...among us five years ago in a movie that "disappointed" his fans and those of director Ang Lee, who usually operates at the "finer things" level of moviemaking. It apparently made enough money to encourage this sequel, and Norton plays him a little more soulfully (I think) than Eric Bana did five years ago, though it doesn't much matter to me that Bruce hates the hulky half of his schizoid personality. All monsters, from Frankenstein's onward, share that feeling and use it to enlist our sympathy. It's as routine in these movies as a fireball...
...come to bear his children though only one ascends the throne. Natalie Portman ’03 (“V for Vendetta”) gives one of her most convincing performances as Anne Boleyn, the coy but spirited queen who eventually loses her grip on Henry VIII (Eric Bana, “Munich”). Mary, played by Scarlett Johansson (“Lost in Translation”), is Anne’s quiet and obedient younger sister—the other Boleyn girl—who goes unnoticed until the King brings her to court. For a story...

Johansson must have fancied the strict silhouette: she's reportedly playing Mary, Queen of Scots in another film...
...Huck is played by Eric Bana, (Munich, Black Hawk Down) who is, I think, the most interesting young leading man around right now - capable of great intensity, shaded by elements of emotional confusion, without a lot of actorish egocentricity. He's one of those people who seems to totally live his roles and we like Huck despite the fact that he's drop-dead handsome, full of suppressed anger, self-destructive impulses and a tropism to very bad karma...
...ERIC BANA played Banner in Ang Lee's poorly received 2003 film. Overshadowed by his massive, computer-generated Hulk persona, Bana didn't attract many fans. Will Norton fare better in what Marvel calls a "do-over"? Don't answer; you might make him angry...
