OPINIONI finally got to see THE HULK yesterday, and now I see why it's gotten such mixed reviews. It's a nicely thought-out movie, and it tells Bruce Banner's story in the only plausible way that it could be told in 2003. On the other hand, it takes a lot...

OK, there's two ways to come at this series, the first being from the perspective of a rivet-counting comic book fan, and the second is from the perspective of being just a fan of sci-fi/fantasy TV. If I approach this from the rivet- counting comic book ...
