The "Days Without Incident" counter is very smart. It does paint out the Hulk as a very relatable issue. As someone whose had an addiction, I did often think back to this film for that reason.
I feel like perfection lies somewhere in the middle. One thing is that the quality of this Hulk’s face varies drastically from scene to scene. In some scenes, he looks more real than the best that modern CGI can produce, and in others, he looks like the model used in the video game based on the film. There’s really inconsistent quality of CGI throughout the whole film. Like when Abomination says “give me a real fight.” That whole scene looks like some OG Beast Wars terrible computer animation. Ruffalo’s Hulk has had a very consistent quality, looks-wise. He’s just so much less “Hulk-ish” than Norton’s Hulk, in terms of personality. If we could combine the strength of Bana Hulk, and Ruffalo Hulk/ the attitude of Bana Hulk with Norton Hulk, and the overall look of Norton Hulk with the consistency and some of the thickness of Ruffalo Hulk, we’d have the perfect Hulk.
@@thechad4485 Norton’s Roar, voice and look for the Hulk are🔥 but yeah he could be thicker and a little less veiny. The dark green color is amazing though, not comic acurate but looks waay better
@@bat1579 I wholeheartedly agree. Having Lou Ferrigno voice Norton’s Hulk was a genius move, and he absolutely killed it! And while I understand what they were going for with the tight veiny look of Hulk, it was not the best choice… or at least was overdone. I also liked that Norton has a black belt in Judo, Karate, and Aikido, and brought that to Hulk’s fighting style, making his Hulk a far more capable fighter. And that primal *ROAR* at the end still gives me chills. I agree on the color as well. The comic accurate green in Thor Ragnarok was not nearly as good looking as the darker green.
@@thechad4485I think yourself and others forget about Ruffalo’s Hulk in the early days of the MCU. I just rewatched The Avengers (2012) and he’s huge and animal-like. There is a ton of tension building toward Banner’s initial transformation and when it eventually happens on the Helicarrier, he’s terrifying. He almost kills Black Widow, Sheild agents, etc. This carry’s on into Age of Ultron, where the Hulk’s set off by Wanda and nearly destroys a whole city. Even when his mind isn’t being altered the Hulk is incredibly strong and powerful, levelling that flying Chitari alien with one punch for example. It’s not until Ragnarok where Hulk becomes less savage and animalistic. I’d argue that he becomes more like Norton’s Hulk in both appearance and personality, as more intelligent, less bulkey and no longer hunched over like an ape. Norton’s Hulk uses weapons and is easily halted by Betty Ross (Ruffalo’s Hulk has these moments as well but they’re more nuanced imo). So I don’t think Norton’s Hulk is more “Hulk-like.”
I remember seeing the trailer in the cinema 2 years before the movie came out. (Banners eye changing in that of the Hulk. That looked so cool. But the look of the Hulk himself was a bit of a disappointment.
I look back fondly on this one because it actually viewed Hulk as he should be, an absolutely terrifying force of nature. We got that slightly in The Avengers when Bruce first transforms. But after that, he has just become a punchline.
Why was I not terrified lol especially when you’re using cars as boxing gloves. Who ever wrote that into the fight scene has the imagination of a 7 year old
The thing I really liked about the very early individual Avengers movies (phase 1 of the MCU in Disney jargon) was that the movies did not feel super interconnected and could be enjoyed completely on their own. The later movies required homework of watching all the other movies, which made it tiring for some viewers to keep up.
The comics followed a similar trajectory. From the 60s until the late 80s, things were connected but not complicated; you could read just the titles you liked without getting lost, because aside from occasional guest appearances, the heroes generally kept out of each other's lanes. This made sense because most readers were kids with limited allowances, who had to pick and choose which series they most wanted to follow. While crossover events did start in the 80s (Secret Wars being a massive success, albeit one contained in its own miniseries), they became more and more common in the 90s, and more and more transparently stunts to get you to buy books you didn't really want. It's kind of fascinating watching the MCU speed-running that whole history.
Great to see you take your time over discussing a film again - reminds me a little of your old deep dives - the one you did on signs is still a great watch!
@@spike5499 Not standalone perhaps but as a major figure, most definitely. Look at how prominent he was in Ragnarok. Why not count the old ones? Just to be "right"?
I've spent so many years trying to get my friends to re-watch this film at every opportunity because I think it's such a cool and fun film, so was very happy to see you revisit this one!
