THE INCREDIBLE HULK theatrical trailer SMASHES!

Marvel Studios by LUZER	Apr 30th, 2008 02:35:00 PM
seems to be giving a good kick in the ass to the genre
First. by Mostholy	Apr 30th, 2008 02:35:04 PM
Not that it matters. This looks bad.
Or Second. by Mostholy	Apr 30th, 2008 02:35:28 PM
The point stands.
I'm game. by TheLastCleric	Apr 30th, 2008 02:37:02 PM
I liked Ang Lee's vision quite a bit but I'm equally interested to see what Norton and company pull off here.
who? by JLo	Apr 30th, 2008 02:37:22 PM
what!
I want EARS by dopepope	Apr 30th, 2008 02:37:26 PM
on my ABS. Abomination needs his damn ears. http://tinyurl.com/5l6heh
Ang Lee's was great... by ZoeFan	Apr 30th, 2008 02:39:43 PM
I'll reserve judgement on this until I actually see the full length movie.
Better by wildphantom07	Apr 30th, 2008 02:40:45 PM
still not 100% convinced on the CG - but everything else looks pretty good
Ang Lee's was really great... by Mr. Waturi	Apr 30th, 2008 02:40:50 PM
for me to poop on.
Oh yes by Parabolic	Apr 30th, 2008 02:42:23 PM
This trailer is more like. Looks freakin badass.
Hulk SMASH! by Mel Gibsteinberg	Apr 30th, 2008 02:42:35 PM
I am one of the few who actually liked Ang's movie. My problem with it wasn't the weird pseudo-serious vibe, the father/son freudian relationship, or any of that. I also thought ILM did a great job, with one glaring exception. The design of the Hulk. For some ridiculous reason they thought that the Hulk should in some way resemble more of a real man than just a big green brute. Ummm, why? He is The Hulk, WTF did you think this was supposed to be, a hybrid of The Hulk and a Man?
just not buying it yet by palewook	Apr 30th, 2008 02:43:52 PM
will needs lots of solid reviews to convince me to pay to see this. willing to wait a year or so for cable otherwise.
? by the way	Apr 30th, 2008 02:44:15 PM
this movie is missing something.....like a black side-kick like TDK's got Morgan Freeman & Iron Man has Terrence Howard & Speed racer got none cuz he's "racist." Get it?
this movie should be better by captain_kirk	Apr 30th, 2008 02:46:15 PM
This is a very interesting trailer, and I am optimistic. I like the hint of effects to see; Liv Tyler Rocks, Ed actually comes off as meek, so that is a good Banner-ism. As for abomination, it's an interesting theme--become a monster to stop a monster. I'd like to to see it. Also, I was unconvinced upon hearing William Hurt would be Ross, but he could kick some serious tushy.
I liked Ang's.......... by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Apr 30th, 2008 02:46:39 PM
it was epic in a strange cerebral way. I know fucktards that worship Brett Ratner's balls and X3 couldnt quite handle it but who gives a fuck. It was unique and powerful like all of Ang's shit.
Tim Roth = Garth Ennis by cookylamoo	Apr 30th, 2008 02:47:27 PM
"Ey Hulk, Wot say we drop all this smashing and get ourselves a pint."
Still looks crappy to me by Greenleaf1	Apr 30th, 2008 02:47:28 PM
Honestly, after that trailer I don't even know if I'll go see the movie.
ang lee's was really really liberace gay by pcassou	Apr 30th, 2008 02:48:25 PM
Jennifer connolly was the only gpd thing about it
Looks like ass.... by Cagliostro	Apr 30th, 2008 02:49:09 PM
Complete ass. Covered in watery stools full of leafy greens.
"That classic series was pretty goddamn great." by hst666	Apr 30th, 2008 02:50:03 PM
ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS? It was the fugitive with a charcater that turned into a mute stupid monster. I can understand why some people did not like the Ang Lee film, although I did , but it was way more interesting than that series. Have you even watched it since you were 8?
That looks like fun by Abominable Snowcone	Apr 30th, 2008 02:51:08 PM
See hulk smash! Reminder to all that this Saturday is free comic book day. freecomicbookday.com
garbage by verge	Apr 30th, 2008 02:51:35 PM
I'm also someone that really liked Ang Lee's movie. I know there are very few of us, but it really wasn't that bad. This, however, looks wildly mediocre.
CGI looks like shit by Rat Fink	Apr 30th, 2008 02:52:17 PM
the rest of the movie looks alright. I just can't get past the shit look
Cue the piano... by HitchCock'n'Balz	Apr 30th, 2008 02:53:03 PM
and hitch-hike down the road...that's all i need to see
Hulk SMASH by j2talk	Apr 30th, 2008 02:53:16 PM
it looks like what it should be....an entertaining hour and half to two hours of popcorn fun on a quiet afternoon....i cant wait....we get this, Ironman, Indy, X-files, Hellboy, Dark Knight,the Mummy 3, CloneWars ....and StartTrek is on the horizon- too bad it got pushed back....This is one full summer for "geek" films....
Blah. by CGI_Pants	Apr 30th, 2008 02:53:29 PM
Boring. A)I feel like I've already seen this like 5 summers ago. I bet you that the movie-going public feels the same way. This won't make shit for money. 2) Something about military scenes just annoy the hell out of me. If this movie has any momentum at all, it will constantly die to me as soon as the military shows up.
"You know, Hulk, now that I'm a monster too" by cookylamoo	Apr 30th, 2008 02:53:35 PM
"You really look kind of sexy to me. Let's make out"
the worst thing about the marketing of this movie is........ by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Apr 30th, 2008 02:53:37 PM
.......that cheap ass fucking font for THE INCREDIBLE HULK.....fuck me the HULK looks like my 9 year old nephew made that shit with WordArt on Microsoft Word. Who the fuck thought that looked cool? The giant swollen HULK in bright green for Ang's was much cooler.
Hulk Ist Krieg by testricals	Apr 30th, 2008 02:54:32 PM
HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULLL LLLLLLLKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!
I cant wait its gonna rock by Mike_D	Apr 30th, 2008 02:54:41 PM
mark my words
Eh.... by JayWells87	Apr 30th, 2008 02:55:31 PM
This trailer is MUCH better, no doubt, but I still think the Hulk looks a little sketchy. I dunno, maybe the Hulk truly is impossible to capture on screen without looking a little fake? Oh well, they still have a month or two to further polish the effects. I just hope the money Marvel makes off of Iron Man doesn't get torpedoed by their loss on this one. I'll be surprised if this one does well, not for it being good or bad, but just the general public not liking the Hulk very much, especially after what happened a few years ago.
Since I now know the entire plot of the movie.... by Andre the Frog	Apr 30th, 2008 02:57:34 PM
Just let me know if the Hulk wins.
I like the hint of the old Hulk TV series theme at the end by slone13	Apr 30th, 2008 02:57:35 PM
And the CGI looks fine to me. Fuck all y'all who think otherwise.
hellboy and TDK... by HitchCock'n'Balz	Apr 30th, 2008 02:58:19 PM
maybe IronMan...but the rest will be Shite!
This movie will bomb by Rat Fink	Apr 30th, 2008 03:00:52 PM
and that will be the end of Hulk. Until 5 years from now when someone else tries to take a crack at it only to fail miserably.
new hulk by Redmantle	Apr 30th, 2008 03:01:02 PM
I was a fan of Ang Lee's but this one looks like a lot of fun as well. Kick ass!
The incredible boring Hulk by Stollentroll	Apr 30th, 2008 03:01:39 PM
Crap.
ILM doing bad SFX?? by Uli1	Apr 30th, 2008 03:02:12 PM
Don't know what will become of this hulk movie, with bad marketing and all, but just saw Iron Man, and man, Iron "Tony Manero" Man walking away after blowing up the tank still sucks. I didn't expect transformers quality SFX here, but there sure are some pretty weak effects. Has ILM opened a new low budget office or was it just rushed beacause of the opening date?
Cool! by Mezzanine	Apr 30th, 2008 03:02:32 PM
I have been underwhelmed by the promotional material for this movie, to the point of sometimes forgetting that it was coming out this summer. But goddamn, this trailer has me looking to hulk out! I'll be there!
fuck Ang Lee by McDee	Apr 30th, 2008 03:04:55 PM
the first one sucked ass. This looks cool, I miss the ears on The Abomination, but still, this looks cool. The music at the end of the trailer gave me goosebumps
I am still skeptical by sonofchuckb	Apr 30th, 2008 03:04:57 PM
but I will be there on June 13th, it has to be better than Ang Lee's HULK
Indy looks like ass. by Gatsbys West Egg Omlet	Apr 30th, 2008 03:05:43 PM
this looks fun. i'd much rather see a CG Hulk fight hummers than a 65 year old Ford fight Nazis. and plus, Liv Tyler is all kinds of awesome. She's no Jennifer Connoly(sp?), but she's still all kinds of awesome.
also: Tim Roth is great. by Gatsbys West Egg Omlet	Apr 30th, 2008 03:07:25 PM
at whatever he does.
Hulk Smash Puny Ang Less Adaption! by fiester	Apr 30th, 2008 03:11:00 PM
And anyone who actually liked that piece of shite, please go watch Superman Returns. I'm sure you'll freakin' love it.
CGI does look suspect by Hoots Mon	Apr 30th, 2008 03:11:30 PM
Hulk does not look as good as Ang Lee's version, which I have to say is hugely underrated. Not impressed with this trailer or Norton in the slightest.
Its nice to see... by The Bandit	Apr 30th, 2008 03:12:23 PM
Ang's Hulk get some love. It was good. Minus poodles. One thing people dont give any love to was the CG in the first Hulk, it was great. I've said it before, theres some really great talent in this new Hulk but we're not going to see a well acted human drama, we wanna the Hulk! A giant green man -and he just doesnt look that good. Everytime I see him it takes me right out of it. Abomonitaion looks better, more believable, more 'realistic' (for lack of a better word) on screen. I think this Hulk just looks cheap and kinda stupid. Hope I'm wrong, love to see a great Hulk flick.
oh hell yea by munkie loco	Apr 30th, 2008 03:12:48 PM
hulk will kick ass! fuck what everyone else says.
what made hulk so mad at those poor cars? by Meatbiscuit	Apr 30th, 2008 03:13:39 PM
2 hours of car smashing? boring. and whats with all the worried looks of the hot chick? dont hold the badass back!
Is it really that hard to make a realistic looking CGI Hulk? by rev_skarekroe	Apr 30th, 2008 03:14:29 PM
I'm not being snarky here, I'm asking in all seriousness. Why is it so hard to make a Hulk that looks like he exists in the same universe as the human characters surrounding him?
No ears on Abomination? Who cares! by CarmillaVonDoom	Apr 30th, 2008 03:14:44 PM
A new bar has been set for total geek loser-dom. Seriously, if you care about that you are beyond hope.
hst666 by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Apr 30th, 2008 03:15:42 PM
I agree-- the classic series was absolute fucking shit. It was a cross between The Fugitive and Highway To Heaven-- a dude just driving around small town to small town helping random people who were robbed by local thugs or whatever. He only turned into The Hulk to break down a door or something stupid. Fucking pointless. And I hated how the whole thing was in the hills in broad daylight.....all shot around Santa Clarita, CA if you know it. About 35 minutes north of L.A.

