Wanna See The HULK After He's Been Stomping Through San Francisco's Sewers'
Hey Folks, Harry here... Ok, imagine you're being hounded and shot at by America's Armed Forces, and everytime they shoot you, it just hurts like hell making get bigger and meaner, and meanwhile as you grow, you're underwear is giving you one helluva mean wedgie that you just can't fix. Desperate to get away, you dive into the San Francisco Sewer Line, where the foul funk just gets you more and more mad. So you bust up, covered in dung, now baking in the sun smelling like Harry Knowles and looking like the newest spokesperson for Green Beans as the sneaky U.S. Military sends helicopters that look like they're gonna shoot you in the back... Sucks being the HULK doesn't it? Thanks goes out to FETT!

Whatcha gonna do when Hulkamania smahes wild on you, brother?!?

WHOO BOY! Hulk looks not only stinky, but like he needs to let one go!...By the way....his shirt rips, but not his pants....I know eveyone brings it up, but I need to as well....when my pants are tight, I rip the crotch getting in the car every time....Maybe it is because Hulk isn't driving.....Also....if you eat several spoonfuls of Blue cake icing (the kind in the can) you can have green turds several hours later.....HULK SHIT! FANTASTIC!...I think Bruce Banner has a bad day trying to pinch a loaf and blows up while taking a dump, smashing the loo....that would almost make up for the lack of Jennifer Connelly's cleavage......And thus, I have spoken! - - - George, The 7th Chicken!!!!
-
his skin, muscles and shadowing are good-ass looking. his pants look cg and dumb. and his beautiful summer rain GREEN color sure reeks of radiation alright. but still, i can't wait to see it. especially after watching plastic neo fighting alot of plastic agent scullys. i mean smiths. i was entertained by this matrix movie, although the dialogue tended to be too high-falutin.
-
that actually looks really good and realistic light-wise. ----also, i'm 110 pages into the novelization, and it's fucking fantastic. i know a lot of that is due to Peter David's writing, and the humor and characterization he injects, but the movie will make up for that in its Ang Lee-ness. So hopefully it will still be good. And so far, the dogs are fucking creepy.

Hulk looks best in the sun so far...I can't wait for this movie
by tarl_cabot
Hulk will smash X-men.
-
This is the clearest shot yet , and it just looks too cartoony ,for anyone to be convinced.He lacks detail or something , broken veins all over his skin, and a bit of the translucency that body builders who've gone a bit too far might help.He looks like he's made out of, lime green party balloons!At best it looks like the Hulk has joined the cast of the roughnecks , starship troopers animated series.Theres also more than a hint of that dodgy scorpion king thingy from the end of Mummy returns.
-
HA! Now that it's been said....I just can't buy this, sorry...I bought Tobey kicking ass, H. Berry kicking ass, even Affleck kicking ass, but CGI crap? I just don't get it....I'm not buying this whole "Ang Lee can do anything crap either, he made one 1/2 way decent arthouse movie, that's it....that's being said, I hope I'm wrong...

by davidcamp
I know its covered in purple trouser material, but still...some poor son of a bitch had to animate that swinging green log.
-
but I'd still bang him. What? He must be packing 18 inches minimally, right?
-
Unfortunately, this has "godzilla" written all over it. They *should* have hired some huge, mongloid bodybuilder -- added some Rick Baker prosthetic brow and facial features, and used the forced perspective and CGI enhanced size route ala Lord of the Rings. I guess they think looking like a video game is a better route -- what the hell do I know? Gollum he ain't.
-
for a few weeks now. Still looks fake to me. Looks like a guy in a rubber suit.
-
He sends Harry a pic that's been on the web for weeks, because Harry runs a movie site but is unaware of these things apparently, so Harry now has to forgive him for 4 months worth of hot, off topic posts? It's cool with me because he's the only other Star Wars fan besides me, but this seems like an obvious bribe. Anyway, here's hoping HULK smashes puny Matrix! Or at least Spider-man.
-
if some radioactive 15' tall green dude had just gotten out of the SF sewer system, he'd have at least a half dozen rubbers stuck to him.
-
OK, so he's a cartoon. So was the T-Rex in JP and the big chameleon in GODZILLA. Nothing's going to change that now, as much as I might wish he were a flesh-and-blood bodybuilder painted green and sporting a Klingon-type facepiece. The question is, will he come across like T-Rex in JP or that namby-pamby, stupid-looking lizard in GODZILLA? Only time will tell. The movie is clearly aimed at a juvenile audience, so no harm done one way or the other. I guess. Look, kids! It's a shot of downtown San Francisco with a cartoon guy running through it! Oh boy! Can't wait!
-
why is he so damn big?

