The Norton movie was better because Norton is a strong actor, but he also demanded a lot of the changes that made it resemble the "TV" version much more than the comic one. Both Hulks suffered from the same problem in differing levels: complete disregard for the original source material. Norton's relied on Bill Bixby's version (who was rumored to be a tool to work with too) and Ang Lee just went ahead and "Re-imagined" the whole thing. Superman Returns thinks that was a bad fucking idea.
It never ceases to amaze me when comic movie adaptations ignore decades of solid plots, characters, and storylines in order to re-invent the wheel. Dance with the girl that brung ya, fellas. She's your ride home...
