HULK Trailer SMASHES in QUICKTIME GOODNESS!

this... is great. by BEARison Ford	Apr 21st, 2003 06:22:36 PM
anybody who bitches about that cgi has a total imagination problem.
Nice by alexkenobi	Apr 21st, 2003 06:24:11 PM

This movie will definitely... by Dolemite_fan	Apr 21st, 2003 06:25:22 PM
wipe away the terd that was DAREDEVIL. Ang Lee is one talented auteur, that's all I can say really. Nunziata predicts $190 mill., but I think it'll go further than that.

Can't wait, can't HOLD IT!!!!
I guess I am a douche bag by I_Got_Mad_Gritz	Apr 21st, 2003 06:27:58 PM
CGI looks cartoony, but it's a fucking comic book movie. Comes with the territory. The Hulk is going to kick ass.

An image that I didn't want in my head. Shudders
Looks like the Hulk to me..... by SteelyDanzig	Apr 21st, 2003 06:29:00 PM
....UNO!!!!! Let the whining dork-a-thon begin!!!
Looks damn good. by Sea Bass	Apr 21st, 2003 06:29:49 PM
And the CGI doesn't look cartoonish to me. The motion is actually some of the best I've seen. He has weight in movement, unlike SpiderMan.
I'm impressed by GreedoNeverShot	Apr 21st, 2003 06:29:51 PM
I must admit, he looks better in motion than he did in the brief glimpses of the teasers. I guess I'm officially looking forward to this one now. By the way, where is Banner buying these purple pants? I wouldn't even know where to start looking.
That is one angry green f***er! by Roj Blake	Apr 21st, 2003 06:34:19 PM
'Nuff said.
lame by tsnbrody1	Apr 21st, 2003 06:36:13 PM
Who cares, big guy breaks things. Yawn, this movie will be Godzilla bad.
A little suspicious............... by Kingdaddy	Apr 21st, 2003 06:37:09 PM
Much better trailer.........BUT, something reeks. Just doesn't look nearly as good as Matrix Reloaded or X2. One of the three will be shit - and the Big Greenie might just bite the Big Green Weenie.
holy crap by digdig	Apr 21st, 2003 06:38:49 PM
this looks awesome. Acting looks solid all around. Gonna be a great year for large scale movies.
Well what do you want, tsnbrody1, it's the fucking Hulk! by Sea Bass	Apr 21st, 2003 06:40:03 PM
I know that on this site it's the cool thing to be all jaded and unimpressed with every movie not involving Hobbits but give it a rest already. The movie looks good for what it is.
Plastercine tat... by DeFiCaToR	Apr 21st, 2003 06:40:10 PM
Oh dear poor, poor, poor CGI. Looks like a bloody clay model. A load of pants. But I suppose the fanboys will say it's great.
Looks great! -Eric Bana has my vote for next 007- by Tarl_Cabot	Apr 21st, 2003 06:55:36 PM
Hugh Jackman is my second choice...Wolverine or Hulk? How odd to choose between the 2 stars those two characters, respectively.
You guys are spoilt!!! by Tydirium	Apr 21st, 2003 06:58:17 PM
WHINGE WHINE CGI looks crap. Whats your problem!!! I'm not a hulk fanboy and I think it looks great. If some of the best sfx companies in the world are "poor", I'd like to see you try. What you gonna do..paint yourself green?!?
Yawn... by Moosehead1867	Apr 21st, 2003 07:05:35 PM
This movie still looks like crap. The FX are laughable at best. The Hulk looks like he's made out of playdough. I keep wondering when sprout will show up. ILM has officially lost it. At least Jennifer Connelly looks hot.

Anyone else catch that side kick Hulk gave at the end? All in all, good trailer, can't wait to see the actual film.