i find this website fascinating yet unhealthy. ever since AICN first started out and the net developed geeks have had too much satisfaction. get excited over a fucking picture. but its a trap, i myself find it intriguing to know this shit buts its just stupid. funny thing is most people who visit this site arent really film buffs. not of proper film. effect shots do not a film make. if your really a fan of film youd be disgusted at the prospect (like me) of lifelike character driven cgi. gollum was fascinating but scary. scary in the sense that some day in the future cgi will replace actors when the tech is more sophisticated and cheaper to reproduce, more than paying an actor. and harry is also to blame. he gives overexposure to popcorn movies like this and then there is usually a complaint of some kind like its ben dumbed down for big audiences or whatever. but a film with a big budget will have, the more the budget the less artistic freedom a director has. and thats not taking into account for the marketing. one fucking picture. sheesh. i hope ive annoyed you geeks cause i love it when you get annoyed. you just whine. i have a friend who does this and you laugh but cant resist punching him. and for the record he's a very confused and emotionally unstable young man, whos worked at a factory for 4 years and lives with his parents, is 26 years old cant drive still buys toys is very non compatible as a person and puts all his energy into ranting against film critics who didnt like x men 2, instead of doing something productive with his life. i find that geeks are so much like this, they find it hard to fathom that some one disagrees with them over something they obcess over, when really they should be digressing over their future. so that means all you guys are the same. you must be. fucking losers. i hope i get banned. BTW i look forward to reading your replies as i am in the mood for argument and i may or may not be serious. if you reply with vitriol which i hope you all do you have a dark side, if you cant be fucked to your cooler than i expected. lets just see. so, new debate, U R ALL GEEKS, how do you feel about that? comfortable with it? EVERY FILM YOU HAVE LIKED THIS YEAR IS SHIT! STAR TRECK IS SHIT! bearing in mind i may or may not be serious about this, just fucking with your minds.

by atticus finch
Seriously.
-
..and this whole movie looks like shit on the screen. Between the picture where the Hulk is three times as big as Jennifer to this claymation looking crap, I am worried that the effects in this will make what seems like a good story, suck major green ass!!!
-
...looked just as good as the T-Rex did in JP. Sorry to burst your bubble. While story might've sucked (esp. the whole raptor/baby Godzilla's), the special effects in that movie were fucking FLAWLESS!
-
Judging by the trailers, he won't be that bright toothpaste color in the film, and his pants won't look like that. The detail is cool, but the color of the photo doesn't look good at all.
-
GreatKingRat - yes, it is a turd, he just came out of the sewers or did you not read the article in your rush to post? Geesh. Hogan posts are so passe. First posts are a laugh - a laugh at lives far more pathetic than mine, I didn't think that possible. Beanpole posts - just a step down from first posts, is there no originality left? The Hulk may not be the greatest comic book movie ever produced, but I am willing to bet that it makes $80 million on opening weekend and then drops off about 35%. Far less of a drop from the Star Wars and Star Trek steaming piles put on our plates lately. I'd put my McDs paycheck up against anyone on that except I am not a gambler nor do not endorse that kind of thing. I am now off to ride Shai-Hialud into the deep desert to contemplate a giant green human. (Yeah, I've got to work on my character and spelling.)
-
heh naaa j/k but it still has a ways to go...I think usually once it gets down to a few weeks b4 release, they get the graphic artists working triple time to make sure everything looks a-ok. well as much as possible.//
-
OK, so "real" CGI is still a few years away, but I think this movie is going to be a blast anyway.
BTW, I think the "Dumb and Dumberer" spoofs of the "Real Cancun" ads that have been running around here forever are kind of funny. -

-
For the longest time, I couldn't help but think, something just doesn't look right about the Hulk. I have concluded that it's the face. Hulk does have a broad jaw, but in the picture, his face looks plain fat! His body is chiseled, so why doesn't he have the same chiseled jaw as in the comic? Time for an extreme makeover??

If you look at the buildings on both sides of the hulk you'll notice that the shadows are falling on both planes. Must be high noon. Nit picky idiot. If you don't like it just say so and leave it at that. Here check out a gif I did with this picture about a week or so ago. Harry your slipping bud.

