The new one that is heh.... watched it at weekend and IMO its better than the one with Eric Banner (Chopper ftw) in. It seems to follow the 70s TV series rather than the comic and I think it makes for a better movie.
Im gonna try really hard not to give away any spoilers cos Im a nightmare for it... basically the story goes...
Bruce Banner was working alongside General Ross and his daughter Elizabeth Ross experimenting with Gamma radiation... after a freak accident he mutates into a huge green hulk and destroys the lab injuring "Betty" in the process. Banner then goes on the run.... Cue start of movie.
Special effects are awesome and theres more than the odd nod to the TV show. Lou Feringo has a cameo and is still huge (hes the guy who played the Hulk in the TV show for those who didnt know). Stan Lee also makes a very small appearance and you get to hear the immortal lines "Hulk Smash"
Theres also what I think is a reference to another super hero movie thats out now too.... at least I think it is... watch the movie and you will probably understand what I meant there.
Gotta say this one is getting a pretty high ranking in the super hero movie stakes from me. A must watch if you liked the TV show. I was gonna say I didnt see Bill Bixby in the movie but I just checked IMDB and he died of prostate cancer in 1993 (RIP Bill).