Ang Lee's Hulk... by Ageoffroyi	Apr 30th, 2008 03:18:53 PM
Was a truly great flick. I just saw it again this past weekend at Ebertfest with Lee himself in attendance. He's proud of the film and rightly so. I don't understand the need for Norton's Hulk, though I'm sure it will be great in it's own right-Norton's never let me down. The problem that I have with critics of Lee's Hulk is this: take the criticisms of any truly bad superhero movie i.e. Batman & Robin-it was poorly acted, not dark enough, not intelligent enough, too many rubber nipples, and counter it with Lee's Hulk, which is well acted, somewhat dark and moody, intelligent, and if anything had too few nipples. It was the Hulk all the critics would have said they'd wanted until they actually saw it, and decided that deep down, they just wanted HULK SMASH-explosion-HULK SMASH. That's just my opinion, I could be wrong, could just be blinded by my love of Jennifer Connelly.
Well... by The-Duke-of-New-York	Apr 30th, 2008 03:19:05 PM
The Hulk is enormous and green. The mere fact of that makes it impossible for him to look real, the most one can hope for is for him to look like a practical effect, like Davy Jones' beard did at times. One of the big problems is that the Hulk is daylight character, which is merciless when it comes to CGI showing holes. Anyway. I really liked Ang Lee's Hulk, and I'm sure I'll like this movie in a totally different way.
I just realized by Richard Richard Mayhew	Apr 30th, 2008 03:19:25 PM
I just realized, literally, just a second ago, that all of you on these talk backs are just gigantic fucking assholes. All of you, you're just a bunch of pricks that use this place as a sounding board because no one anywhere else will listen to you.
by jaylerd	Apr 30th, 2008 03:21:17 PM
god dammit harry, read a book on proper grammar already. using dashes ever other sentence, ellipses up the ass, commas and breaks where commas and break ought not to be! i can't take it anymore O_O
Ang Lee's HULK is fantastic. by Kurzinski Valentine	Apr 30th, 2008 03:21:57 PM
The same people who bitch and moan about lack of character development and interesting storytelling finally get it in a fun, action-packed movie featuring a complicated protagonist who NEEDS all this development, and then they cry that it was "gay" and "boring". Do the Ang Lee Hulk-haters automatically = BayTransformers fans? SEEMS SO. Either way, remember this is directed by the fucking tool who made THE TRANSPORTER.
BraneRobot by erichaislar	Apr 30th, 2008 03:23:02 PM
um at the ed of the trailer it says screenplay by zak penn and edward norton.
YETI WATCH by Yeti	Apr 30th, 2008 03:24:11 PM
I'll go see this with an open mind.
Blah by Harry Bolzonnia	Apr 30th, 2008 03:27:06 PM
Yuo know why doesnt excite me? Becuase it looks like every every other modern big budget movie, a goddamn video game. You want to watch a great fight between two giants, watch the end of aliens.
Looks great!! by Col. Tigh-Fighter	Apr 30th, 2008 03:27:45 PM
Yup, officially pysched for this now
yup, beyond hope. by dopepope	Apr 30th, 2008 03:28:17 PM
That's me. Thank God you were here to classify me. I'd be hopeless with out you.
God, you people can moan about CGI!!!! by CeejayNightwing	Apr 30th, 2008 03:28:21 PM
In 1977 the Star Wars aliens looked like men in suits and the ships looked like plastic model kits. Did it ruin the movie? HELL NO! So quit over-scrutinizing the damn trailer FX because that's what they are, FX rendered for the trailer! The final movie will have finalized rendering of the Hulk and he'll look as good as he needs to be while delivering his kick as demolition performances. Is it so hard to put down the damn Star Trek Tri-corder for one second and just enjoy the movie on a whole without waving the white flag for every CGI shot you can distinguish? If we all did this for every man in a suit, every blue-screen, every matte painting and every optical effect we saw in the movies we watched as kids then we'd never enjoy the magic of cinema beyond a perfect production! Get off your damn high horses!
Looks like they don't 'deliver' the Hulk this time either by BenBraddock	Apr 30th, 2008 03:28:26 PM
Wow, he looks horrible. Very poor, sorry guys. It's kind of a shame, if this film (and certain others like it) were to be made in say, another 10-15 years time, then the technology might be in place to do them properly, but we're just not there yet for realistic semi-human characters like the Hulk. This looks like a step backwards, actually. He looks 'drawn' to put it crudely. Ang's Hulk was better, IMHO.
lee's hulked sucked. that is all by BMacSmith	Apr 30th, 2008 03:28:36 PM