Yes!!! by odysseus	Apr 21st, 2003 07:38:17 PM
Hulk will SMASH!!! Looks like Ang nailed it, visually. And knowing his work, I'm sure the story and script will be superlative, too.
seriously the beanpole thing... by digdig	Apr 21st, 2003 07:40:05 PM
can we give it a rest?
Hulk CGI by LazerRanger	Apr 21st, 2003 07:40:43 PM
I personally think the CGI has gotten better with each trailer and to all the moaners, look perfect CGI is gonna take a long long time especially when creating human-alike characters. The reason it looks fake is because, well, it is fake dumbasses! I'm not gonna judge this this movie until I've seen it, althought I did enjoy this trailer a lot more than the rest.
HOLY FUCKING CRAP by Homer Jay	Apr 21st, 2003 07:43:45 PM
I am officially blown away. Fuck Gollum.
Did you HAVE to go THERE Harry? by KCMOSHer	Apr 21st, 2003 07:43:55 PM
You have ruined the big Hulky goodness by making me visualize your sex life with Junior Mintz. Isn't assaulting us with your giant animated man-titties enough, man???
Harry's Breast Animation by LazerRanger	Apr 21st, 2003 07:47:24 PM
I've been coming to this site for about 3 years now and I have to say that this is Harry's sickest animation yet, has he got no shame????
Harry by HotSmurfChowder	Apr 21st, 2003 07:50:38 PM
Harry needs to hire ILM to make his fat, revolting man titties look more appetizing. Right now I feel as though the McDonalds I ate is on its way out and onto the keyboard.
quicktime sellout by banditbdl	Apr 21st, 2003 07:51:42 PM
how much does apple pay harry to pump up quicktime and rip on everything whenever he has a chance
I don't know... by thewoodpecker	Apr 21st, 2003 07:52:23 PM
With all due respect to Larchmont NY's fav resident, Ang Lee, something doesn't seem quite right with this. It's seems a little too low key; like they were talking about Bruce Banner losing his job over his temper, not trashing San Fransico because he lost it. I've read that Ang Lee wants this to be a metaphor for a dysfunctional family, but this seems a little too quiet for the Hulk.
Much Much Better by NickFoley	Apr 21st, 2003 07:57:52 PM
It actually looks halfway decent now.
Fucking A!!!!! by Gabba-UK	Apr 21st, 2003 07:58:27 PM
I'm officially jazzed up for this one!! And to all you naysaying geeks who are moaning about the the 'crappy CGI, looking fake', its a 12ft height green man that can hammer throw tanks. How is that real? Bugger off and get laid. Your taking life far too seriously........
Your the one talking it too seriously by NickFoley	Apr 21st, 2003 08:01:49 PM
You honestly care about what other people on the internet have to say about a freaking movie. You have your own opinions, regardless of what other think
Long live the sexiest tomboy beanpole on the planet! by ChaseSequence	Apr 21st, 2003 08:05:56 PM
It will go away when Keira Knightley bids us adieu. And this movie looks like it's going to be awesome.
Wood pecker ... by ChaseSequence	Apr 21st, 2003 08:09:36 PM
I just think Ang Lee's trying to no blow his wad before we get into the theater. Dig?
Cuts so quick you can't see the Hulk... by Marco Ruas	Apr 21st, 2003 08:22:17 PM
...makes Marco Ruas uneasy. If the Hulk looked GREAT they'd give you a decent look at it. Godzilla 2.
To me, Bana kind of looks like... by ChickenDelicious	Apr 21st, 2003 08:34:24 PM
Christopher Reeve. I could see him being a decent Superman...right look, good actor. Of course, that won't happen - no way in hell could you jump from one superhero to another. Still, if he had never taken the Hulk role...
HULK ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!! by IAmMovieMaster	Apr 21st, 2003 08:34:30 PM
What's the organ music playing in the background in the beginning of the trailer? Is that from a prior movie? ALL HAIL THE HULK!! (and Harry will you please get that creepy Phoebe Cates non-homage off your webpage - it's turning me blind!!)
One of the best trailers I have ever seen... by Steal_Dragon	Apr 21st, 2003 08:44:25 PM
I hope the movie is just as great, perhaps better.
The best shot was... by Terry_1978	Apr 21st, 2003 08:47:34 PM
that closeup when the Hulk is shuddering...man, they did a good job with the movements on that one
HULK SMASH PUNY T3!!!!!!! by Sith Lord Sauron	Apr 21st, 2003 09:00:52 PM
This, Matrix Reloaded, and X2 will rule the summer. T3 is the dark horse in the race, and it's got hella competition for your movie going dollar. Me, my money's on the big green dude. No, not the Jolly green Giant.********O.K., time for the comic book nerd in me to come out: I would like to see a crossover with Superman and the Hulk. Not fighting each other, that's too obvious; rather they should join forces against a common enemy. But who could last longer then one page against those two, Galactus? Any ideas??
this movie... by Daenerys	Apr 21st, 2003 09:02:31 PM
...looks so cool. and Eric Bana is hot. i'm on board.

Holy spank me purple and call me a bitch that was farking amazing, I really wasn't sure of this flick at first, now all systems are go, Hulk look insane!!!
I Was SO Wrong. by CHEWBLACCA	Apr 21st, 2003 09:14:33 PM
I was so sure THE HULK would be overthought and suck as a result.The more I see the more I dig THE HULK.I guess I hold the Hulk a little too dear,since it was my first favorite comic book back in '74.The concept can really appeal to a scrawny 4th grader.One who lives in constant fear of an ass beating until he sprouts in high school.Anyway,I think Ang Lee will show us all.
by allykatD	Apr 21st, 2003 09:18:21 PM

