Incredible Hulk

[UnkoMan]

The only thing I would have done would be to add some fin ears.

And PS: Wasn't Transporter 2 suppose to be a parody? I always assumed it was.

[BentonGrey]

Hmm...I don't really understand the rationale for changing the character design, as the original is recognizable to comic fans and (in my opinion) more visually interesting with the ears.  It is also more easily distinguished from Hulk himself.  That being said, the new design isn't bad.  It's not exactly ground breaking, but I'm not upset by it.

[BWPS]

I thought Transporter 2 was a really awesome movie up until it showed the all-time worst and unintentionally hilarious scene of any movie ever. I laughed from the point when he saw that bomb on the bottom of his car and realized he'd be able to drive his car into midair and have it flip just enough so that the crane hanging down would knock it off. Like, how did he know to do that AM I RIGHT?!

Am I the only one disturbed by the Hulk action figure with "super clap" powers? *shudder*

I suppose the filmmakers had to do something to the original Abomination design to avoid offering viewers what might amount to a Hulkified version of those Gremlins from that 1984 film. *shrug*

What's so bad about that, ow_tiobe_sb?   ;)

[Panther_Gunn]

He looks more like Swamp Thing, to me.  Add them ear fins on there, and it might help.....maybe.

just gotta make sure the kids wear protection when they play with him

[herodad1]

it looks like the character tony stark(robert downey jr.) is also in the hulk movie.

[herodad1]

does anyone know how theyre going to bring the hulk to the big screen.is it the same computer animation like the other movie?

[MJB]

If you are asking if the Hulk will be computer generated then the answer is yes. If you are asking if they are using the same model that was used in the Ang Lee Hulk movie then the answer is no.

That's awesome!

Seriously, it looks like a real Hulk movie, when an actual villain Hulk can have a knock out, drag down fight with.

It should be fun.

[Verfall]

Damn MTV and their "can't show things outside the US" crap. Anyway, found a spanish one on youtube, damn does this movie look good!

[the_ultimate_evil]

Damn MTV and their "can't show things outside the US" crap.

[MJB]

The trailer is up on MTV's website. Feel free to watch and voice your opinions. :)

The Hulk looks cool, but is it me or does he has a tad bit too much hair?

[Panther_Gunn]

The Hulk looks cool, but is it me or does he has a tad bit too much hair?

Yeah, I was thinkin' the same thing.  And the face, or at least the chin, looks a bit too angular.

And can we get some ear-wings on the Abomination?  :D

Just to be absolutely clear about what this film represents, ComingSoon.net seems to indicate that [spoiler]this film is a reboot of sorts.  However, certain elements of the trailer are confusing in that they seem to hint at Banner's having a much longer past dealing with his problem.  In other words, my question is whether or not this film intends to re-create the gamma bomb explosion scene which leads to the introduction of the Hulk, or will it rely on this well known sequence as a series of events that occurred off-screen--in which case, the film leaves the door open to the possibility that this is a sequel and not an attempt to restart?  [RANT]IMHO, film franchises that want to restart and erase the tale told only five short years ago irritate me to no end.  The Ang Lee film was not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but I thought Eric Bana and Jennifer Connelly performed well despite the weaknesses of the story (and I thought the psychodrama approach to telling the Hulk's story was at least a good concept, even if its realisation was less than satisfying in parts).  If this next film is a reboot, it strikes me as unnecessary and simply underlines the fact that there is no such thing as artistic loyalty in such a crass Marvel film industry.  :thumbdown:[/RANT][/spoiler]

I think the Lee-Kirby comic book origin, or even the TV show origin, are both better than that confused, weirdly Freudian thing Ang Lee put together. By the way, the first few minutes of the TV pilot are a brilliant example of efficient and dramatic screenwriting.
But potentially, the original origin is even darker and more powerful. The cold scientist Banner is transformed by his own creation, a bomb more terrible than the hydrogen bomb. It hints that the scariest monster is the guy in the lab coat.

Looks quite good. Nice to see Dawn of The Dead jerk as Doc Samson, plus the "Banner falls from plane, turns into Hulk on the way down" set piece.

The only things I'm not keen on are:

* as mentioned, rebooting Ang Lee's movie. For all its faults, at least it got Hulk's origin out of the way. No need to explore that further.

