@Trekker...Ang Lee's attempt at "Hulk" was to do an art house type comic book film, while it accomplished this, I disagree that it was too "full of it's self". It really focused on a lot of the psychological issues that the characters had among themselves (and if you know anything about the Hulk and his supporting cast, this is a theme that continually gets explored). I think the main problem fans have with it...is that for the first attempt at a Hulk film we all had expectations and certain things we were looking for and wanted to see (for instance an action based film with Hulk smashing a lot of stuff) and people were turned off by the serious introspective nature of the film. I have to admit that I didn't like it at first, but after watching it a couple more times since that first viewing, I've come to enjoy it. Louis Leterrier's was far more balanced in it's approach to the character and the things fans wanted to see, despite still containing a lot of flaws.