I forgot this movie as soon as I saw it, but one excellent bit stuck with me is when Hulk smacks Tim Roth across the field and you see his body literally "beaten to pulp". You actually see all the gory details of what it means to be hit by Hulk.
Happy to be one of the few people in the world to enjoy this film since it hit theatres. It's genuinely the best Hulk film we'll ever get and sad that the MCU won't give this same level of treatment for the current Hulk.
The credit scene was put before the credits because they knew most wouldn't stay till the end (was not common then), and wanted everyone see what they had planned was a for-certain endeavor happening.
It'd be interesting to see how his opinions changed, but unfortunately he reviewed the latter half of phase one at the beginning of his career, and feature presentation is only for things he hasn't done before. Maybe he'll do iron man 2 though, pretty sure he's never done that one.
How is it a breath of fresh air for you? Genuinely curious, not trying to start a fight. Because all I see in his videos is just "here's the name of the movie followed by the IMDB summary. But first a big thanks to today's sponsor, Factor. Use code STUCKMANN and checkout and yum yum yum. So this movie stars so and so who you know from such and such and is directed by so and so who directed such and such. I had a lot of fun with this one. The cinematography is good, the direction is good, the writing is good and it genuinely made me laugh. Stay tuned for Shelby Oaks. Thanks so much and get Stuckmannized DOO DA DOOO DA DO DEE DA DOO"
I think this one is underrated. I really like it. Another exciting bit for comics fans was when Blonsky was fighting the Hulk following his first injection of Thunderbolt Ross's brand-X supersoldier serum: it was like getting a sneak preview of the kind of moves Captain America might be doing in the not-so-distant future.
Never understood the hate for this film. Is it great? No. Do I like Mark Ruffalo as Banner/Hulk more? Yeah…but overall, it’s a damn solid early-entry MCU film. And it’s definitely better than most of what the MCU has put out the last couple of years.
@@hulkfan97 yeah it was very disappointing to hear him trash on the movie. I guess his more into the cartoonish, goofy Hulk that he became later on 🤷🏽♂️
@@user-jv4hd7gc7bit’s odd to see him pick an old movie and trash it. Considering all of his reviews the last few years aren’t reviews. He picks movies he finds are decent. Because he’s directing his own movie etc etc
Indeed, I love the simplicity of Phase one. A simpler time it was. The hype around the Avengers being built up by those first few films was an amazing time to grow up with.
Chris this is becoming be best stuff on your channel, I love not knowing what’s coming next! I was a kid when I went to the theater to see The Incredible Hulk, it was my first MCU film, and I made it all the way through till the end when he was strapped down and started hulking out- still gross looking. At which point I asked my mom if we could leave 😂. I watched it again when it came out on dvd and made myself stick through the end and honestly I dig this movie. I’m glad you gave it its due !
The first Hulk is clearly a better comic book film. As Chris said in the iron Man review, he has never been a comic book guy. The style that Ang Lee brought to that film was so refreshing and invigorating in the comic book film adaptation scene. The First Hulk felt like a comic book come to life. Sure it has some holes, the cg doesnt hold up, and the plot got a bit cumbersome. But in 2003 other than xmen , superman, and Burton Batman, there was no other great superhero to screen films. There was no reason to drop Eric Bana, nor Ang Lee for a sequel. My mistake, i forgot Rami spiderman, those were oretty great too and i think the first Tobey Maguire film predates Hulk
The thing is they couldn't have possibly continued with Edward Norton. The reason he didn't continue as the character doesn't have anything to do with his performance, he was simply a nightmare to work with on set.
As a worldwide perspective if it would not been for Ang lee's Hulk and incredible Hulk, the world would never been excited for Hulk in the Avengers. These two movies did establish the origins of his character and his world without any other heroes being crossed within the movie.
