Nauheed Cyrusi at HULK Premiere. Whether or not you enjoyed 2003’s Hulk (and for the record I did) is irrelevant to your enjoyment of (or not) The Incredible Hulk (2008). The Incredible Hulk (2008) is an entirely different beast, and has about as much connection to Hulk (2003) as Universal’s Frankenstein (1931) has with Hammer Film’s Curse of Frankenstein (1957); although both films are based on the same character and share much of the supporting cast, they are completely independent of one one other and exist in their own universe.
