The Ang Lee's Hulk movie is better on the second viewing than the first. As an old time Marvelmaniac, I appreciated that Nick Nolte was the Absorbing Man, though I did not think the whole Daddy issue was relevant to the Hulk's origin. It was a good beginning, and Sam Elliott as Thunderbolt Ross was perfect. William Hurt doesn't do badly in the new movie, though. I had forgotten that he can act. Edward Norton has Bruce Banner down because in the comics he is a wimp. "Puny Banner!"