I'm reserving judgement. by Underoos Hero	Apr 30th, 2008 03:28:48 PM
I would really like for this to be entertaining. I am iffy still about this second trailer. Oh well I appreciate the hard work that it takes to go into these things anyway. We'll just have to see. Good luck with that.
Richard Richard Mayhew by Quin the Eskimo	Apr 30th, 2008 03:28:59 PM
I had that same epiphany yesterday.
Ang Lee's Hulk by Harry Bolzonnia	Apr 30th, 2008 03:29:14 PM
Character development and dramatic elements in any film is worthless if the acting and writing and directing of said elements is shitty. THe hulk was the most boring flattest movie I have ever seen. And mutant poodles? How fucking gay can you get?
Hulk look like stupid I Am Legend bad guy! by sevadro	Apr 30th, 2008 03:29:30 PM
Fucking Mummy face! I hate that fake ass fucking skin texturing! I have a Hulk screen saver up and his skin looks awesomely shiny. So what happened? I was sure they would improve from the last trailer but this kept me wanting. What don't you understand about organic material and reflecting light? Better still be working on those texture effects, Letterier - or it's back to Transporter 3 (straight to DVD) for you!
Oh, and Ang Lee's Hulk was the Ass that took the shit. by Underoos Hero	Apr 30th, 2008 03:29:44 PM