Hokey by allykatD	Apr 21st, 2003 09:19:43 PM
I think the CGI Hulk looks too hokey. Bummer. I was looking forward to this movie... I'll probably still go see it because the kids will like it, but still. Hmm.
That did nothing for me. by The Hillbrothers	Apr 21st, 2003 09:31:38 PM
They must not have enough FX sequences completed to show us anything really thrilling (that we haven't seen before).
Corey Feldman by spikendruscilla	Apr 21st, 2003 09:38:20 PM
Anybody else think that Eric Bana looks and sounds a helluva lot like Corey Feldman in this trailer. Spooky....
HULK MASH by madoo14	Apr 21st, 2003 09:40:31 PM
Thats right !! Jennifer Connely can't wait to get all over that big green piece of man candy. GO HULK, tap that ASSS! But seriously this movie will kick how do you say . . . . . ah yes . . . . ASS. And quicktime is the better format, clearer picture, no buffer bullshit, plus you can do frame by frame and catch all those quick shots something Media Player doesn't have for all its files. But WMP is better for everything else.
When I saw this trailer with my buddies, by PumpyMcAss	Apr 21st, 2003 09:59:47 PM
when it was over, we all sang at the same time, "Gaaaayyyyy!!!"
CGI Spiderman didn't look that great either. by UncleSam	Apr 21st, 2003 10:16:20 PM
Some of the scenes on the trailer, the Hulk actually looked good. I'll put my faith into Gale Anne Hurd who doesn't get much attention outside of Hollywood circles. I would say at least 90% of the movies she produces are entertaining. Her track record on success has been always up their with Spielberg.
I think they did motion capture using Mr. Bean by aargh	Apr 21st, 2003 10:23:37 PM
in the shot where Hulky gets out of his little underwater chamber. (watch it in slo-mo) Just my opinion.
CGI looks alot better then in the other trailers by joeblowe	Apr 21st, 2003 10:24:43 PM
Whatever they did it worked.
Man the CGI in this movie looks soooooo bad by chillzatl	Apr 21st, 2003 10:26:35 PM
It looks bad. It's such a shame too. Because the production and tone of the film seems so serious and very well acted. But then it cuts to these scenes of the hulk and it looks like a video game. It makes it hard to fall into the film and believe it. I'll be in line on opening night to see it. But I have little hope that it's going to NOT look so plasticy and fake on the big screen. Is this ILM work? They are slipping, bad. THey need a software re-write or something. WETA is miles ahead of them in terms of realistic lighting, movement and skin work.
Bitch, bitch, CGI bitch... by Dru	Apr 21st, 2003 10:42:37 PM
What the hell is wrong with you naysaying crybabies? How good can fucking computers possibly make a 10 ft. fucking green giant LOOK?! I don't think this movie has enough behind it to beat out the Matrix or X2. But this still looks great. This will be a really interesting film 'cause the general public is going to get a real anti-hero for once. No crime-fighting, no gadgets, no claws or black leather. Just absolute mindless rage. There is something inside all of us that can relate to this movie- we should all be lookig forward to it. Out.
Trailer Music by Protoman	Apr 21st, 2003 11:11:21 PM
Anyone recognize the music in the trailer, namely the organ piece?
HOLY MUTHERFUCKING LORD BABY JESUS, THAT MADE MY FUCKING DAY. by ChinkyDaniels	Apr 21st, 2003 11:12:05 PM
Man, I love the hulk.
Like Shrek on steroids by ramius	Apr 21st, 2003 11:14:20 PM
Don't criticize people who don't like the FX. I think they look like shiat; just because the character is based in fantasy doesn't mean it shouldn't look like a real creature in a live-action film. I'm still going to have to see this film for two reasons: (1) Ang Lee, (2) James Schamus. This movie won't even come close to touching "X2" or the "Matrix" sequels, but I'm sure it'll be on par with "American Wedding."
BEARison Ford by ramius	Apr 21st, 2003 11:17:26 PM
Read a goddamn book... talking about imagination and ejaculating over this trailer.
Yeah, the CGI Hulk looks cartoony, but I'm sure this will great by JohnnyTremaine	Apr 21st, 2003 11:18:36 PM

This is wrong... by Blind Willie	Apr 21st, 2003 11:21:46 PM
First thing I thought when I saw this.. is this the hulk or the revenge of Shrek. I dont mean to get people riled up but he looks freakin ridiculous. It makes me sad. Im a huge comic fan and I dig the hulk. In my book though this kinda stuff just don't fly.
Nick Nolte is the sexiest tomboy crackwhore on the planet by ramius	Apr 21st, 2003 11:26:16 PM
I'll wait around for Ang or Sam Raimi to deliver a decent comic book-based film while half of you stimulate Hollywood's economy visiting this pile of shiat.

Trailer Music by Ronin_Jai	Apr 21st, 2003 11:34:34 PM
Does anyone know what the song used in the earlier trailer is? I just heard it in the opening of the C.S.I. episode "And Then There Were None"

