Ok, so today I’m gonna be comparing the two Hulk movies that have recently come out, the first one with Eric Bana, and the newest one with Edward Norton.
So I hardly know anyone besides my dad who likes the first one better, but I myself am not sure which one I like better, so I’m gonna compare a few different aspects of them.
First off, lets compare the look of the Hulk…
Winner: Old Hulk- The new one just doesn’t look like the ones from the comic books, too many veins sticking out.
Next, the lead actor…
Winner: Tie- While Eric Bana is better fit for the part, Edward Norton is easily the better actor, making this impossible to choose.
Next, the leading lady…
Winner: Old Hulk- Jennifer Connely is a better actress and looks better for the part than Liv Tyler.
The villain
Winner: New Hulk- Banner’s dad has a cool power, but just doesn’t have as interesting of a character as Eric Roth’s Abomination.
Pacing
Winner: New Hulk- We didn’t have to wait as long to see the Hulk in action in this one, and it just flowed much better.
Originality
Winner: Old Hulk- The new one is just page for page basic filmmaking for a superhero, the old one though had the comic book style editing that I thought was a cool way of doing it.
End Fight
Winner: New Hulk- The old one had about a 2 minute fight that hardly qualifies as an action sequence, while this new one included two giant monsters going at it for about 10 minutes.
So I think this wraps it up, according to the score, Old Hulk has 3 and the New Hulk has 3, dangit. I think it just depends on the day for me deciding which one I like more, I want to hear your thoughts, which do you like better?
I haven’t seen the old one, but I really enjoyed the new Hulk. It was a close second to Iron Man for my favorite movie last summer.