I'm just not sure this looks that BIG by barnaby jones	Apr 30th, 2008 03:31:51 PM
compared to the other flicks this summer, Hulk seems to be lacking in spectical. Still looks pretty good though.
Villian should have been the Leader. by mrfan	Apr 30th, 2008 03:32:42 PM
Have someone go against the Hulk's brute strength with an incredible intellect. Always wanted to see that.
This Actually Looks Pretty Cool by LaserPants	Apr 30th, 2008 03:33:23 PM
I liked Ang Lee's Hulk too. It just needed more smash, and less 'wah.' You have to strike a balance between smash and wah, with Hulk, it would be better to err on the side of too much smash, and not enough wah than the other way around.
Man on Fire music? by sevadro	Apr 30th, 2008 03:33:39 PM
I'm trying to get into the trailer and the asshole editor is throwing me off in the first few seconds! Use your own score jerkoff!
Don't need to watch it to know how shitty it looks. by Nate Champion	Apr 30th, 2008 03:33:56 PM
The question is not whether or not Norton wrote this movie... the question is why he would want to have anything to do with this piece of shit. Fuck Marvel and fuck this bullshit, there was a Hulk movie five years ago and that was enough. I don't need to pay twice to see the same fucking shit.
R R Mayhew, by Gatsbys West Egg Omlet	Apr 30th, 2008 03:35:50 PM
for the most part you are correct, sir. BUT THAT NEWS HAS BEEN AROUND FOR WEEKS! OLD NEWS! SUPERHEROHYPE HAD THAT STORY LAST WEEK!
I drink your Gamma Rays SSLLLLLUUURRRPPP! I drink 'em up! by Piltdown Joey	Apr 30th, 2008 03:36:33 PM

Wow by flickchick85	Apr 30th, 2008 03:36:33 PM
I'm not a fan of the Ang Lee version, but it LOOKED so much better than this does.
hey Nate, by Gatsbys West Egg Omlet	Apr 30th, 2008 03:37:51 PM
calm down, dude.
Looks much better than the first one, BUT.... by Zandunga	Apr 30th, 2008 03:39:40 PM
....still suffers from a major, major problem. While we see a little more of Banner and the character dynamics, and while it certainly looks far better than Ang Lee's version, the HULK STILL LOOKS FAKE. And by fake, I mean CGI crapola; he doesn't look the slightest bit real, and thus damages the whole intended effect. It's enough to kill a potentially solid movie: it pulls you out, looks laughable, doesn't carry any weight or drama in the creature. Hopefully, it's because the effects aren't finished, but I doubt that - the monster doesn't look anything like a breathing creature made out of flesh. Whatever special effects company was hired - yeesh, bad move. Because Peter Jackson has proven that it can indeed be done in some realistic measure...
you people for the most part are winey cunts... by JeanLuc Dickhard	Apr 30th, 2008 03:41:11 PM
relax and enjoy a summer movie..... i bet the people that complain the most are the ones first in line to see it .....
I'm still not on board by GregoryHarbin	Apr 30th, 2008 03:41:17 PM
Even though they're not completely throwing out the Lee continuity (as was first reported), I'm still not feeling this. I've now seen both of the action setpieces, and neither looks terribly compelling. Maybe a rental, or if I'm bored.
HULLLLLLLLLLKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!! by Dreadlock Holmes	Apr 30th, 2008 03:41:19 PM
Eat bitches! As far as marvel films go, this one may be the G.O.A.T!
"Is that all you got?" by Lord Haw Haw	Apr 30th, 2008 03:42:22 PM
The part where Hulk kicks Tim Roth into the next county triggered something that's been bothering me for a while: how are normal humans able to survive the same beatdown a movie monster gives to, say, a reinforced steel door? Think of all the times you've witnessed cinematic feats of gargantuan strength by some evil beastie. Now think of all the times you've witnessed the (not super) hero getting an industrial-grade bitchslap from the same beastie. Does he fall to the earth in a blob-like puddle because every single bone in his body has just been sundered? Of course not. He rises defiantly, grimaces, wipes the dribble of blood from his mouth and says something like, um, "Is that all you got?" Just sayin'...
CeejayNightwing... by rev_skarekroe	Apr 30th, 2008 03:45:47 PM
...every time a trailer comes out with less than stellar CG effects, someone says exactly what you did - it's the effects for the trailer! It will look better in the finished film! Guess what? It never does.
Lord Haw Haw by Violet Grey	Apr 30th, 2008 03:45:52 PM
Perhaps Hulk was sub-consciously holding back just enough as to not kill the poor dumb bastard. he is, after all, a "hero", is he not? I think that's the problem I have with these Hulk flicks - Hulk is not a "hero" character. He's a beast, a creature, a thing! Even in the funny pages, the more they try to make Hulk a "good guy" character, the less interesting he is.
Sorry by godhelpus	Apr 30th, 2008 03:45:54 PM
This looks second-rate. The Hulk just looks absolutely artificial, perhaps even more so than in the Ang Lee version. The inclusion of the TV show is a good nod, but why can't we have something new? At the very least, that's what Lee's Hulk offered not to say that movie was successful either. This did not get me psyched at all.
LOOKS LIKE A SEQUEL TO ME by Rufferto	Apr 30th, 2008 03:47:35 PM
Nothing about besides the recast says to me otherwise. Hulk still does not speak. I SEE no Gamma bomb! I see a poorly delivered scene with a guy badly acting that he is not afraid of the Hulk though. I did however hear something that sounded like the sad theme from the old show which was the only thing that was good about that overrated tv drama. SO ill give them credit for that much.
this looks bad by Kloipy	Apr 30th, 2008 03:48:07 PM