I am so glad someone here besides me has noticed the uncanny resemblance of Bana to Feldman. I thought the shrooms were doing it to me....
I so want to like this movie by Sci_Fi_Wasabe	Apr 21st, 2003 11:41:33 PM
but I'm having a hard time with the CG hulk. I'm trying not to notice it and see the trailer as a whole entity, not a Roger Rabbit merging. It's like the Mole in Austin Powers...I'm trying not to notice it, but it's just jumping right out at me. The Gollum character in Two Towers was amazing, however at no time did I ever forget the character was animated. The harry potter elf was just as good, and again, animated. Chunks of Spiderman sucked, but some of it was great (the razor bat/burning building sequence works for me). For some reason, the CG hulk draws me out of the moment in the trailer (maybe because I'm looking for it and things that can't exist in reality draw more scrutiny). Some of it looks pretty good, some looks pretty bad (giant Scorpion-Rock bad). Maybe it'll look great on the big screen, or maybe I won't notice it due to (hopefully) great story. They'll get my money regardless. It's funny though, growing up I never had that much of a problem with the clay stop motion Harryhausen type stuff (even though it's not as "polished" as the cgi stuff).
Harryhausen was a god by GypsyTRobot	Apr 21st, 2003 11:46:12 PM
or is a god, is he still alive? His creations had character and soul, not to mention actual 3 dimensions. I can't walk by a metal statue without thinking of the metal giant from Jason and the Argonauts - my ears strain to hear the sound of moving metal. Remember the ankle plug! Peace out.
What's so bad about the CGI? by joeblowe	Apr 22nd, 2003 12:41:07 AM
The only scene I thought had bad CGI was him throwing the tank. The rest looked like a big figurine like most people said, but how else are they supposed to do it. I thought the rest of it looked pretty good.
does quicktime still suck? by Lelon	Apr 22nd, 2003 12:52:19 AM
yes, yes it does.
The trailer did what it needed to do, and yes, ok, I'm actually by empyreal0	Apr 22nd, 2003 12:58:05 AM
Overall, yes, I'm impressed. That doesn't mean I don't have a few minor gripes. Hulk's face does look a little doughy, yes, but you people have absolutely NO idea what you're asking to make the detail sharper. Sure the eyes don't look 100% real, but guess what, the eyes are the hardest thing to make real unless you pull a WETA and use a real actor for reference. Those don't bother me so much sicne I KNOW what we're asking of the artists. Personally, my biggest CGI gripe as an artist is what still looks like a very lazy and extremely cartoony texture job. Where are all the dark veins pressed to the surface? The fine lines and wrinkles? Moles and freckles? Scratches? Body hair? Maybe I'll catch the detail on the big screen. Oh, but the animation... it's beautiful. Not sure how much is mo-cap, but I'm loving his movement. Would have liked to see more rippling/sliding movement in those muscles, but hey, that's just me. But as far as storytelling goes, I'm liking the direction this is taking. The beginning of that trailer is brilliant, with some very excellent writing (about the incredibly vivid dream). So I like the story. And the Hulk is a serious force to be reckoned with from the looks of this. So I'm impressed, and a little bit excited. In short, the trailer did what it needed to do. I'm going to see Hulk this summer.
MIXED FEELINGS by RogueElement	Apr 22nd, 2003 12:58:52 AM
I think Ang Lee will craft a real and compelling story around this comic book character that will make up for its other defiencies. By "other deficiencies" I mean the CGI. People who say it's great are like parents of an ugly child who cannot see the truth for what it is. I mean, come on! The Hulk looked like a 2 year old throwing a temper tantrum when he splashed in the water. The movement is unrealistic, his size is bizarre and his facial expressions are limited. But enough about Mr. Bana. I'll see it - but I'm definitely not wet.
I dunno, I'm not feeling it... by Castor777	Apr 22nd, 2003 01:16:39 AM
I'm glad everyone else seems head over heals with anticipation for Hulk, but I'm questioning if I'll even bother seeing it. For starters, I didn't read the comic book and am not too familiar with the Hulk much at all (ok well I did go on the Hulk ride at Universal Studios: Islands of Adventure). Secondly, yes the CGI is indeed pretty impressive so I won't bother pretending it's not. The only problem that anyone can say involving the CGI is from the source material. Folks, this is a fucking green monster - cut the shit with saying it doesn't look realistic. How else would you make this thing look so realistic when, again, IT'S FUCKIN GREEN! But good CGI or not good CGI - the problem I have with it is that this movie looks so damn cheesy. The setup in the trailer had me going but once when I see the dude spin a tank and toss it way up into the air I just can't suspend my disbelief enough. For fans of the comicbook that may be pretty cool to them but I have no attachment to that kinda stuff. I hope for all of you excited for seeing this that it lives up to your expectations but I'll pass (yes, even after all the glowing reviews that Harry posts on this site - I already fell for that with Daredevil and there ain't no fuckin way I'll make the same mistake again).
Freaking haughty crybabies by Acappellaman	Apr 22nd, 2003 01:28:55 AM
How in the world can anybody possibly be so damn critical of the CGI in this trailer??? I have not seen better humanoid CGI modeling and animation (the combination of both is the kicker) in any movie. Ever. Gollum does not compare to this. Not even close. Anybody bitching about the quality is just doing it to get a rise out of the normal folk in here. I bet you all steal suckers from children when you lollygag onto the streets too. Sick bastards. The Hulk is going to rock. I have complete confidence in this movie now. And Jennifer Connelly is NOT bony. She's looking pretty damn fine to me.
This movie looks awesome! I wish Daredevil had been done with th by Tarl_Cabot	Apr 22nd, 2003 01:49:41 AM
Daredevil sucked. Ben Affleck sucked.The script sucked.That movie was piss poor and it sucks because that's my favorite Comic character but This Hulk movie will be good.Ang Lee can play ball and Eric Bana is a legitimate movie star of the future not some overhyped celebrity,J-lo's bootie tapping, mediocre acting insipid pretty boy like Ben Affleck! Fuck!

