Hulk Smash!

Just saw The Incredible Hulk, which was mildly enjoyable. It was no Iron Man, but was thankfully above the depths of Spider-Man 3. It felt more like the Hulk TV series (even including the Lonely Man theme) but was also part of the Marvel Universe most recently established by Iron Man. The performances were generally good, especially Tim Roth, and it had better action than Ang Lee's film. It didn't take itself too seriously, and I was amused by Bruce Banner's dilemma of not even being able to have sex without fear of hulking out.
I did prefer the comic book style visuals in the 2003 version, though, and I also thought the Hulk was better animated in that film (the hulk in this one was too veiny and not green enough). This new version got the job done, but aside from Hulk saying his catchphrase and the Tony Stark cameo at the end there was nothing that really wowed me. The Avengers movies is looking better and better, though.
In sadder news, I still can't believe Stan Winston has died. The world of imaginary cinema is an emptier place without his fantastic creatures.
