No, the first movie sucked. You're the second person I've ever seen that enjoyed that movie. Yes, it was long and drawn out but that was one of many things that were bad about the movie. The constant "comic book cuts" really took you out of the movie, the Hulk was wayyyy to big, not to mention the fact that he looked fake. Let's also not forget about the super villain the Hulk faced in that movie. Oh wait. He didn't face one. Come on man, it sucked on multiple levels.
And as far as a "Sci-Fi Original," next time you see effects that good on Sci-Fi send me a million dollars because that will never be a reality.