Lord Haw Haw by rev_skarekroe	Apr 30th, 2008 03:51:21 PM
I assume that Blonsky's transformation into The Abomination is a slower process than the Banner's transformation into the Hulk. I'm guessing the Blonsky that gets kicked is in a sort of Doc Sampson semi-Hulked out state. Of course, I could be way off.
shot in the snow by Silverglade	Apr 30th, 2008 03:51:46 PM
That shot of someone walking alone in the snow reminded me instantly of Bale climbing the mountain in BB. That is not a bad thing but maybe I need to get my ass out more.
I will see it with no expectations... by SoylentMean	Apr 30th, 2008 03:51:53 PM
Except to be entertained! Way better trailer than what we saw before. But will there be Slurpee cups?
Big fun. by Devil'sOwn	Apr 30th, 2008 03:51:59 PM
Looks to be a blast. Ang Lee's HULK was okay. I mean, I'll watch it if there's nothing else on. It kinda felt like a mashup of an overanalyzed origin story, and some stuff the sfx guys thought would be cool. The tv show was alright, like, when I was a kid. Now, I couldn't bear to watch it. Hopefully, they won't borrow too liberally from it. I know that's the version a lot of people are familiar with, but damn. This time, we'll have to hope they don't get too carried away with the action to make it appeal to Joe Lunchbox. Y'know, I never realized so many CGI experts came to this site.
Hulk's not a hero by greyspecter	Apr 30th, 2008 03:52:51 PM
He's a raging monster! Why try to make him into Spidey 2.0? That wasn't his appeal, it was the fear losing control, of what's inside you, that made the character great. They got that right, but then they say, "Oh, wait, I can control him enough to kick Mr. Orange's ass, right? Then I'll calm down and go back to being a fugitive or piece of research meat." Huh???

They can't do the classic origin by Violet Grey	Apr 30th, 2008 03:56:36 PM
Trying to use gamma rays, a common form of radiation, as the explanation as to why the Hulk transformation occurs is ridiculous. It just doesn't hold be cause we KNOW that over exposure to gamma rays doesn't cause that. They needed to do something to explain things in a way that made ANY kind of sense.
Now THAT'S a Hulk movie! by Major Hockshtetter	Apr 30th, 2008 03:58:36 PM

Violet Grey by Lord Haw Haw	Apr 30th, 2008 04:02:14 PM
My comment didn't really apply specifically to the new Hulk flick. Seeing as I haven't caught the movie yet, I didn't want to make too many assumptions as to how Tim Roth's character was able to walk away from Hulk giving him Das Boot. Maybe he's wearing randomnameian body armor, maybe he's already gamma 'roided, etc. At any rate, I can't help but think a kick powerful enough to knock you fifty feet backwards is one you're not getting up from anytime soon...
Lord Haw Haw by kevinwillis.net	Apr 30th, 2008 04:02:50 PM
Tim Roth has already benefitted from the super soldier serum (the same stuff that toughened up Captain America). He can can go mano-mano with the Hulk because he's already super-strong and super-durable. He just can't beat him that way, thus the need for the abomination transformation. That being said, this looks pretty fun. But I had high hopes for Ang Lee's Hulk, too, and was extremely disappointed.
The CGI looks pretty bad... by tvspace	Apr 30th, 2008 04:03:21 PM
... I bought into King Kong, etc. They could have done a better job here. Also, he looks too much like Lee's Hulk. Norton is a much better actor than Bana and Roth gets off on bad guys, but the effects are suspect. As for Liv... whatever. She's never done it for me as an actress. Connelly is better.

Not bad by Cobbio	Apr 30th, 2008 04:07:02 PM
I dug the look of this film. Yes, many of you have written The Hulk looks too CG, but, honestly, if the story is more "smash" than "wahhh!" I'm into it. I have a feeling the final rendered effects will be up to par. Plus, that trailer showed Banner trying to escape from the military, to hide. This is a good character development wrinkle we didn't see much of in Ang Lee's film. Hopefully the new Hulk will deliver.
Look great except for the Hulk parts... by Rupee88	Apr 30th, 2008 04:07:24 PM
I hate to say it, but that's the truth. I hope that it's just a bad trailer and the script is pretty good and the directing was decent. But doesn't make me feel good about it at this point.

Ang Lee's Hulk looked better than this one... by Gwai Lo	Apr 30th, 2008 04:10:36 PM
I thought Ang Lee's CG Hulk looked great. The CG dogs not so much, but that last big desert action set piece in the 2003 Hulk was balls out rad. Hulk in plain daylight and he interacted with a million different elements of the scene seamlessly. I think the visual look of the Hulk in this one, 5 years later, is a visible step down. And to the guy who was saying that these are trailer effects, I remember reading an interview with Louis Leterrier where he said that the reason we didn't see a lot of advance promotional material for this is because he wanted to make sure the effects are fully finished before they get out there for the public to see. He thought that was what killed Lee's Hulk, that the Superbowl spot with the unfinished CG put a nail in that film's coffin. I dunno, to me this new Hulk looks really pixelated and dirty, but we'll see how it all goes down in the finished film. Which I'm sure will be a solidly entertaining but fairly stupid piece of summer fluff.
Actually a really good trailer by henrydalton	Apr 30th, 2008 04:10:57 PM

I like the Ang Lee CGI model better by INWOsuxRED	Apr 30th, 2008 04:12:14 PM
although I didn't like the looks of it in the trailers, so hopefully they have enough time to keep tweeking and rendering. I like this trailer better than the frist, and I think I might go see this.

I thought Blonksy was supposed to be on a super soldier type serum when he fights the Hulk, which is why he could survive that kick. Fuck knows.
Ang's CG by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Apr 30th, 2008 04:14:39 PM

I laughed out loud by mach6	Apr 30th, 2008 04:18:19 PM
when I watched this, it's so bad. I like Ed Norton, but he just seems wrong for this part, and the scene where he's hulking out looks like he's straining on a large, corn-laden turd. What really made me laugh was the scene where Hulk front-kicks Roth into the next county, somehow without liquifying every bone in his body. Now, this might play out differently in the movie, but the trailer implies that Roth does not get the serum until after he's kicked by Hulk.

