I'm reserving judgement on the Ed Norton version. The trailer looks pretty good, except I do not like the face of Abomination. It looks like they drew a face on a balloon.
I thought the problems with the Ang Lee version was that it took too long to get to the Hulk. I know they had to establish the characters, but there was clearly a more efficient way to get this all across. Let's face it, when you go to see a Hulk movie, you want to see the Hulk. I think it was 45 minutes before the first "hulk out". When the Hulk did appear he was TOO green, I hate to quote the masses...but he looked like an angry Shrek. I didn't like that his size varied from scene too scene, while the Hulk's strength increases with anger, his size does not. Finally, I thought the movie was TOO psychological, I understand there is a psychological factor in the story, but it went too far.
In the end, the Hulk is a superhero and an action story. That is what we all wanted and I think that is what this new movie will be.
