Very good comic book movie. Like I said, I liked the last one, and this one was just as good. Not better, not worse. They were flawed in different areas, and if I think they got a director and writer on board that would take a little from column A and a little from column B, a really great Hulk movie would be born.
The CGI is CGI. I'm close to giving up hope that it will come much further anytime soon. Say what you will about Lee's Moutain Dew-green Hulk, but he was just as credible as the one that is on display here. The pacing was great, but the editing seemed choppy. I'm no filmmaker, but it just didn't seem to flow as well as better action movies. It lacked a lot of character depth and pathos, but not as much as some reviews would lead you to believe. Ed Norton's acting chops weren't on full display, but given what he had to work with, he certainly made the grade. Bill Bixby is still the definitive Dr. Banner. Jennifer Connelly and Sam Eliot were better as Betty and General Ross, respectively, than Liv Tyler and William Hurt. However, both fit and played the roles well and hopefully they'll be given more breathing room in a sequel. The homages to the TV show were fun for me, as were the winks to The Leader, SHIELD, and The Avengers.
