... but you are part of a minority, the Hulk show never gets anywhere near the top 30 in any of the great tv shows lists, it never was much a ratings winner back in the day.
That's the thing, I haven't seen a single episode.congrats, you have good taste
Why are you harping so much about Ang Lee's feelings? It's a business as well and if they can put out a different and better product than so be it. I'm pretty sure at some point in your life you are competitive and talk smack to whom ever you are up against, so relax dude. It's not that he insulted anyone, they want to make a better movie period. I am one of the biggest Hulk fans and remember the TV series and loved it, but think it's campy now and see all the flaws it had. Compared to the movie, it is cheesy as far as f/x. When the first movie was scheduled to be made, it was on then off then on again. When they finally put it on film and I watched it, it was both fulfilling AND disappointing. I hope this next movie, whether sequel, reboot or whatever smokes the **** outta the last one. Then we ALL benefit.I still think it's mean and in poor taste.
It would be a huge mistake to go the FF2 route (alot of humor, alittle too much for my taste.) The Hulk is a genuine action/thriller type of movie. Kinda like the guy on the run who is in love and is confronted by his enemies while trying to find a cure. When the action is onscreen, we want to be blown away not humored.
Those defending Ang's honor are forgetting something pretty significant. Only five years after Ang's Hulk, Marvel is making a complete Hulk reboot with a different director/cast/etc. Everyone did not think Hulk sucked. However, the overwhelming majority of those that saw Hulk thought it did, or was at the very least, a massive disappointment. From that point of view I don't think they're insulting what came before so much as they are acknowledging previous mistakes and how they're addressing them. If they praised Ang & Hulk and didn't speak on it's shortcomings they wouldn't be able to give us a better movie in TIH.It's not so much about Ang Lee's feelings(as rude as that was), but the presumption that everyone thought his movie sucked. It is that he insulted someone, and there is no need for smack talk and competitiveness. I definitely want a better movie, but come on, show a little class.
Have you ever heard of everyone's entitled to there own opinion along with advertising and promotion? If he went the "yes, Ang Lee's movie was awesome" then nobody would give this second movie a chance cause lets be honest, it was a good/bad movie. I have been a fan of the hulk probably b4 you were born and must say I like the movie because they did one and dont get me wrong , there are elements I LOVED but, the rest of the movie was weak and OVERDONE! Everyone didn't think the movie sucked, only the vast majority. It took forever to see the Hulk in the movie, FOREVER! and that alone ruined the film.It's not so much about Ang Lee's feelings(as rude as that was), but the presumption that everyone thought his movie sucked.

Maybe it has something to do with Kevin Feige, Marvel Studios President of Production, saying "...in looking to sort of reboot and start the franchise fresh and new, we wanted to start with a clean slate." Yes it's not going to re-tell Hulk's origin but still doesn't sound very sequel-y to me.
^^^I agree with you verily.
It's funny. I remember a local anchor making a comment before the movie came out about how he was surprised he was Hulk was larger and making enormous leaps.
Dude you answered your own question or statement. It is NOT sequel but DIFFERENT retelling sans the origin. I personally dont want a sequel to Ugh Lee's version anyway. And the reference to Bond was a bad example. None are REALLY sequels. More like a series w/o tie ins to one another other than casting.
...that your wrong bout the sequel banter.