This movie is going to be amazing by Ribbons	Apr 22nd, 2003 01:54:54 AM
It's funny how there are barely any negative remarks concerning the film's prospects on this talkback. Shades of Ang Lee in the trailer alone; it actually seemed kind of unsettling. I have no doubt in my mind that this movie is going to be a classic. And even if the CGI doesn't blend seamlessly, it's an incredible achievement.
Oh yeah, and NO SEQUELS!!! I don't give a shit if this film make by Ribbons	Apr 22nd, 2003 02:02:50 AM
One story. No sequels. 'Nuff said.
Hey bitch tits, how bout spreading the love for us lowly dial-up by Son Of Batboy	Apr 22nd, 2003 02:03:30 AM
A direct link to the main page would have been nice. Not everyone has a T3 line in their house for pete's sake. In any case I started the dowload on the medium rez version, took a nap and a shower then came back to view the trailer as it was finishing. Looks way better than that Super Bowl spot. Some really good looking moments. Hulk Dogs!!!! Shit YEAH!!! Hulk hanging from the helicoptor, damn sweet!!! Grizzled bearded Nick Nolte!!! HULK jumping!!!! PURPLE PANTS!!!!! Man, I hope this is as good as it looks.
HULK is sexiest tomboy beanpole on PLANET!!! KWA-DOOOMMM!!! by DarkHawke	Apr 22nd, 2003 02:47:17 AM
Okay, I'll give it this: one nifty trailer, there! The Hulk looks better, if not entirely "natural." Much as with some of Spidey's wall-crawling, even though it's something entirely unnatural and not something any of us have seen, we as humans know instinctively when a motion that a "human" makes is wrong. Still, the jury remains out since no given shot of the Hulk lasted more than a second. Sure, I'm as jazzed about the tank hammer throw and the classic Hulk bound as any comic fanboy, but I need to see more to judge how good the CGI is. What has me FAR more worried is the rest of the movie. Dunno, maybe I'm just lovin' "48 Hours" too much, but shouldn't Nolte be General Ross? Seems much more the big ol' blustering S.O.B. type that Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross is/was in the comic books, while Sam Elliot seems more the type for the introspective, fucked-up type they seem to be writing DAVID Banner as. And why deviate so far from the classic origin? Spider-Man and Daredevil hewed very close to canon and benefited greatly because of it. Is Ang "Chick Flick" Lee afraid of The Bomb? I agree with the other poster's comment that he felt uninvolved and unmoved by CTHD, and that's what concerns me most about the non-special effects aspects of "Hulk." As with the CGI, hard to get a good feel from the trailer, but it seems awfully sterile for all that's supposed to be going on vis a vis the Hulk! That said, I am looking forward to seeing this (and I have to since I sling comics for a living) thant I was before. Not that I'd blow off X2 or the Matrix to see it, but I'm at least looking forward to it now!
Those of you bitching about the effects are spoiled little child by St.Buggering	Apr 22nd, 2003 02:50:50 AM
It's a good thing you all didn't grow up in the era of stop-motion. We learned to appreciate a good film without bitching about every effect that didn't look completely real. It's called suspension of disbelief. Did the AT-AT's look completely real? Did Yoda? Thank god you people weren't around in 1980. All I can say is, if you watched that trailer and are still whining, you are no fan of this character, and no Hulk movie was ever going to reach you; you decided to hate it a long time ago.

well well by darthgontron	Apr 22nd, 2003 04:27:47 AM
Comic book movie or not, the Hulk does look extremely cartoonish. And I know that CG can be done better than that. I beleived gollumn's presence far more that I do the hulk's. That's not to say tha the movie will be bad, in fact i'm sure it will be quite good. It's just that when the movie is purportedly trying to emphasize the human emotional side of the story, obstacles to beleivability are more important because we need to empathize with the characters more. I think it's funny that in the initial stages of development of lord of the rings, george Lucas moked Weta, saying that they wouldn't be able to do it. Sorry George Weta owns ILM.

From the look of this trailer (which, may I add, knocks ALL the other 'Summer blockbusters' into a cocked-hat), Jackson's going to have to rethink his current schedule. I don't know about you but never, for one moment, did it enter my mind that Ang Lee would fuck this one up. The dreams of childhood captured on film. Purple pants too! Go get 'em Ang!

