Hulk re-do

Jennifer Connelly was awesome in Ang Lee's Hulk. She didn't really do much but react to the whole situation, but she does it in such a beatiful way that it works. Lee's Hulk wasn't half as bad as people made it out to be. He just took his time with a dramatic element instead of 2 hours of "HULK SMASH!" However, I didn't care for Nolte's performace, or his character. Absorbing man is NOT the Hulk's dad... and besides, he's primarily one of Thor's enemies.

I watched Lee's Hulk a few weeks ago with his audio commentary... and maybe it's just that Lee is a quirky guy, but it seemed like he was a little off base the way he described everything. It seemed like he was trying to make an art film out of the project. I think he was an odd choice for the role of director for the movie. The only thing I'd seen by him before Hulk was The Ice Storm.

Instead of a new Hulk flick, I'd really rather see them make a film out of the first arc of Mark Millar's Ultimates. They made that cartoon which was pretty cheesey. I'd like to see them take it seriously and go big budget.

If they're going to start over from scratch, I'd like to see Banner played by somebody a bit more frail and geeky looking than Bana. Bana played Hector in Troy! Not exactly your nerdy scientist type. I'd also like to see them throw in Abomination, or maybe Doc Samson.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
