Hulk movie premiere smashed Paris

Finally! The green mean guy arrived in France! After being release all over the world in June "The Incredible Hulk" finally opens in France! At least the director was present to answer all our questions! eheheh

In 2003 the Hulk movie didn't get a positive reaction, besides the gamma reaction! eheh A too long movie, slow paced and a very light green super-hero were some of the negative reviews.
Now, 5 years later, the taiwanese director Ang Lee was "replaced" by the french Louis Leterrier. The result? Well, the french green touch is a lot better! ;)

I like this new Hulk. It's not a sequel from the first movie, because Leterrier tries to present another kind of Hulk, from scratch, with a great Edward Norton has the hero. The cast is completely new, which reinforces the idea of a "renewed Hulk movie".
Tim Roth is a convincing bad guy as The Abomination and I enjoyed seeing Liv Tyler as the girlfriend (instead of those "big" names like Jessica Alba, Charlize Theron etc).

For me the movie highlight was at the end, when Louis Leterrier stepped in to answer all kinds of questions from Hulk and movie fans.
And it was during this question and answer session that I found out how cool and down to earth guy Leterrier is.

Thanks to all the comics he read as a child/teenager, he got this opportunity to bring "new blood" to the Hulk series. From his first reactions from Universal Pictures, to the dinner to convince Edward Norton to jump aboard, the bad things from the first Hulk movie (yep, he also didn't like it! eheh) and even about the upcoming superhero movies, the night was full of interesting question and amusing answers.

As the movie theater had to close (it was a late night session), Leterrier proposed to continue the chat outside. How cool is that? :)
