The Incredible Hulk Trailer!

It looked good. Then I saw CGI monsters.

A little CGI, but I liked it. Seeing him meditate and trying to stay in control is cool, plus hearing Thunderbolt Ross say, “Property of the US” was cool (regarding Banner’s body). But I still feel that Liv Tyler and Ross shouldn’t have been recast…

Heath,

I’ll go even further. They could have easily just done an action-packed HULK sequel with Bana, Jennifer Connelly and Sam Elliott without having to reference the previous film.

But instead we get this reboot non-sense (with a great cast of actors to be fair!) That trailer didn’t convince me of ANYTHING Marvel’s been saying about this for the past 2 years.

See this just proves to me that nothing satisfies hulk fans. I mean if this doesn’t get you excited noting will. All I see here is bitching. C’mon people. It ain’t gonna get better than this.

Hmm,

I don’t know… It looked ok, but then trailers are often either better than the movie or nothing like it.

In this case, I’d say it’s well, it looks ok… I’m going to give it a shot. Thought seeing Edward Norton as The Hulk doesn’t really work for me. I mean he’s a scrawny man, then he turns into a giant, still wearing his whatever size pants!?!?!?!?

I know I know…

Just an observation…
Still, I’ll watch it…

Ummm… Yeah, Bruce Banner IS a scrawny man who turns into a giant. That’s what the Hulk is dude. (are you aware that it’s based on a comic book?) I think the trailer was cool, didn’t expect too much considering the complete lack of hype for the movie. The one thing that kinda bothered me is the end sequence with Abomination and Hulk running at eachother with the epic soundtrack behind it…. Ummmm.. Matrix Revolutions already did that scene guys..

Wow. I thought it all looks pretty cool.
I’m really looking forward to this one.
I’m surprised that there are any complaints at all ; there’s just no pleasing some people.

I thought the setup for the fight was awesome, and straight out of a Hulk comic book. Especially the pre-fight roar and how they automatically started running at each other when they saw each other.

Im not too worried about the quality of the CGI because the movie isnt even done being edited yet, so they can fine tune some of the scenes. Sort of like the tank scene in the iron man trailer, not quite finished yet, but when it hits the silver screen you know its gonna look better(at least I think it will. They better not screw it up)

Im a big fan of Tim Roth when he plays creepy people, so I am hoping that the Abomination retains some of Tim Roth and isnt just a raging beast.

LOVE IT!!

WOW! I wish we could have seen more of Hulk but I thought that was pretty darn good for a first trailer. It almost felt like an advertisement for a new Hulk TV series, which would be pretty sweet. But I think it will be a good movie, much better than the Ang Lee version. I love the direction it’s taking.

Here are the main things I liked about the trailer:

Liked: Hulk’s size (9 ft. instead of 20!), Ed Norton as Banner disguising himself trying to escape from someplace, scene with Abomination and Hulk going at it at the end, Tim Roth’s scenes as Blonsky (short but sweet), and last but certainly not least, the scene where Banner’s eyes turned green, remniscent of the opening scene from the Bixby TV show. LOVED that scene, even tho it was short.
Not sure about: Abomination’s look. I like the comix version better, looks more like a monster, IMO. Don’t see why they didn’t use that look.

Dislike: How “rippeley” and body-builder-ish the Hulk looks. IMO, the Hulk should be built like the Kirby version, not show offy muscles but massy, thick and very heavy looking. More monster like (al la Frankenstein’s monster). That’s the Hulk that I like. But this translation of the Hulk’s appearance from the comic to screen is MUCH better than how SOME comic characters appearances have been adapted to film (*cough* Batman *cough*).
I can’t wait for this film. I hope it does well. Overall, I’m much more pleased with what I’ve seen here than I was with Ang Lee’s film. I was really surprised at how different it looked (hopefully the makers of the next Superman will take notice of this!) from the other film.

Finally, HULK can SMASH!!

