Incredible Hulk vs. Hulk
Monday, March 17th, 2008Nobody liked Ang Lee’s 2003 Hulk starring Eric Bana as the big green jimmy dean eatin machine. I was not one of them. I thoroughly enjoyed the film and all this talk of a new Hulk has me itching to bring out the old DVD. What’s the difference between this year’s Hulk and that of five years ago? Well…this one’s Incredible, and was written by Edward Norton who also happens to star (Eric Bana wasn’t too keen on reprising the role). One reason people didn’t like Hulk (2003) was for the visual effects (which I credited as being some of the best out there courtesy of Industrial Light & Magic, the same all-stars who brought you Jurassic Park, Star Wars, and Transformers).
So let’s take a look at two stills. One from The Incredible Hulk (2008) and one from Hulk (2003)

The Incredible Hulk (2008)
While I’m looking forward to the new movie and will most certainly see it in theaters, the original looks better than the new effects courtesy of Rhythm & Hues Studios (Daredevil, some Chronicles of Narnia…). Yea yea, it’s just a screenshot but that’s the best sign of great visual effects. Check out the new Incredible Hulk trailer over at MTV here.
