything but "Hulk", but found him to be much more sympathetic and believable as Bruce.

Jennifer Conelly vs Liv Tyler > No contest here...Liv Tyler CANNOT act and she did not look right for the part at all. Jennifer Connelly is a much better performer (plus extra points for being gorgeous!).

Sam Elliot vs William Hurt > This is the easiest one of all. William Hurt is a serviceable actor but Sam Elliot has the fire that really sells the General. Sam Elliot is General Ross as far as I am concerned.

Nick Nolte vs Tim Roth > The most difficult comparison. Tim Roth is one of my favorite actors and I don't think I've ever disliked him in a role. He was great as Blonsky. That said, while I don't have any particular affection for Nick Nolte, he was amazing as Banner's father. I hung on his every word (and not just because he slurred and grumbled through most of his dialogue) and loved his scenery chewing.

Which Hulk looks better?

I would say that "The Incredible Hulk" looked better as a result of superior technology, but such things matter little to me...I was happy with Lou Ferrigno's Hulk!

Which movie do you like more overall?

I think it is obvious that I liked "Hulk" better than "The Incredible Hulk", gamma-irradiated poodles and all. The drama was more compelling, the performances were far far better and it didn't rely so much on action to tell the story.

EDIT: I would agree that Mark Ruffalo's Banner from the Avengers movie was the best of the three.

Eric Bana vs Ed Norton

Jennifer Conelly vs Liv Tyler

Sam Elliot vs William Hurt

Nick Nolte vs Tim Roth

Ang Lee Hulk or Incredible Hulk?

Which movie do you like more overall? Incredible Hulk

Hulk everytime..Ang Lee's art house didn't pull in the crowds, but super hero films were still a novelty in 2003 and I reckon it was the better film. So for me, each of the Ang Lee characters, except I found Nick Nolte's character a bit annoying and quite liked Tim Roth!

I think Eric Bana was the weakest of the 3 actors to portray the Hulk, but that final fight scene was easily my favorite between the two movies. "TAKE IT ALL!!"

Eric Bana was the best.

Ok I made a profile just for my thaughts on this too be seen iv waited 10 years! lol ok first of all Eric bana played the best "Bruce Banner" in my opinion he had that nerdy thing goin pretty good and not too weak, Ang Lee's Hulk hands down was the best extremely more interesting he showed all his powers more in detail, the running the jumping the dog fight, releasing of his gamma rays too his father absorbing him the whole TAKE IT ALL!!! Scene Was just freaking epic! and the CGI was more than on point with interpreting the facial expressions in the transformation proccess from normal too Hulked out, the facial expressions of Ang Lee's hulk were much more in tuned with the way Eric banna would make a face with same feeling and emotion, ang lee's Hulk told a good story. And the way the scenes transitioned from scene too scene was so comic book like! Isn't that what a real comic creator or fan boy would expect it too be!? And as for the other actors I liked them all way more than the "incredible hulk" characters but "Liv Tyler" really!! She just looks good and only is in movies cause of her super rock star status daddy ,stay in the pictures girly and out of Hollywood PLEASE! I don't have enough time in the day too get into more detail about the others, anyways later and like Hulk says later PUNEY HUMAN!!

@louie03h:

Yeah I agree with much of this. I still love the first Hulk movie. The second one disappointed me on so many levels, although I did enjoy the "thunder-claps".

@grimstone: I like the movie because you can feel bruce banned anger in this movie and how the feeling between father and son. The music is pretty good and it give the emotions of anger in the movie and it also fits very well in one scene where hulk says take it all.

Eric Bana vs Ed Norton

Jennifer Conelly vs Liv Tyler

Which Hulk looks better? Don't know but Avengers Hulk is better than both

Which movie do you like more overall? Hulk

I love how "HULK" portrayed more to hulks actual ability and power more than "Incredible Hulk" did. Bigger and stronger the madder he gets.

I like Mark Ruffalo as Hulk, he does a great job as Dr.Banner! Now Hulk is one of my favourite Avenger and I'm super excited to see the movie! I even found a video on youtube that shows you how to do a Hulk pillowcase, and I'm totally making my own one LOL I'm awful at crafting but anyway :D

These is the video (for if you want to make it too) :D : https://youtu.be/lGM3vgZoK6M

LoL I Love HULK!

Which Hulk looks better? Which movie do you like more overall?

Hulk 2008 looks better and I enjoyed the film more.

Still prefer Hulk 2003, a great film.

The current MCU is its own animal, and I respect the changes that Kevin Feige has implemented to make his universe work. Captain America: Civil war was a tall order, considering the numerous characters involved. Unfortunately, the complexities of these storylines have sidelined Dr. Banner in recent Marvel history, and others have argued that Hulk is a better "supporting character"; I couldn't disagree more.