Best CGI creature ever was... by Human Tornado	Apr 22nd, 2003 06:46:03 AM

Absolutely Converted by Mr. Smegma	Apr 22nd, 2003 07:26:50 AM
I had serious doubts about this project -- but unless this trailer is one of the greatest fraud and con jobs in history -- they've just been totally erased. The CGI is a big part of that (more on that in a sec) but the pacing, focus, and intensity of the film seems to be spot on. Jennifer Connelly looks like she is ready to fight the world and die to save her man, and if that isn't sexy as fuck, you pud whackers are hopeless. Bana just oozes deep and troubled, the script will still have to give us understandable motivations along the way, but if it does, watch out. Nolte looks like he'll function perfectly as the crazy old wizard who lurks at the heart of every great fantasy in many guises -- mad scientist being the '50s-60s golden age ver. Here's hoping Lee's fresh eye pulls all these part together. Now, the CGI. The scene with Hulk shaking water off himself is a big fuck you to all the doubters, like me. These guys know they nailed it and are showing off. I watched it 3 or 4 times and it gave me chill each time. It fucking WAS the Hulk.
The Hulk Trailer... by The Night Raven	Apr 22nd, 2003 08:21:29 AM
...was everthing I had hoped for. The script is, reportedley, excellent and in the hands of Ang Lee, we could be in for something really special. Something with depth and wit. something that transcends the source material. To date the best 'Superhero' adaptation remains Richard Donner's 'Superman'and the best 'Superhero' film is 'Unbreakable'. The Hulk has the potential to become both. I can't wait to see this on the big screen. I'm nine again.

I remember now... It's based on a comic book! by White_Noise	Apr 22nd, 2003 09:36:50 AM
My first few looks at the Hulk in screen shots and early previews left me thinking that I must be 'Up in the valley of the...' well, you know. Anyway, in the context of this trailer I think I get the tone Lee is trying to set. Yes, it is based on a comic book. Instead of going for the 'hyper-real take me seriously approach' this movie is set in it's own make-believe world. The green guy looked pretty cool moving around through it. CTHD is ridiculous unless you give yourself over to the world it's set in. Lee must be trying to do the same thing here. My optimism is seeping back in!
CHRIST CRAPPIN' CRACKERS!! by K0NY	Apr 22nd, 2003 09:38:06 AM
That scene where the Hulk screams and shakes the water off just blows my jaded fucking mind! He really finally looks like an incarnation of "id;" like a giant baby throwing a tantrum. That trailer was so great it gets me all sad about how empty my wallet will be at the end of this summer of slamtastic cinema. \|\|By the way: I'm just about ready to cry "PLANT!" at all the sloppy fucks whining about this film. It's like the other studios are coming here to discourage us from seeing these wicked films because they're worried we won't be into checking out "Disney's World Of Swash-Buckling Sailors In Eye-liner" after getting our fix of quality movies. \|\|I say bring on the bang on blockbusters. I'm sneaking in Doritos and shrooms...it's fun for the whole family!
Okay, Okay... I'm Sold. I'll See It. by Van Damned	Apr 22nd, 2003 09:38:50 AM
I guess most of my reservations still stem from the lackluster days of Marvel movies which reeked. Sure, the X-Men was good and Spider-Man too,and what they've done with Blade is pretty cool, but you keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. Daredevil was a bit of a misstep in my opinion, and so the fears come crawling back. I still remember Roger Corman's F.F.; eeeeeeeeee... But I finally enjoyed one of the trailers. This one, to be precise. So with the caution of someone who's been hurt by an insensitive Hollywood before I put the Hulk on my to-watch list with other films this year. God, I hope I'm not disappointed...
CGI haters... by Homer Jay	Apr 22nd, 2003 09:48:25 AM
Perhaps you've never heard of a concept called SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF. Is the Hulk better looking than the cave troll or Gollum? I'm not sure, because I HAVEN'T SEEN THE FUCKING MOVIE YET. After seeing what amounts to maybe 4 minutes of footage, many of you losers have declared "WORST...EFFECTS...EVER." Try to enjoy life rather than tearing things down in a sad attempt to build yourselves up. Move out of your parent's basement and get laid. God, I hate you assholes.
rule 1: torture the heroine by Hud	Apr 22nd, 2003 09:56:56 AM
since i've seen two trailers and three still photographs, I feel perfectly competent to judge this movie. But here's my thing: why has Ang Lee encouraged Jennifer Connelly to play her character as a Bronte heroine, all faint with lovesickness? I suppose he's pitched all the nonaction scenes in the same tone of barely speakable regrets and pang-of-love-in-torment, but movies like that make me wish for stronger personalities to offset all that emotional delicacy. I guess Sam Elliott will be an adequately butch substitute for someone with some moxie, but boy, do I miss the Howard Hawks heroines; they were nobody's wet-eyed nursemaids.
To people bashing the CGI... by banshee	Apr 22nd, 2003 09:59:17 AM
let me tell you something, Gollum didn't look any more "real" than Yoda or Watto or the Hulk. It was the performance that Andy S gave that made the character so great. And the jury's still out on how good the Hulk's "acting" is. So quit your bitching and enjoy the movie.