I still think Lou Ferrigno was the best Hulk.
I’ve watched the trailer 3 times now and each time it seems a little better-until the CGI becomes blatant. I am REALLY hoping that it’s just due to it not being a finished product, but that is what I thought about Ang Lee’s version and I was wrong.

Gosh I just realised that the guy he’s talking to in the beginning is Doc Samson, umm do you guys know if they are going to use him any in the upcoming movie.

Those who don’t know he gets hit with similar rays or what not but its not as extreme as Bruce’s case and he essentially is just really strong and has long green hair. I know what the die hard hulk fans are saying “oh but that doesn’t happen till Betty is turned into a crystal thing(don’t ask)” But you know the movies don’t exactly follow those time lines or origin stories. I’m just saying the fact that they cast a doc samson is cuz he will be in either this movie or he is a set up for a sequel.

Vic,

Visually, I look at the two versions of the Hulk, and I gravitate towards liking the newer version better, on design only.

I take it for granted that they’re obviously not finished with the cgi work yet, though it needs a LOT more work than the Iron Man footage did at the end of the super bowl ad (which I still don’t see as lacking very much- some people must have super-eagle-eye sharp vision to be able to pick apart that one - maybe you could put up a photo-to-photo comparison of the super bowl tank shot with the post super bowl tank shot just to see if it’s really that much of a marked difference, but I digress.)

The good news is that they’ve got more time to fine tune the effects than the makers of Iron Man do, so there’s still hope all the technical issues will be ironed out before it gets released.

If nothing else, they do seem to have at least nailed the story of the Hulk better than Ang Lee did at this point. I really am not as interested as a viewer in the father-son psychology that permeated the Lee version, as I am about Bruce Banner simply coming to grips with the unimaginable beast living inside him and the isolation he feels as a result of it. It was the strength and hallmark of the TV show, and now it seems we might see that aspect translated to the big screen.

I’m looking forward to it, but still not as much as my “Big 4″, which are the only films this summer I intend to see regardless of what critics say:

The Dark Knight
Wall-E
Indy 4 (not gonna spell it all out)
Iron Man

“The Incredible Hulk” is one of those I intend to ‘wait and see’ what the early word on it is before deciding to part with the time and money to see it.

I got to say one thing ruined the abomination for me… the ears, they have always been like the main noticeable thing about the abomination at least for me.

But, Doc Samson anyone?

I would have to agree with you Vic on this one. The newest rendition of the Hulk is not to impressive. I still think they should do a real human in the role and make him biggie like Xerces(sp?)in 300. That actor is like 6 foot tall not 8 foot tall.

I really like the premise of this movie (always have since the basic plot outline was released). I like the Hulk’s new look (the round face of Ang’s version makes him look a little boyish).

Not impressed with Abomination, he needs the ears that he’s known for and maybe a little more human look to his face (not sure how to say it, ok just forget it). This Abmonination looks like something out the Resident evil movies.

Speaking of the pants, I hope they don’t make the same mistake as Ang’s Hulk by showing him shrink back to Bruce, pants and all. I think I would actually like it better not showing the transformation at all, be creative with the cuts.

I don’t know why some people on here are so down on this movie, I feel better about it after seeing the trailer (minus Abomination’s look of course).

“The first rule of ‘The Incredible Hulk’ is that we don’t talk about ‘The Incredible Hulk’…”

Yeah, I think they followed that rule up until about a week ago Marketing anyone? please?

WHERE’S THE GREEN?

I fell asleep about 90 seconds in. Last I saw, this is a movie about an Orc from Lord of the Rings.

Yep, just another throwaway CGI zombie creature. Oh, is it inside-out man? Skinless zuvembie? I’ve never seen anything like THAT before. Yawn.

I liked Ang Lee’s visuals and some of the new concepts (growing with anger, liking the feeling, feeling a kind of freedom) The overall style was, well, refreshingly comic book-ish.