* the look of the Hulk. His face and build looks a little off to me ... maybe too cartoony.

[TheMarvell]

I think I'm one of the few people who loved the original Hulk movie. There were really only 2 things that bothered me: the ending, and when the Hulk fights on tree limbs. I mean, really Ang Lee? Tree limbs? Is this Crouching Tiger Hidden Hulk? But I digress.

At first I was against this reboot crap too. In fact I still kind of am. Hulk came out 5 years ago. People aren't going to forget that film so soon. So this "reboot" I think is going to confuse a lot of people. But not us internet geeks who know, lol.

when they announced the cast though, I was all for it, especially when I heard Norton took the initiative to get involved with the script and make edits. The trailer looks good. I think the CGI looks decent. I just find it odd that Marvel would shun Hulk 2003 so easily. Fantastic Four was a much worse movie than Hulk, but that one was flagged for a sequel right away with the same cast and all. It all boiled down to box office on that one, but I'm sure Hulk didn't lose that much money. It's just frustrating as I really think Hulk is a very underrated, under appreciated, and, much like the character himself, misunderstood film.

[Protomorph]

I do like what I'm seeing from this trailer.

[herodad1]

my thoughts on the new film are that the new film will stand on its own like the other never happened.also this time around will be better because they probably heard what everybody hated about the first film and will correct it with the new film.this hulk will be more like the rampaging hulk everyone grew up with.its going to be a smash fest and thats what everyone looks for from the hulk.my question is how theyre going to use tony stark in the new film?will we see the hulkbuster armor?sweet!

[TheMarvell]

its going to be a smash fest and thats what everyone looks for from the hulk.

that's exactly what I'm afraid of though, and why I really liked the first Hulk movie. It wasn't just a completely mindless action movie, and instead actually took time to develop its characters. Hopefully we can have both the good character development and action scenes in this one though.

[thalaw2]

I liked the first movie too.  Speed, size, and strength wise the Hulk couldn't have been better...and there was plenty of smashing.  IMO much much much better than the Fantastic Four 1 and 2.  I don't think it needs a reboot, but I'm open minded.

[JeyNyce]

The first Hulk wasn't that bad.  It didn't start to get good until Hulk was fighting the Army.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

Keep in mind that, unless I am mistaken, this movie is being made by marvel studios while the first was before Marvel founded their own studios, so I definitely would not expect a straight sequal.  That being set, I believe the plan was for it to be a basic reboot, but for the actual origin to remain open so one could assume the last movie did take place.

Could be wrong, though.

[Uncle Yuan]

Tim Roth?  Cool!  Did we know that? :unsure:

[Tomato]

I'm going to have to disagree with several people here about the reboot thing... while I agree it would be very annoying if I have to go through the origin of Hulk AGAIN, the fact remains that If this does a more effective job I'm not going to whine about a reboot "so soon" after the last. Frankly, I wish certain OTHERS would follow suit and just let us forget what were horrible ideas that hadn't been thought out AT ALL *cough*Superman*cough*.

You can complain about not going back to the original concept, but if I had the choice between a sequel that was decent but still mostly a rehash of the same garbage the first experienced and a movie that discounted everything before but was in all respects better... Heck, I want the better film.

As for the new Hulk movie... I agree with Marvell somewhat. I'm all for Hulk Smashing things, but without any characterization there the smashing is empty, and that would make Tomato sad. However, the first one overdid it... a good chunk of the movie was devoted to the psychobable about how everything Banner did was his father's fault, and we have to pity poor poor Banner for this reason. If they keep the story focused on Banner's own responsibility I'll enjoy it more.

[danhagen]

The first Star Trek movie, like the first Hulk movie, was unpardonably dull. So Paramount basically ignored the first film and made an excellent, action-packed, dramatic second film. That's what I'd like to see here.
I won't even concede that the first Hulk movie was better than the first Fantastic Four movie, which was at least fun-loving, for all its faults. The Hulk movie was pretentious, ponderous and TEDIOUS. The kids in the audience were squirming with boredom the night I saw it, and I was as fed up as they were.
Odd, because both Robert Wise and Ang Lee have made brilliant films.
