If you're going to make a movie based on a book, rebooting an old television show or remaking a movie; carefully selecting those that are/were popular and translate well to the big screen is key.

The CGI is awful. Here's my speculation: No sex appeal. I find nothing sexy about this character. You've lost the chick audience, like me, right there. Superhero joy. There's got to be some joy that comes with superpowers. The audience gets to have that joy vicariously. The Hulk has no joy, and therefore, neither do we. Yeah, you hit the nail on the head.