After repeated viewings of this trailer, I'm able to come to only one conclusion....Corey Feldman/Eric Bana is the star of this movie. Sure maybe he changed his name to get better parts, but it's him I swear! I am now in the process of looking for Corey Haim, there was a familiar looking Hulk dog in there somewhere...
Hulk Haters and Snobby Fan Boys by PlasmaOrb	Apr 22nd, 2003 10:55:57 AM
I think its sad how people can talk crap about a film and they have only seen 2 minutes of a film, but there are some movies that you only need 2 minutes to see its a big steaming pile of horse dung. People who are dissing the CGI cause its not up to their standards... id like to see them make something better, but this is the first human like character that has been made like this. Spiderman doesnt count, cause he was covered in a costume, didnt have skin or hair or muscles. I think we all need to see this film in its full glory before we make any harsh judgements. As far as what someone said about making $190 million, its hard to say what it will do this summer, cause there is alot of competition out there in the July time slot. I have a feeling it will barely make over $100 million. T3 will bomb also.

Give me a break! by jokrsmile	Apr 22nd, 2003 02:24:52 PM
I have been reading feedback not only from this site, but from others as well since this trailer hit. Approximately 80% of it has been positive. Now I for one love the entire look of the HULK and the new trailer. I also respect anyones opinion that differs with mine, as long as it is intelligent and has merit. Most of the ney-sayers however, couldn't come up with an intelligent argument if came up and bit them in the ass!!! Most of the people here obviously haven't picked up a HULK comic in some time. If they had they would know the HULK is drawn as a Goliath amoung men. He's suppose to be huge!! He's written as possibly the strongest human to ever walk the planet. Ang Lee has nailed the look and feel of the comic from what I've seen so far. The scene where the HULK has escaped from the capsule and is in a rage is one of the best CG scenes I've ever witnessed. To date Golum is the best CG character I've seen on the big screen, and I honestly think the HULK will be just as good or better. As for the morons who keep posting shit like "he looks like Shrek", "he's too big", or one of my favorites "CG Yoda is the best", please get an eye exam, and think before you speak. The HULK is going to be an awesome flick all around. My prediction is that it will come in 3rd or 4th in the summer movie race. Behind Return of the King, the Matrix flixs and/or X2. The Hulk will fit nicely in there somewhere.

Terrible dialogue and even worse acting by Ivan_Mtl	Apr 22nd, 2003 05:29:01 PM
Wow. I think I've seen coffee tables deliver lines with more emotion than Eric Bana. Maybe it's the dialogue, but those lines and their delivery were hard to listen to - and that's including the rest of the cast. And to think I was worried about the special effects work on the Hulk. Hopefully this film will have enough action sequences to compensate for the awkward moments of "acting".
Audience bitching has less to do with the advance of digital eff by Lobanhaki	Apr 22nd, 2003 05:54:48 PM
...than the accumulation of experience and the exponential increase in computing power. Yes, people demand better effects, but that does nothing until the initiative comes from the filmmakers. I guess I would say that you have certain people who want better out of the effects, and they drive the engines of ingenuity (to shamelessly steal from the title of a local NPR show) from which comes realistic CGI like Hulk, Gollum, and the Characters of the recent Star Wars movies. Of course, if your filmmaker doesn't care, and just wants his effects on time...
thank you AngoraSweater by jokrsmile	Apr 22nd, 2003 06:11:53 PM
You made my point in many ways, and I thank you. First off let me say that I've read a coulple of your posts, and I disagree with everything you've said. But you've backed up your points with well thought out dialog. Thank you for that. I always enjoy a good debate on subjects that are of interest to me. That being said, here another point you may have made for me. The HULK looks great, and having him look like he does in the comics is awesome. Every "normal" person drawn in HULK comics are dwarfed by the HULK. The HULK can wrap his hand around a persons' waist for example which shows just how huge he is. To pull this off in the movie is vital, and I believe Ang Lee has done a great job of showing the HULK this way. I don't believe that the tricks used in LOTR would work for this movie. The HULK needs to be out of proportion, he needs to have the extra mass that only CG can pull off. An actor in make-up using forced perspective shots would do an injustice to the character. I don't know if posters such as yourself have picked up a comic lately, but I highly recommed you do. This is not the HULK from the TV series, thank god!! I firmly believe one reason for some peoples problems with the HULK is that nothing like the HULK has been seen on film. Sure some will say "what about Golum or the Dinosaurs from JP?" My answer is that those CG character have very little or no frame of reference for comparison. I for one had to see The Two Towers Twice for the Golum effects to sink in. And I have never seen a Dinosaur, so I had no expectations on how they should look or move. The HULK however is a human taken to the extreme and I think that's where people are having trouble. The CG looks great to me. The HULK rivals Golum in every way. This movie is going to kick ass.

sorry to correct you Human Tornado...... by youareacrybaby	Apr 22nd, 2003 10:40:11 PM
S1m0ne cannot be called "the best CGI character to date" because she potrayed by an actual actress named Rachel Roberts. Sure she may have been embellished by CGI effects but she does not in any way qualify as a CGI character. As for all the Daredevil bashing, while it may not have been the best comic adaptation, it was by far, not the worst. Had the bar not been set so high by films like X-Men and Spider-Man, and was actually released before these films, I believe that Daredevil would have been seen in another light. One more thing, c'mon guys, give up on the "sexiest tomboy beanpole", "electric boogaloos", "Bruce Cambell for everything", "Hulk Hogan as..", and my least favorite, "I'm first". You guys wore those half jokes down to nothing. Come up with something new, I challenge you! Back to The Hulk. I plan on giving this film the benefit of the doubt and entering the theater with an open mind, as all films should be seen. By the way, I AM NOT A PLANT. No really I'm not.