Hulk like to keep donkey cock on the leftside. say it everybody: PENIS PENIS PENIS!!!
-
I just keep thinking that there's something really wrong about this movie's CGI....
we'll see.. -
I am sick of the naysayers here moaning and whing about the shade of green the Hulk is, his pants, and for pity's sake, THE SHADOW ON HIS FRIGGIN' HAND.
CG is CG people. It's special effects. The only reason you know that it's CG is because your subconscious knows that the Hulk doesn't really exist.
Honestly, do you people advocating a human Hulk realize what you're saying? You want a six-foot, MAYBE seven foot guy trying to be the Hulk? There's no way you could find someone who would be agile enough or as good an actor. I personally think that CG can outperform a lot of actors today ::couch::Affleck::cough::.
Personally, I would not accept any Hulk that was less than eight feet tall. Lou Ferrigno was fun to watch, but he was not the Hulk. He was Lou Ferrigno being the Hulk. Seriously, asking for a bodybuilder in makeup to play the Hulk is like asking your stuntman to personally swing across New York on ropes to play Spiderman.
Be glad that there are superb actors presenting a superb story under the supervision of a superb director. -
>>Seriously, asking for a bodybuilder in makeup to play the Hulk is like asking your stuntman to personally swing across New York on ropes to play Spiderman.<<
Only to a narrow mind. Or did you think Ian McKellan and Ian Holm in Bag end were really seperated by 4ft. of height when both actors faces were clearly visable and emoting? Or was that maybe cgi enhancements and forced perspective? Is it that much of a stretch to think the same thing could be done in relation to the Hulk's size, speed and environment if he were a real person? The mind set now is everything has to be CGI overload -- no matter if it isn't with skilled craftsmen always at the helm. CGI should be used in tandem and to augment traditional make up and SPX, all of which were demonstrated and combined beautifully in LOTR. Don't think so? Cool -- let's agree to disagree.
The jury is still out on this film, but from what I've seen -- it looks bad. Stretch Armstrong bad. In the trailers, Hulk doesn't even seem to have any weight or natural movements -- regardless of his size. I wanted to like this one, but wanting does not make it so. -
HULK WANT LEATHER BOYS INTO S & M! HULK HAVE HIS GAY WAY WITH BOY TOYS! GURR! ARRR!

by theginger twit
CGI is just too overused!
-
is that it's inconsistent, especially with respect to the size thing. one minute there's a 2 foot difference between the hobbits and gandalf, the next, it's 4. not to mention all of the fakey looking fights and shit that look like they are straight from a video game or a marines commercial. the ents, gollum half of the time, etc. nerd fans of this franchise have just convinced themselves that the special effects look completely real. same thing happened with the matrix and star wars geeks. anyway, it wasn't a big problem, because it's clearly cgi and it's all fantasy. there has to be some suspension of disbelief.
-
The only way to do this movie justice is using a CGI HULK and they did this with a great looking beast but if you can go out and find a 10 foot man with a bad temper and how doesnt mind being painted green every day and can pull of a 30 inch waste pair of pants then i will never watch another comic movie again, STOP BITCHING ABOUT SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
The pants look more shit than the shit on him.
Is it just me or is the colour wrong. Not the Hulk I was thinking the Golden Gate bridge. How long has it been white? -

Hulk looks CGI? Off course, what do you expect!? He is a 15 foot tall green giant. Does he look like Shrek? Fuck no!

