Ever since Ang Lee directed Hulk back in 2003, he has never been able to live down the criticisms he received from the die-hard fanboys for spending way too much time on the drama and not incorporating enough action into the film. Even though the movie grossed $245 million at the box office, it's still considered a major flop and now the famed director, who has helmed such films as Brokeback Mountain and the upcoming 3D extravaganza Life of Pi opened up to Vulture about what he wishes he would have done when he made the first Hulk film:
How did doing The Hulk prepare you for this? And what did you think of Mark Ruffalo's Hulk in The Avengers?
I learned quite a bit about CG from The Hulk, and I wouldn't have been able to do Life of Pi without that. But it's easier to create an animal, because there exists a good reference — so a tiger or a hyena is easier than a 2,000-pound rage monster. The hardest thing to do is the weight, not the skin, because there's no reference for something that size that is agile. And the technology's improved, so you can have more details with Mark's Hulk. My problem is that I took the whole thing too seriously. I should have had more fun with it, instead of all the psychodrama! [Laughs.]
