I remember watching the old Bixby/Ferigno show as a kid. Then, as now, it's Banner who's interesting not the hulk. no way can any CGI creature compete successfully with Mr. Norton's acting. It wasn't awful, but it was no Iron Man either. I loved watching the Norton sections and Roth/hurt were okay, though there characters were too stock to be really interesting. Liv Tyler's character was undeveloped and unconvincing. The real problem though was the long boring Hulk sequences, which didn't really engage me. I would sit around waiting for the Norton segments to start up again. The real problem is that the central metaphor is played out. Norton does a great job playing the central conflict, but ultimately, the Hulk himself is a dull super, and I don't see a fix for that in a solo hulk movie.
