Which one would you say had a better design and better CGI?

I'd give both to the 2008 Hulk. I felt that the CGI looked much better and less cartoony and he looked more like Hulk should...ripped and powerful.
 
Fo sho. He was more ripped and lived up to the name savage.
 
His face was much too human like. The Hulk is a monster, not a pretty boy.
 
Ang Lee's Hulk had the better body, The Incredible Hulk had the better face.
 
Ang Lee's Hulk had the better body, The Incredible Hulk had the better face.
I think I have to agree with this combo.
 
Ang Lee's Hulk looked like a powerlifter and didn't have much definition. Plus, as cool as him growing was, he was the wrong size as well. The 2008 Hulk had the perfect body for the Hulk, the perfect face, and was the correct size.
 
The '08 Hulk was as Hulk should be!
 
03 Hulk had the better CGI for its time IMO, but 08 Hulk had the better design.
 
After watching the movie in bluray I can say that I much prefer the '08 design, both body and face. I also found the cgi much more impressive than it was when watching it at the cinema, even though I was impressed first time round. The only flaw I can find in '08 was the eyes, the shade of green and brightness of them totally took away the realism for me. I know the idea was them to appear asif they were glowing but it just didn't come across like that, they looked more like someone had just coloured in the eyes with a green pen. While my mind is pretty much made up on preferring '08 I will be getting 'Hulk' on bluray next month and will keep my mind open.
 
03 Hulk had better CGI for the time and fitted with the world around it more, but as an overall design i prefer the 08 Hulk
 
Its not even close to being a competition.

2008 version is ABSOLUTELY better looking then '03.

I know its CGI through and through, but when i look at both, just something about 2003 looks so fake, which is not saying much, but just doesn't look good during day or night time.

Plus the face it has a rubbery look too.
 
Award for CG... goes to... Hulk 08
Award for body... goes to... Hulk 08
Award for face... goes to... Hulk 08
Award for attitude... goes to... Hulk 08
Award for stupidity... goes to... Hulk 03

:bh:
 
08 is better, but both didnt do much for me. this movie to me was carried by norton and not the cgi

Agreed. The CGI was alot better in Ang's IMO, but the design for '08 was pretty much what most people wanted. I still prefer the bulky, neanderthal look as opposed to the super ripped bodybuilder, but once again, I think it all depends on what Hulk you grew up reading.

I also think both Hulks looked very human in the face, I think '08 even more than '03. The difference was that '08 had alot more rage in his facial expressions for 99% of the film. He was alot more pissed off than the '03 version, but if you look at the scenes where he's with Betty, the new Hulk's face looks a whole lot more human than Ang's ever did.

Personally, and I've already had these arguments so I'm not trying to spark another one up, but to me, the Hulk should resemble Banner slightly. Some artists used to do that to great results, like Buscema, who's my all time favorite. It's not like his Hulk was pretty, his Hulk was a gorilla, but you could still see bits of Banner, as it should be, It's not like they have separate skulls. I think the concept art they showed at Comic Con was perfect, why they scaled that look back in the finished product, I don't know.

I have got to agree with this, on the DVD I have noticed that the face of '08 Hulk looks just as if not more human than the Ang one did, so people's complaint's of Ang's looking too human are unfounded IMO.

I still find the CGI in 03 better for its time, and I still think the design for '08 Hulk was better, but after watching both movies back-to-back, my personal grades are getting closer when it comes to design.
 
08's Hulk looked better, but the 03's Hulk acted better. So ILM for The Avengers.
 
08 hulk looked better, and i thought the story was better too.
