[UPDATE: Maybe the Hulk will look better than we thought in the upcoming movie, check out the new facial close-up below.]
With the rising interest in The Incredible Hulk movie following the release of the latest trailer I thought this was worth checking out.
There has been a lot of discussion regarding the “look” of the Hulk in the upcoming film - both as a standalone and as compared to the Ang Lee version. Well /Film has posted an image of a fan-made CGI model that looks like it’s far better than either of the movie versions (based on what I’ve seen so far).

There have been lots of comments stating that the new version of the Hulk is way too “ripped.” I actually thought that in some of the scenes he looks like he has no skin and it’s just green, exposed muscle. On the other hand Ang Lee’s version looked too “soft,” almost like a pro-wrestler that forgot to cut salt out of his diet. 
While it seems like this movie’s version is kind of an over-reaction to Lee’s, it looks to me like Sweden-based artist Jonas Thornqvist got it just right not only in muscle definition but overall physique and facial structure:
The point has been brought up stating that “Just how ‘real’ can you make a 9-foot, green behemoth look?” Well I think the fellow above looks pretty damned realistic considering his un-real qualities.
Here’s a comparison of the three and tell me you don’t think the version above is the best one:
Sure, this one isn’t animated, but even for animation you have to start with a decent static model.
Maybe the movie version will look better in the final analysis - could be that like that Super Bowl Iron Man shot that what we’ve seen just isn’t quite complete.
Update: Speaking of “the final analysis” check out this screen grab from one of the latest TV commercials:

^ THAT looks good.
I reckon the new hulk looks cute ^_^ and not sooo scary! The way I always imagined him!
What an outstanding picture. We’re going to be using that on the front of our website to coincide with the release of our “The Incredible Hulk” Feature Film Review podcast. That’s a great picture and we’re happy to link back here for it.
Additionally I wanted to agree with you about the look of this “new Hulk”. When I look at the chest just under the neck, I’m totally not sold. Though I will also DISagree with the look the the Ang Lee Hulk. I LOVED that Hulk, both in shape, but - what my Podcast Partner Tony called “Texture” in our detailed review.
Kudos to such great comments. It’s great to see more people that actually tell people what they think and not just fall in line to love “yet another comic book movie.
Cheers!

Thanks for the props, bro - much appreciated. We try to speak our mind here at Screen Rant.

I am sorry to tell you… but there is no doubt that the Hulk in the newest movie is the best. The fan-made looks too much like a monkey. Don’t take for granted everyone has the same opinion as you have.
I think the fan created one is the best of the bunch. Let’s face it, the Hulk means to kick ass - not resemble on oversized plush toy to prove his vulnerability - his actions in his down time delivers that. The latest hulk, though better - is no where near as aggressive and looks “stiff”. This artist rendition has a natural flow despite the fact that he is a Monster — Great Work!
The Hulk in the new movie is anything else than stiff, Mike Ray. And he looks at least 10 times more agressive than this stupid green monkey on the fan created picture. It just looks embarrassing. The funny thing is; THAT ONE looks stiff. It doesn’t have to do with my personal opinion this time; it’s about how they look.
helloo i like hulk and i think it is so cool for me the movies
Well I will agree that this artists rendition of the hulk is better than the first. I disagree completely on it being better than the hulk from the second movie. The first one looked totally fake, even though we all know it’s just a comic book character, we should get some sense of realism. The artist rendition does look far more aggresive than the other two, however the flaws I point out are, one as a previous poster mention the muscle around the neck would make it impossible for him to even turn his own head, and though he has huge arms,his chest seems small for a character whose supposed to possess such amazing strength, and third, and maybe not as important to others as myself, Hulk was supposed to be a human transformed as a result of a lab experiment gone bad, the third hulk doesn’t even look like a human being. When I look at the second Hulk I see the potential of what might happen to a real human being in that situation, and though his movements are a bit stiff, I notice in real life most guys with that much dense muscle (bodybuilders) seem to move pretty much the same way. So I like the second one the best.
