    Default Mark Ruffalo vs. Edward Norton vs. Eric Bana. Who you got?

    The only other hero that has had as many actors play him was James Bond. These are the latest and greatest when it comes to Hulk and also Lou. Personally I felt Ruffalo captured the insecurity of Banner a lot better than either. This is a frail man that will strike at any moment due to issue with confidence and control.

    I'm really excited to see what Ruffalo can do. I was a huge fan of his before this film, and I know he has incredible ability. Norton is great too, but Ruffalo has a stronger ability at showing frailty. At least in my opinion.

    Ruffalo for sure.

    Funny thing is, I was not expecting much. I had thought Norton had nailed it but then Ruffalo blew him out of the water.

    Also, this. I hope the talk of him getting a 2015 movie happens.

    i have to admit. i had absolutely no faith in Ruffalo going-in. but he more than won me over. i think he and the Hulk stole the movie. i'd gladly watch another solo movie. way to go Ruffalo!


    p.s. i still think that movie-Banner really has little in common with the guy in the comic books.

    I go with Ruffalo because he had that sexy hairy chest, so yes please.

    Ruffalo and Connelly. That would be my choice.

    Bill Bixby by far. Even though his Banner was a considerable departure from the source material, it says something when 2 of the 3 actors to play Banner/Hulk in recent years cite him as one of their primary inspirations for the character.

    I enjoyed all of the movie incarnations, but in my opinion the best Hulk movie was the original movie pilot for the TV series. That version was to the Hulk was Nolan's movie series is to Batman -- a grounded-in-reality approach that really explores the inner motivations and psyche of the protaganist that plays down some of the more over-the-top comic-book-ish elements, yet retains the core of the character, while providing lots of appeal for non-genre fans.

    Hasn't Batman had the same number of actors? Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney and Christian Bale. Five if you include Adam West. Ruffalo was easily the best out of the Hulk actors.

    This movie Hulk was just better than the previous movie Hulk so just off that Ruffalo comes out looking better. But Norton is the better actor in general.

    Ruffalo, he does need his own movie. From what I saw in the Avengers, he has earned it.