The one thing this has going for it... by shitstorm23	Apr 30th, 2008 04:21:09 PM
Is that I have no hopes of it being any good. I'll probably go see it, just because, but I won't have everyone telling me it's really good (like Ironman) and I won't have the super hype machine (The Dark Knight, not that it matters TDK will kick ass). So, if it is even remotely mediocore, that will be a plus.

Man in Suit/Makeup vs. CGI by ChicagoRonin	Apr 30th, 2008 04:29:55 PM
I think they made a big mistake doing the Hulk as a fully CGI character. I dunno, aside from Gollumn, I can't think of any fully CGI characters in any movie that completely worked for me. It's not just the animation: I just don't get any feeling from the clips that the Hulk is an extension of Edward Norton's Banner. For me, the real proof that they would have been better off with an actor in make-up/prosthetics is how good Ron Perlman comes off in Hellboy. The film was't great, but I thought the onscreen realization of the character was terrific: visually stunning, faithful to the comic (sans hooves), and you got a strong emotional connection through the actor's direct performance.
Abomination had better speak by drewlicious	Apr 30th, 2008 04:30:05 PM
He'd better not be a lumbering simopleton or some rage machine because this movie already has one of those. That's what I like about the Abomination, he still retained his intellect and still gets his ass whooped.

Question on the CGI: by The Dubliner	Apr 30th, 2008 04:38:26 PM
I could give a fuck about this movie but have a question about the CGI... 15 years ago CGI motherfuckers were able to make CGI Dinosaurs believably exist and blend in perfectly with the real world around them and the actors in that real world (except for the Galimimus stampede or however the fuck you spell them - that looks a bit cack now - but the rest of that dino flick is solid!). So how come 15 years since then CGI motherfuckers can't manage to make a big green monster-man look in any way believable? 15 years!!! Gay.
warsinthesun by batmans_pants	Apr 30th, 2008 04:39:55 PM
What shit? Just cos someone else said it, doesn't mean it's not true. And if your going to have a pop at me for unoriginality, count the number of dicks who have all moaned about the cgi. Plus, the quote is an old saying, "ever heard the expression" I'm not claiming it as my own, just reiterating. Jeremiah Wright did not invent it either. I've known that phrase for the last 20 years at least.
I ARE HULK! by manicart1	Apr 30th, 2008 04:40:00 PM
First half of the trailer looks like the Bourne Ultimatum, the second half turns into the second half of I Am Legend. What the fuck, I'm gonna watch it. That close up of the Hulk's face made me wince a bit, but the action sequences look pretty solid-- the filmakers have certainly nailed the Hulk as being an engine of utterly terrifying destruction. It'll probably be good fun if nothing else-- but I want to hear Hulk speak! Hulk are strongest there is! Hulk can has cheezburger!
If you think Lee's Hulk had an ounce of honest pathos... by IndustryKiller!	Apr 30th, 2008 04:41:51 PM
Then quite frankly you are a sucker. The father/son relationship bullshit might have been present but it was also completely and utterly ridiculous and didn't have a single honest moment. I can't believe people could actually be fooled into thinking that movie had depth. The human moments in this film seem to be much more rich, just in the trailer alone. A Bruce Banner with a personality doesn't hurt. I'm willing to bet this is easily the deeper film and, despite it's more entertaining status, a much better exploration of Bruce Banner's situation.

The Dubliner by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Apr 30th, 2008 04:54:52 PM
The reason being is the fact that ILM was building the models for skin texture and skeletal structure for 3 years in prep for Jurassic Park!! Three fucking years to develop the right look because no one had attempted it before. These days they give films about 9 months and half the C.G. artists they used to. Also the amount of effects shots-- can anyone find the number? I'm sure its less than 150 shots in J.P. And in today's shit like Transformers or Pirates or whats her fuck-- there can be over 2,000 effects shots. Back in J.P. they were smart and just focusing on the creatures and the bare minimum of what needed to be C.G. Today they are trying to make fire, water, crowds of people, explosions, creatures, change the color of the fucking building, add more cars, make Mark Wahlberg's dick bigger-- all sorts of crazy shit. Less is more. All these fuckers forget that.

CGI just works better with a muted palette it isn't rocket science lol (see Lotr for examples, cave trolls, gollum etc) I think the garish green just takes you out of reality given the limitations of effects today, could be wrong, just my opinion. Will reserve judgement anyway as really liked the Bixby hulk vibe they seem to be going with :)

Ang Lee's wasn't terrible. by JonQuixote	Apr 30th, 2008 05:11:49 PM
I praised it here when it first came out and I still maintain that there's a lot to like. It looks & feels like a comic book. They had a good feeling for who the Hulk was (ie. misunderstood, destructive but with heroic tendencies). And as mentioned, the desert action sequence was ass-kickeriffic. But it WAS boring. Not because it was introspective, but because the introspection was terrible. Technobabble and amateur psychology are no substitute for actual emotion. The character moments were shallow and dull. And the climax was weird and stupid. *** But at the point where Hulk escapes the desert base, and for the next 10 minutes or so, it's a glorious, fantastic Hulk movie.

The problem with the CGI is not the rendering by Bass Bastardson	Apr 30th, 2008 05:13:10 PM
It is the fucking anatomy. These guys don't have a fucking clue about musculature or bone structure. Seriously, it looks like these CGI artists took life drawing classes from Rob Leifeld. I'm on the fence about Ang Lee's version - there are good things about it and bad things. One of the good things IMO was the Hulk design. Not so much this time out. Even if this movie kicks all kinds of ass (which I doubt) the CGI Hulk from Ang's version will still be better.
its not the effects house thats to blame by Mysterious Yobo	Apr 30th, 2008 05:14:24 PM

A drifter who wanders from town to town only to get his ass whipped (while helping complete strangers no less.)turn into the Hulk who tosses ppl around and hitchikes down that lonely road with sleepytime piano music. credits roll The first two TV Movies were good, I'll give you that but the rest of the series was shit on a creamsicle. One of the things I liked about Lee's Hulk was the end in which Bana/Banner says in "espanol":don't make me angry, you would'nt like me when I'm angry..only to end with Elfman's powerful theme followed by Velvet revolver's set me free.I could care less what the haters say about Ang's Hulk, as it surpassed it's successors, i.e. the rediculous Superman Returns,The effortless Ghost Rider and the Floptastic Four.Norton who was great in American History X and the 24th Hour has now turned into a control freak...fuckin diva is no Banner compared to (Eric) Bana.