I dont know at this moment my true feelings about this movie. When i saw the first Hulk movie, i was all hyped and excited. This one didnt do it the same way. on the first movie we saw an angry hulk, running around doing what he wanted, breaking things. He wasnt under the control of anyone.

Here it seems bruce wants to control him and makes the hulk do whatever…. Hulk to the rescue. I think theres to little of the plot revealed to make a judgement. I will go see it regardless. 3 mths to go………

i have some doubts but looks way better than the first

the abomination looks accurate to me in movie format. Makes no sense if abomination has pointy ears and fish scales. besides, how the hell would you do it. As for the hulk design, perfect. I didn’t hate ang lee’s version of hulk but like someone said earlier , he looked like a wrestler in green make up.
point is, cgi will always be as good as the technology at the time allows it to be. saying it looks too cgi is kind of stupid to say because everyone with more than an acorn in their head knows it’s not real. it’s just eye candy. the story, acting, and whether or not you give a crap about the characters is what will make the movie great. When I saw batman begins, my favorite scenes were the small subtle ones , before he put on the bat suit. Just hope that hulks story in this is a solid one.

later taters

I thought it looked awesome.

I’ll sign on to preferring the massive-not-sculpted look. I liked the Ang Lee version too; if they manage to make this compatible with it, I’ll be very happy, but either way it does look pretty cool.

Love the drop from the chopper. Anyone else think of that scene in The Ultimates?

The one thing they should have learned from the 1st movie is that staying true to the comic is key to a successful movie adaption. That said, I’m very disappointed how Abomination has been “re-invisioned”.

I do think this Hulk looks better, although the CGI still needs some work.

Maybe more people would be happy if Fred Harryhausen did the animation.

He does look a little like a plastic toy but, I won’t hold that against him.

It’s amazing what can make people RANT about a film. I wonder sometimes about my own sensibilities and gut feelings.

All people that see a movie do so with implicit understanding that the visual is the first or foremost sense that a film is playing to. So how does a character get to look stronger? Everyone that has seen a person exercise over time sees the transformation. The body in certain ways gets bigger! Now visually you communicate this in a radical way so that the one seeing the film instantly knows what’s happening. No conversation needs to be wasted on it! In the case of “The Hulk” new-commers to the story don’t need back story, the madder he gets the stronger he gets, because effects communicate the back story!

The compromise of course is that the classical nature is broken. It violates the sensibilities of those familiar with the story. The fan base or classicist becomes disinterested, however the artists are counting on new viewers. So despite the classicists’ opinions a film can go on to be successful. Mr. Lee’s version of “The Hulk” is just that a version. If it failed on some or many levels well the classical story was handed to him to attempt to tell. Now if Marvel, can’t succeed with the classic fan, well fans, where ya gonna go? Your only hope is to suck it up and hope that the next one will be better tweaked to your liking.

I’m not saying that RANTING fans isn’t a good thing, just make sure to buy the product anyway! At this point its your only hope to get what you really want.

Yeah, DjoFilmBuff, I’m with you. IMHO, this movie will surpise ALOT of doubters. All of the clips I’ve seen look very good if not great, just hope the cgi is tuned up just a little.

I’ve read many of the comments here and agree with many of you. Based on CGI alone I’d pick the first Hulk over this new one, with the exception of the shade of green used. I like the darker green.
But like some of you have stated, many of these modern Hulk designs are off. Jack Kirby and Stan Lee created the Hulk as a Frankenstein’s Monster/Neanderthal creature. A massive mutated humanoid form, not sculpted like he’s been to the gym. Banner is a skinny guy who’s on the run, he doesn’t work-out. Over the years they’re turned the Hulk into a green handsome guy This is the closed I’ve seen anyone come to creating a accurate 3d Hulk. http://monsterpappa.deviantart.com/art/The-Incredible-Hulk-38105828
For anyone who is interested I’m going to do a painting of what I think he should look like and post it here: http://fo-shar.deviantart.com/