CGI Detail by fezmariewhatley	Apr 22nd, 2003 11:41:34 PM
I think that, for the people who are concerned about the Hulk looking too cartoonish, you have to take into account the fact that you're seeing it on a video monitor. You lose a ton of detail and even a little detail can make or break the believability of the image. I'm waiting to see it in the theater before I make up my mind as to how good the CGI is. Then again, I'm just a simple girl from the Bronx, so I may not know what I'm talking about.
He IS the hulk by Rcamacho2278	Apr 23rd, 2003 01:46:54 AM

Leave it to Ang Lee and James Schamus... by Neil MacAuley	Apr 23rd, 2003 02:52:03 AM
to put NO MAKEUP on Jennifer Connelly. And to tell her to lose 25 pounds so she's a beanpole (no, not that beanpole) and her boobs are smaller than any heterosexual movie fan would want them to be. I mean, of course she still looks gorgeous with no makeup and a jean jacket on, but wouldn't you prefer her in a wet top and thong, about 20 pounds heavier with most of it landing in her boobage? Yeah, so would I. But then that oscar she won pretty much ensures she'll never do another gratuitous nudity or even remotely sexual role. Cripes. Oh, and did the Hulk have a father in the original comic? And a weird, hippie one at that? Don't remember that.
Hulk qualifies as a major discovery!!!! by Bong	Apr 23rd, 2003 03:19:11 AM

It's funny how some of you try and defend the CGI because "its' by chillzatl	Apr 23rd, 2003 08:12:35 AM
I mean c'mon people. get your heads out of the sand. No CGI ever looks 100% real. But looking 100% real and looking real enough that you can comfortably fall into a supposedly serious movie are two different things. The hulk stands out like a turd in a punch-bowl. He looks like a lime green inflatable doll. The shots of him breaking out of that lab/tank thing, the entire shot looks like a video game. Then they cut to the other scenes in that room with only real people and the room DOES NOT look fake. They could have made him look "more realistic". Sure he's a comic book monster. But they could have given him the rawness and edge to be a bit scary and intimidating. It's like they are expecting his size alone to be intimidating to moviegoers. Sure he's big, but he looks like a toy. There has to be some consistancy in it and here, there is not. All the scenes of him jumping around and interacting with poeple, he looks soooo damn fake. To ILM's credit, the scenes of him at night look very good. Much better than the daytime scenes. But it's going to be hard to stop seeing this horribly plasticy, CGI Hulk long enough to enjoy what looks to be a very well written, well played movie.

OK that trailer kix some serious ass. To all those that think the HULK looks to CGI, all I have to say is this. If you were just walkin down the street and saw this 15foot green monster trashing everything in its sight I really don't think many of you would think it was real. It would be too surreal. The only way we could explain this to ourselves would be to say that it's not real. And remember it's a frickin comic book movie.

Look, I'm a day-to-day Ain't It Cooler and I hop over to the chat from time to time (You might know me as Drexl) but I don't write for these talkbacks very often. For one, I think they're overpopulated by stupid morons with too much spare time on their hands. "Boohoo, Harry's a sell-out", "Plant!", "Hulk Hogan", "Yoda vs. Gollum". Fuck you all!! That said, I'm gonna give this Hulk thing the benefit of the doubt. It's definitely not the most anticipated movie of the summer in my book (Hell, X2 even beats both Matrix flicks) but I hope Ang Lee and James Schamus pull this off. These guys know how to make movies so I have hope. And about that CGI... well, it's CGI... I started looking forward to Hulk the moment I saw him shaking that water. Pretty impressive stuff. Mind you, I know shit 'bout the Hulk.. It's just a guy getting green 'n mean ain't it?! Worst-case scenario: we get a campy Mummy effectstravaganza (doubt it though) but we might see a spectacular action - character driven comic book based picture about what drives a man to rage. So shut the fuck up and stop bashing movies before you've seen them. Jerk offs! Now, I gotta go fetch me some ho's!

While I agree that the Hulk CGI could look a little more polished, I though the trailer was great. We really do have to amend what we expect out of CGI effects in the following sense. No level of CGI can ever make something that is fundamentally unreal look believable. The human mind is hardwired with the mathemetics of real-world physics even when we are unaware of it. The dinos in Jurassic Park look great precisely because they have the correct biological underpinnings to be that size: massive torsos, legs and feet, and (proportionally) tiny chests, shoulders and heads. A human the size and weight of the Hulk would not even be able to stand, let alone walk and run. Therefore the CGI of such a thing, no matter how photorealistic, is going to "look" phony to a large degree. Andre the giant was probably the largest humans of all time when one is speaking of height and weight and just consider how freakish he looked. Just some thoughts.
