Movies Hulk (2003) vs The Incredible Hulk (2008)

Neither made a terribly big impression on me. The bizarre scene transitions in the 2003 movie are probably the most memorable thing about either.

I don't remember much of anything about the Edward Norton movie other than Rickson Gracie.

Neither was great at all. TIH was likely better just due to Norton . The first Hulk with Eric Bana was awful

Both are better than the majority of marvel movies that come out now. Nothing special but at least felt like there was some effort put into both instead of just shitting out colorful cash grabs.

I like Eric Bana better as hawk instead of Ed Norton (although Ed Norton i like better overall), but both movies weren't anythey to write home about! I did like when hawk kicked the shit out of that one guy in the ed norton version, and the guy went flyey into a tree!

Hulk 2008 was a pretty blah superhero movie. 2003... It also wasn't the best, but it definitely had a sense of style that makes it stick out. I'd give it to 2003.

I also concur - both are probably better movies than a bulk of the current Marvel crop.

Norton hulk is slightly better because of the design of hulk and some more memorable action scenes. Roth as abomination is also a plus.

2003 hulk is okay from what I remember but pretty forgettable.

Hulk had its moments, the fights with the military, especially the Tanks was pretty cool. Also the comic page transitions were cool, at first at least. That’s about it. The rest was awful, the cartoonish CGI, the mutant poodle fight, the Dad villain. Just awful.

The Incredible Hulk was better, but not much. I felt 2003 Hulk had a better cast, “MCU should’ve kept Sam Elliot”. But The Incredible Hulk had a better overall tone and much better action.

2003 Hulk looks like Shrek. But the movie is quite good. Eric Bana, Connelly both great. Had some nice design choices that made it feel like a comic book and a nice fight in the desert against the tanks.

2008 had a better looking Hulk and a better foe.
Overall 2003 is better but both are good and superior to the newer Marvel movies.

They both sucked so bad I never bothered to buy on disc, but the one where Ang Lee talked about wanting to make viewers emotionally invested sucked worse with the crap Abomination or whatever Nick Nolte was.

This single scene by itself is why the excessively maligned 2003 Hulk shits all over that 2008 monstrosity.


Bana is still the best Hulk to play the role, but Hulk is definitely one of the remaining major comic superheroes for whom they still haven't found the defning actor to own its essence.

I thought Edward Norton was a shitty Bruce banner, and Sam Elliott was a great Ross.

That being said, Hulk was way better in 2008. The 2003 movie i watched 3 times and just don't like. 2008 I enjoyed more
