Ed Norton is not believeable as Banner - at least Mr. Bana, from the Ang Lee film, had a believeable Bruce Banner.

The first thing I thought when I saw Norton as Bruce Banner was that he actually reminded me of the Bruce Banner as played by Bill Bixby. I found Eric Bana more unbelievable as Bruce Banner.
On the other hand, these days Bana could replace Lou Ferigno to play the Hulk

I'm having a hard time seeing how Ed Norton could possibly have been cast for the Monster. The monster will be done entirely in CGI and will have no dialogue whatsoever. He could only have been cast for banner.

I liked Bana as Bruce Banner, but he really didn't fit the mark of Bruce from the comics. Even though I am having a hard time picturing Norton as Banner, he has proved he can be a sniveling whiney loser (Italian Job, Rounders), and his frame in the trailer looks more like Banner from the comics, pretty slender. Plus he looks tired, disheveled...I don't know, it's all kind of speculation on how it will all work until the film comes out. But I would agree with the comment that the general public will be confused, thinking this is some sort of sequel. I don't know how they could successfully refute that in their advertising without taking away from the new movie.

As is typical, I tried to make a point and messed it up, so let me back up and try to explain myself again (this usually happens when I become upset or angry :)).
I did not mean to imply I thought they cast Norton for the Hulk, or Bana either. What I was trying to get at was this....they put SO much damned importance on how good a CGI Hulk will look that they forget to cast a human actor worth a damn to play the Hulk's alter ego. The other movies, however, did focus on the alter ego first and the troubled soul inside - if you will - that leads to the hero's emergence.
That said, the Hulk does come at things from a completely different angle. Here you do have the little wimp who doesn't really want this power. Maybe it's just impossible to cast for - but wait, the TV people found Bill Bixby, didn't they?

Each of us is entitled to his opinions here, but I really wish I could see it through your eyes. (edit) When I look at it, Norton is nowhere - and I mean NOWHERE - near Bixby's Banner. That's just a pure out insult.

Ahnold was the other guy they considered for that part... how freakin' classic would that series be if they had actually cast him? :laugh2:
