Battle Of The Hulks

I don't recall the Hulk ever being THAT big in the comics though. And even if he was, that's not how Stan Lee originally created the character.

Ruffalo's Hulk seems to be exactly how classic Hulk should be.

CC you seem to have this thing, if a story or a character doesn't fall in line with the comics or how you imagined it you get butthurt mad.

That's not true. X-Men: First Class doesn't stay all that true to the comic books either. Yet, it's one of my favorite comic book films of all time.

See Mike, what I'm doing is what you call nitpicking. It's something every fan does. It doesn't necessary mean I think the film is bad. Hell, as much as I bash Raimi's Spider-Man, I own all three movies on DVD and Blu-ray.

So you're butthurt AND sheepish.

You are actually right about this point. I believe Hulk is on average around 9 feet tall in the comics. That being said, in comics the artists just make nearby characters short so that Hulk dwarfs them and looks more intimidating. In the real world some people are about 7 feet tall, the tallest guy in the world being 8 feet something. In a film I guess it makes sense to make him a bit larger and more intimidating in that sense. But you raise a valid point.

Dwayne Rock is fucking buff. That's his actual body with green makeup over it.

The Rock would have been a better Hulk than the giant turd known as Shrek in Ang Lee's version.

Eric Bana was the best Hulk. He was the only one that really jumped around like Hulk did, and the only one who was nearly powerful enough to be considered THE Incredible Hulk. Edward Norton was a better Bruce though, IMO.
