Ooh, ouch.

Direct-to-video, eh? I think Duchovny could actually make a better Banner than Bana did, but that doesn’t inspire confidence.

Then again, the theatrical _Hulk_ bored me because it was purely effects-driven and had weak script. Maybe a smaller budget and the freedom from having to simultaneously cover the origin _and_ new material might actually make for a better film in some ways.

And maybe heavy exposure to gamma radiation really _does_ make nerds into unstoppable behemoths…