Ed Norton is a phenomenal actor, and I can count numerous movies I have enjoyed him in. However, his wry attitude and outlook is a lot more Hank Pym than Banner, and so for this I will have to say I think Eric Bana's Banner is more accurate. In recent years Bana has become a great actor. I've seen him do snide comedy and vulnerable souls. In terms of the CGI portrayal: Ang Lee did a better job of paying homage to Hulk's increasing growth w/ anger and boundless jumps. The CGI wasn't as good as the 2008 film, but then again, it’s likely the Avengers captured that aspect better than either. Overall, the pacing of the 2008 film was miles better, so for many this is their preferred film. However, I strongly believe the storyline was much richer in 2003. I wish we could have had a better combination of both.

Extended Dr. Ross Section:

Jennifer Connelly is a striking woman, but more importantly, she has an edge that is needed for Dr. Betty Ross. The Hulk (2003) is an origin story, so we don’t get to see the fatigue and exasperation that eventually changes Betty into the true force she becomes in the latter comic storylines. Specifically, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has regularly cherry-picked aspects of the Ultimates comic for its Avengers series, but ignored Dr. Betty Ross. Comparatively, Liv Tyler is a sweet woman, and I think I can leave that there.

I fault Feige for not providing a “Dr. Ross” for the MCU, but he would have needed to get her portrayal correct. In the books, Dr. Ross has a “sick of their crap” attitude she assigns to both Dr. Banner and Dr. Pym. Of course, in the comic storylines we are treated to dynamics that are absent in the MCU films: Hank Pym is a modern character – not a supporting role – and a wife beater of Janet Van Dyne-Pym; Banner is caught up in a perpetual cycle of melancholy and hopelessness. Betty Ross is ultimately more attracted to Hulk over Banner, as Banner has almost uniformly lost his zeal for life. Ruffalo does a great job of introducing us to this attitude at the beginning of The Avengers, but by the end, and through his successive appearances, Ruffalo has a chip on his shoulder. This probably works better in the films, for inter-character dialogue, however.

Given Paul Bettany’s Vison character commitment, Marvel/Disney should investigate the possibility of returning Connelly’s Dr. Ross to the MCU universe. In most ways Conelly’s Ross would be an alternate reality version from the 2003 film, but it would afford great conflict possibilities between Natasha Ramanoff and the partial love interest storyline they’ve seeded. Ruffalo would pair finely based on their similar ages. Further, it’s a beautiful thing to reintroduce a similarly paired, now-older character, as she could bring a level of firey disdain for the 15-year-younger usurping Romanoff, in addition having a strong female in a high administrative position at SHIELD. While the comic books used Glenn Talbot as a love triangle conflict, Ang Less chose to terminate Josh Lucas' Talbot in 2003 (although he has been resurrected in Marvel's Agents of SHIELD).

Any resurrection of SHIELD in the films will need a level of authority and swagger that has now been lost (sorry Clark Gregg, you’re awesome, but you’re not enough). While I do not know Connelly’s sensibilities regarding commitments to long-running commercial projects (I sense she values her privacy), I cannot think of a better actor to dominate administrative direction over the men (Tony Stark, Rogers, Thor).

General Thunderbolt Ross:

I have met Sam Elliot, and he is a phenomenal actor. However, for the nature of the overall universe, I choose to appreciate a general mellowing of Thunderbolt Ross as portrayed by William Hurt (The Incredible Hulk; Captain America: Civil War), as would have been needed to ultimately assume a Senatorial role. Each of the actors plays an important role at a different point in a character's life arch. I will call their portrayals a tie; I like them both for different reasons. I chose to believe that General Ross is no-less impassioned of his beliefs, but that he has chosen to be more discerning about how to accomplish his ends.

Villains:

I absolutely believe it is a false choice when choosing between the villains portrayed by Nick Nolte and Tim Roth. Both did an admirable job and were playing roles in accordance with their scripts. I agree with what others have said: Abomination is borrowed from DC’s Doomsday. Now that we have a cinematic portrayal of Doomsday, I think it is fair to say that Abomination is a little less fearsome than he once was. For me, both films are appreciably good, but the Hulk comes out ahead by a few hairs, and the casting clearly was better in honoring the characters. Universal has paid homage to their own films in coordinating steelbooks. I don't own any other steelbooks, but I was glad to pick up these; they both come with Ultraviolet digital copies.

Really, I should start a petition for Connelly. Honestly, I should probably camp in Tribeca and try to convince Bettany to conscript his wife. From what I heard her state in interviews, he really likes good cheese, as do I. Clearly Connelly picked a winner.

This.
