The TV series, even though I watched it religiously as a kid was nothing more than Lou Ferrigno in body paint. Doesn't scream belivable at all. The first film directed by Ang Lee was a joke and is in my Top 3 most hated movies of all time. HORRIBLE. The story, acting, direction and CGI was blow-your-brains-out bad. I did enjoy and like the followup with Ed Norton. It was fun, but the CGI, although better this time around....was still not perfected and needed work. With The Avengers, all the parts finally came together as it should have been all along.
