It's a shame the story was so small. A larger scope would have been interesting. But Iron Man suffered from the same thing.

I thought the commercial was funny. "It's as good as Iron Man!" Really? Don't have anything to say about its own merits? You can only try to push sales by name-dropping the #1 seller from a couple weeks ago?
I haven't seen the new Hulk, though I'm looking forward to do so.

I'm one of the few who has a bit of fondness for the first one. I'm not saying it is a "good" movie, but more of a flawed nice try. One of its two main problems could be fixed by simply cutting about 20 minutes or so. The other would be to film a completely new climactic battle (with his father), since the one in the film definitely stunk badly.