Hulk was a hero-- Not just a raging monster. by ZeroCorpse	Apr 30th, 2008 05:40:42 PM
Anybody who thinks Hulk was never a hero, or that he was only ever a raging monster (within a complex man who was battling his inner demons) has apparently never read the comics that featured the Hulk... Or they think Ang Lee's version is the real story and the comics are wrong. Hulk was a member of the Avengers, Defenders, and the heroic side of the Secret Wars. He's been fully capable of teaming up with other heroes and working toward a common goal, and even when he's the savage Hulk, he's still got enough sense to know the people he likes from the people who mean to do bad things. THIS Hulk is looking like a combination of the 616 version and the Ultimate version, with a little TV Hulk thrown in for good measure. The problem with Ang Lee's movie was that he turned BANNER into a complex, multi-tiered personality that spent a lot of time navel-gazing, and that's just NOT Banner. Not the TV version, not the Ultimate version, and certainly not the 616 version. The deepest Banner ever got was during Peter David's run when they got into the "Hulk as extreme multiple personality disorder" storyline, and that's where the abusive father angle came in. It was never a part of Hulk's story until that run of comics, and it's largely ignored today except as an accepted "root" for Banner's inability to control the Hulk. Ang Lee's Banner was a guy I wouldn't want to meet. He was kind of an annoying asshole, with nothing really interesting to say. The Banner in the comics is one of the smartest guys on the planet, and he's got a lot less emotional baggage out in the open than that movie version. He was never a dick, though, and the Ang Lee version most certainly was. And besides, Hulk dogs are just fucking stupid, and Absorbing Dad was about as lame as it gets for a villain.

OK that trailer just changed my mindj by heyscot	Apr 30th, 2008 05:46:56 PM
This movie might kick ass. . .I want it to kick ass. . .I have always loved Ed Norton from Fight Club, and now it looks like maybe they made a decent movie. The first trailer wasn't as good as this second one. . .we'll see though. I also wonder what Norton fought with the studio over.
Alright, the benefit of my doubt just ran out. by The Wolf at the Door	Apr 30th, 2008 05:47:26 PM
If that trailer is accurate, I'm predicting a very tacky, very weak film. All nuance of the Ang Lee film is gone so that we can see big CGI monsters have a punching contest. ("Who will punch harder!?! Oh, the drama!!!") Please note that I'm not saying that Ang Lee's film was perfect, or that one Hulk necessarily has to be better than the other, or that HULK's detractors don't sometimes have valid points. For my money, though, the film has staying power because it has (to my mind) depth of character. Here ... I just can't help being skeptical. For instance, this Thunderbolt may actually be closer to one of the comic book manifestations of the character, but his portrayal here just strikes me as lame and two-dimensional. Another stock "hard-ass" military guy. And what the hell was up with Blonsky walking up to the Hulk with his "that all you got?" line? It at least LOOKS like all balls, no brains so far. (I'd go a step further and say it looks tailor-made for those looking for the "Bad-Ass Brand of Instant-Film" despite being completely unearned and utterly nonsensical to the story. Just sayin' ... Blonsky better have a damn good reason for playing Rambo if the film's not going to degenerate into self-parody.) I'll bet that this will generate a response here (and I freely admit that I haven't seen the film yet, so it's all conjecture), but what the hell sense does it make to "even up the score" ... against a guy who's apparently NOT bothering anyone unless provoked ... by creating a SECOND monster? "General, there's a loose nuke out there somewhere that we need to track down before it explodes." "Hmmmmm ... I know, let's release a SECOND loose nuke so that the two bombs neutralize one another. Problem solved." "Um, General, that ... um ..." "JUST DO IT! In fact, send THREE more loose nukes out there ... that way the first loose nuke will be outnumbered." I'll be happy to be proved wrong. But in the meantime, I'm holding out my Summer Hope for TDK.
Should have gone with ILM! by PaddyIrishman	Apr 30th, 2008 05:49:01 PM
As cool as the story seems for this one, i have to say the CGI is too distracting. 5 years on and the effects look worse the first film... Sad!
heyscot, you can WANT it to kick ass all you want by Mysterious Yobo	Apr 30th, 2008 05:49:30 PM
but the reality is that trailer says in no uncertain terms that the movie will in fact SUCK ASS.

How as Lee's Banner "a dick"? by The Wolf at the Door	Apr 30th, 2008 05:52:04 PM
Just out of curiosity, ZombieCorpse, what makes you say that? I can dig that you "wouldn't want to meet him," but I wouldn't want to meet a lot of people that make interesting characters in film. I wouldn't want to meet Jabba the Hutt. And Han Solo would probably piss me off outside of an hour if I had to actually meet the guy and spend time with him (the self-centered prick that he is). How about Luke? Ugh, the whining ... (just sayin').
Danny ... you had a question? by The Wolf at the Door	Apr 30th, 2008 05:52:50 PM
I was just posting. Sorry. I'm sure your post was riveting. Shame on me for just skipping over it and writing what I felt like writing. Now I'M being a dick ...
Hulk Ultimate destruction by Stalkeye	Apr 30th, 2008 05:52:51 PM
the scene where Hulk is using car doors for boxing gloves came straight from that Xbox game.Uh how original.And you would think after five years, the CGI would improve right? He looks like a man made from spinach."HO Ho Ho, Green Giant".Tim Roth may save this film, but I'm not banking on Norton's performance in this one. Sowwies.
The directing is what causes the problems by Mysterious Yobo	Apr 30th, 2008 05:55:36 PM
its so bad i didnt even realize what the fuck was going on in that car push at 1:18 total waste of money, had to replay slowly to see what was going on. then it looked ok. BOS.

