Doug (vo): Let's continue looking at the Marvel Cinematic Universe with "The Incredible Hulk". Now, it's impossible to talk about this movie without talking about the film version that came before the Hulk.

Doug (vo): Many people regarded it not as one of the worst comic book movies ever made, but one of the biggest comic book mistakes ever made. The movie was directed by (picture of) Ang Lee, who just got done doing "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". This is a very good, talented director, but he was obviously the wrong one for this. The movie was too abstract, too dramatic, too slow-paced, and somehow made the story of a giant green man who smashes things boring.

Doug (vo): So, it was pretty tough to do a reboot several years later with that bad taste still on our mouths. Is it much better than the last one? Well, yeah, but...it's still not that...eh... Okay, let's look at the story.
