I actually enjoyed Lee's Hulk, but I think the 2008 version blew its doors off. Lee's interpretation of Hulk was interesting, but not the Hulk I liked from reading the comics. Hulk as Hulk (not as Banner) is better when he's portrayed more simplistically so that the viewer can project his own impressions of what is going on onto the character IMO. The whole child abuse angle or whatever it was felt really unnecessary and to be pushing the Hulk "tortured psyche" symbolism too far to me. There was a parallel in the comics, but that only goes back to the '80s and is a decision I didn't like there, either. It's enough to say that Banner must always be alone and troubled because of his alter ego. That's the real tragedy of the Hulk. Banner has to deal with the consequences of what Hulk does. Hulk himself doesn't need to have daddy issues and to feel sorry for himself and whatnot.