crappy cg??? by huggerorange	Apr 30th, 2008 06:13:51 PM
the cg doesnt look so bad..I dont see a whole lot of difference in the detail/realism than what it was in ang lees..So i dont understand the complaining ..the first hulk had plenty of cartoony cg and about one scene that looks real..this has 2 cg main charcters and look more realistic but still some weak spots with hulk..I know its harder to animate organic subjects and make it look real, so you cant compare with tranformers cause it had the edge there..
Will we see a little of the grey Hulk too? by hansello	Apr 30th, 2008 06:16:37 PM
Not a big reader of the comics etc. but I remember storylines that established a 2nd version of the Hulk that was calmer, more inteligent and Grey. The green one still emerged, but Banner could sometimes control the change. It would be cool if this was touched upon in the movie. Also, can we have a Green, amazonian She-Hulk please embracing her 'gamma-like' powers and defending Banner in court. Thanks. As for Ang Lee's vision, who cares if it was thought provoking... it was boring for kids. Whether we 30 something geeks like it or not, super hero movies are family films. Hopefully The Incredible Hulk will go a long way to turning around a failed franchise. Finally, I liked the TV Theme at the end.

It DOES Look Pretty DAMN SWEET. by mistergreen	Apr 30th, 2008 06:28:52 PM
And yes, it really is hard to make a CGI human/hulk. Unless you jerks can model and animate anything in 3-D, you should shut yo' mouths.

GREEN by solobear	Apr 30th, 2008 06:40:34 PM
After seeing this new trailer, I'm green with envy. It looks like this one might be the HULK movie that the last one should have been. Too slow a pace, too much worthless spiritulaistic crap, and not enough action made the first HULK feature mediocre, but this look like it's gonna pack one helluva punch!
Hulk has a nice hairstylist by geraldbeans	Apr 30th, 2008 06:41:14 PM
Is it just me or does Hulk have a really nice haircut? I'm sorry but I can never suspend disbelief when something is so obviously computer generated.
Ang Lee's Hulk by Briannicus	Apr 30th, 2008 06:42:08 PM
As a movie it was weak and meandered WAAAAY tooo much, and whenever I saw the green giant with chubby baby cheeks I just wanted to vomit. Granted the CGI in this could still use a bit of work, it seems to be more of what people would expect from a HULK movie. And Bronsky already got dosed with the super soldier serum when he got punted.
Mysterious Yobo makes a good point too by Thunderbolt Ross	Apr 30th, 2008 06:42:54 PM
Green on green on green is the most obvious thing to avoid. Put him in a city, in the snow IN THE DESERT MAYBE hmmm ... but, yeah. Good point.

With Harry on this one TBer's... by DonKingKong	Apr 30th, 2008 06:49:17 PM
Look at us cynical lil’ cry-baby Fanboys. Each one of us building these little walls of protection to shield us from the pain of yet another mediocre Hulk movie. These Talk-back blurbs of diminished expectations are really just reverse psychological acts of desperation… We really do want this to be the ultimate kick-ass Hulk Smash movie. But yet at the same time we seek oscar caliber performances, writing that is sharp and poignant (with some bonafide in-depth character development). Oh yea plus it’s mandatory that it be true-to-the-comics, all 40 plus years of it. We want all of that and we need it to flow (without it feeling forced) in just under 2 hours! Don’t tell me it can’t be done mother fucker! This is gawd-damned America! Kennedy promised a man on the moon by the end of the 60’s, and by damn we put us a man on the frigg’n moon (we, meaning former ex-nazi rocket scientists of course). You know that you'll be there opening day, just like me. End up saying how cool it is upon leaving the theater, then a week later laminate on how much better it coulda been if only (insert infinite number of possibilities here__.) I really like the idea of how Marvel films are approaching these new properties, it's sounding like they're laying the foundations for a larger universe by inter-connecting these films, just like in those funny books they come from. Now take notice Hollywood producer man.
Marketing? by Larry Sellers	Apr 30th, 2008 06:49:41 PM
If only this movie didn't have a poorly received predecessor to surpass. I don't understand the lack of marketing for this thing. They went balls out for the first one but it's been relatively quiet on this. The action looks cooler, but we kind of saw this story in the first. Ross chasing Hulk, except they've added a monster this time. There was one last time it was just tacked on and made no fucking sense. I understand they have to reset the pieces in a more presentable fashion to wash out the taste of the first (which I actually liked, but generally speaking...) but I wished they'd gone with a different kind of story. I hold Zak Penn accountable for all of these comic book based flicks that had the potential to be special. The Brett Ratner of screenwriting. Of course I'll see Hulk, but I'm not expecting to be blown away.

or plastic. There's no sense of flesh. Muscle definition seems off or they're placing too much emphasis in the wrong areas. Face, eyes, hair, expressions etc look really fake. I know they were going for a smaller Hulk but the version they have now doesn't seem imposing in the way that Hulk is supposed to be. Everything else about the movie might be great but the CG is bad enough to be distracting.

...the Hulk's FACE is WAY too elastic and seems to go through more facial expressions than Jim Carrey in LIAR LIAR. I freeze-framed all the images of the Hulk in the trailer, and it literally looks as if a DIFFERENT animator rendered his face each time. There's absolutely NO CONSISTENCY WHATSOEVER in his features. Couldn't put my finger on it at first, but I think that's the MAIN reason why he still looks dodgy at best. That, and the rubbery muscles are still unconvincing.