I have always loved the Hulk character ever since I was a little kid. I was 11 when Ang Lee's Hulk came out and 16 when this film dropped. I genuinely enjoyed both, but I remember leaving the theatre having just finished watching The Incredible Hulk and I recall having sat there with the biggest smile on my face for the whole film! It's always been upsetting to me the way this film has been constantly overlooked and ragged on over the years, despite myself being one of its few ardent supporters. But I'm glad this movie is finally finding its place amongst movie goers. As a lifelong Hulk fan, it is everything I wanted from my Hulk movie: Banner as a fugitive on the run (check), the trauma of dealing with his Hulk personality (check), humour kept to a minimum as this is a character drama (check), amazing Hulk action set pieces like the bottle factory scene (check), wanting a real life and relationship with Betty Ross but always being kept at arms length (check), constantly pursued by General Ross for sinister means (check), and the freaking Abomination finally! (check check!). I love this movie. Edward Norton crushes it as Bruce Banner, and you really get that sense of his struggle with his own inner duality. The late, great William Hurt is fantastic as General Ross, and Tim Roth plays an amazing Blonsky/Abomination. He is a truly threatening villain, without the moustache twirling of many MCU villains nowadays. I honestly feel The Incredible Hulk was released in the wrong era. Had it been released today, during the era of unfocused MCU movies like The Marvels that have no clear grasp on what it wants to do and instead pushes plot threads, sequel-itis, and set ups in a million different directions, I feel audiences would have embraced The Incredible Hulk as a breath of fresh air. It's a solid, focused character film that is actually about the Hulk! Not about setting up movies 7 years from now. I will always defend this film, and it will always remain in my top 5 MCU movies. I have to disagree with you Chris, I do think it's a great movie for the many reasons I've listed above. But thanks for taking the time to review it!
Very intelligent guy Chris is and I have been watching your stuff for years since the " hilariosity " times. Can't wait to see more from you sir and thanks for taking time to do the videos for us!
This is easily your best segment Chris...I always want to see reviews of ANY film regardless of when it was released...too many reviewers just talk non stop about new releases...the freedom to just do a video of any random film is refreshing to us as an audience too
This has always been my favorite film adaptation of the hulk, it introduced me to the character and made me fear him a little. I think because of my age it was that scary nature of the hulk that got me hooked
Hulk 2003 and the Incredible Hulk, I would have them as a double feature definitely. But the look and ferocity of 2008 Hulk, just the glowing green eyes, the darker green color, and the way Hulk uses a car and turns it into 2 weapons.
When this film came out I didn’t realize there’s to an mcu adaptation. I lived without internet in my youth and just rented movies at a local vhs/dvd store. Since then this film has been my absolute favorite of mine. It felt gritty and drama worthy.

Very intelligent guy Chris is and I have been watching your stuff for years since the " hilariosity " times. Can't wait to see more from you sir and thanks for taking time to do the videos for us!
Nortons HULK >>> ruffalos by MILES
By light-years
This is easily your best segment Chris...I always want to see reviews of ANY film regardless of when it was released...too many reviewers just talk non stop about new releases...the freedom to just do a video of any random film is refreshing to us as an audience too
Really enjoy this new series! It's always a nice surprise to see what you'll choose to cover next.
This video looks great, Chris. Great lighting.
It's been a while.
Nice to see you.
This has always been my favorite film adaptation of the hulk, it introduced me to the character and made me fear him a little. I think because of my age it was that scary nature of the hulk that got me hooked
Chris, man i can’t believe you dumped on this movie. Best hulk movie/appearance of hulk ever. Best looking hulk ever. Wish they would bring him back
I really dig this new segment, Chris.
Like a lot.
I can’t wait to see more.
Was having a bad day at work and gotta say this put me in such a good mood when I saw this in my notifications
What a pleasant surprise, Chris. I’ve always really enjoyed this movie.
Hulk 2003 and the Incredible Hulk, I would have them as a double feature definitely. But the look and ferocity of 2008 Hulk, just the glowing green eyes, the darker green color, and the way Hulk uses a car and turns it into 2 weapons.
We went from The Introspective Hulk (2003) to The Adequate Hulk (2008)
I truly enjoy these reviews. Keep them coming.😅
Glad I got Stuckmanized on this one. Keep these up, they're great.
When is the Shelby Oaks Austin screening and where how do I get tickets?
Love this segment. Keep it coming
Legend mate keep these features up thanks.
Hulk 2003 is one of the best comic book movies ever, prove me wrong. The Incredible Hulk 2008 is top 5 MCU too
Really enjoying the reviews of older movies, keep it up! :)
This series is a HUGE W Chris thanks bro
This was the best version of Hulk.
Growing up as a kid, this movie was one of my favorite superhero movies to watch. I would always rewatch the fight scene with Hulk and abomination.
I'm loving these reviews, Chris
I love this film because of how it treated Hulk like a legitimate, scary monster to be feared.
looking forward to these feature presentation videos every week!
Love this segment. Keep it up.
When this film came out I didn’t realize there’s to an mcu adaptation. I lived without internet in my youth and just rented movies at a local vhs/dvd store. Since then this film has been my absolute favorite of mine. It felt gritty and drama worthy.