THIS IS JUST A BAD PICTURE... LOOK AT THE WASHED OUT WHITES TO T
by antonphd
I have a fullscreen image of the hulk face and I have looked and looked and looked at it for weeks and it looks real. I am a programmer and digital imager. My first year of work out of college was for Wildlife Photographers. You want to talk detail and realism. Try working with horse hair with a 25 year wildlife photography veteran looking over your shoulder saying that it just doesn't feeeel right yet and you will LEARN to make it look real. So... I know. And these distance shots CAN'T be detailed without looking fake because you CAN'T see detail from a distance. And this shot is just badly copied. Pause the Quicktime trailer for a better look than this.
-
That shot looks fucking cool, as does this movie. All you CGI bashing armchair experts should shut the fuck up. You all know so much about how real life should look yet fail to grasp the one biggy of this situation. THE HULK'S NOT FUCKING REAL. So if he doesn't fit your approximation of what the real Hulk looks like or how he should be "rendered", too fucking bad. Go back and jack off to the "real" movies that had no CGI and relied on century old technology like Clash of the Titans and Kong Lives. Am I bashing those films? No. But they are dated. Time to fucking move on and accept the fact that we are in the infancy of this technology. You want a man painted green who yells and can throw foam boulders and bullies through tables then watch the Hulk TV show. If you want to see a giant pissed off green monster throw tanks across deserts and rampage through buildings, then jump on board. WHO FUCKING CARES IF HIS FUCKING HAND ISN'T SHADOWED PERFECTLY.
-
Amen, brother. Thank you for so thoroughly stating what should be obvious to most film geeks but -- sadly -- isn't. Doc out.
-
Could that be from the best superhero show ever... FREAKAZOID!!!
-
If there was an official statement saying that ILM was not responsible for the CGI rendering of the Hulk, but instead was the work of WETA, the very same people who say the CGI Hulk looks fake and cartoony now would be falling over themselves to praise the Photorealism of the Hulk. You know it's true, even though George Lucas has nothing to do with the Hulk, people hate him so much that they will bash ILM's work simply because it is George Lucas's Effects House.
-
DAAAMN. Dude! Take a SHOWER! >.< WHOOOO.
-
It almost deserves that title.
-
What the hell is this Sexiest tomboy beanpole shit?It sounds like some ol'homo lingo that statement is on every posting on this site.
Just letting you all know it sounds faggity -
The effects in this film look decidedly ropey. He looks like shrek on steroids and doesn't seem to match the background.
-
I'm not Hulk-bashing, its just that practically everytime I see a picture of CGI Hulk, he looks incredibly fake. Even the CGI poo smeared on him looks fake! What the fuck, ILM? - I WANT YOU' but not in that way.
-
I was on the Subway the other day and noticed a big fat woman wearing what looked like a jogging suit made out of dark blue felt. I did not start thinking, "She must be computer generated. The CGI looks fake because the light refracting off that material isn't convincing, you can't see her veins through the skin and besides a woman that fat wouldn't ever jog." I didn't look at her with disbelief because I know I live in reality. When watching a movie, you are expected to suspend disbelief because everyone walks into the movie knowing that it is not, in fact, reality. We are expected to believe that a room turns blue-ish when the lights go out. Or that explosions are always accompanied by giant balls of fire. If you can't go into a movie ready to accept fake things as being true, then don't go to a movie. Certainly bashing the effects based on a still promotional shot for a movie is ludicrous. Before there was CGI, the geek complaint was "that character looks too much like a real person, because they were played by real people. Now that we know stuff is computer generated, folks complain about that. It's completely pointless if you aren't willing to give a movie the benefit of the doubt. Not to mention how spoiled we are with photo-realistic effects these days. One of the all-tme classic films "Wizard of Oz" contains such things as visible wires holding up the lion's tail and obvious miniuatures representing flying monkeys and witches. Does that movie suck because you can tell the effects are fake? Should we trash the flick because it's obvious that the "tin man" is actually a regular guy wearing makeup? Give up the bashing already. RANT OVER!
-
Hulk is NOT pure CG. He was modeled off an Australian bodybuilder -- Lee Preist, 2002 Mr. Olympia 5th place. Do a google images search to see. The CG was only used to expand the size (Lee is only 5'4"), and add the colors, but all of the movement is directly captured from a human.

Maybe Bruce Bana was working out at 24 Hour Fitness in his pick-up-the-chicks purple spandex pants when he got mad. That's why they're so stretchy. Picture looks pretty good. Movie might be good, might not. Let's wait and see.

I think any Star Wars fan will love the test footage ILM has put together with a kid that is begging cast as young luke skywalker
http://www.waxy.org/random/video/Star_Wars_Kid_Remix_redirect.php -
Did King Kong look less than 'real' several decades ago? He should have done. Even in those primitive days, when stop-motion was in its infancy, anyone with a keen eye - not overwhelmed by the magic of the movies - would have noticed that the giant ape moved in a decidedly stilted fashion.
Did such minor inconsistencies ruin many people's enjoyment of the film? No.
In this modern age of intense scrutiny and cynicism, is your fascination and emotional connection with King Kong rendered obsolete because its SFX are antique by today's standards? I hope not.
The film has heart and soul.
Yes, Gollum is clearly a CGI creation. 'He' shares a screen with 'real' human actors. Does this detract from the genuine power and emotion inherent within the character? NO.
Gollum is rendered beautifully. I was astounded by how much feeling and pathos poured out of this animated creation.
Many of you are too obsessed with the technicalities of film-making. Most of you don't even understand the intricacies involved in creating the Hulk for the big screen. None of you have even seen the final results of this endeavour.
Some of you have forgotten what it's like to have an imagination, an open heart and a mind which thinks beyond a few pixels. Damn shame.
