I watched the trailer and it actually looked really good right until the moment when the Hulk appeared. The graphics look really lame. I was hoping with someone really talented like Edward Norton being involved that they’d make this movie in a really intelligent, innovative way. But it looks like the same old tired lasershow. I won’t see this. And it takes Norton down a notch in my eyes.
Norton has been a disappointment. I don’t think he’s produced anything of real lasting quality since “American History X” which was ten years ago (”25th Hour” and “The Score” were good, but they didn’t go anywhere).
I was disappointed by the first preview, but I thought this one was great. Script reviews have been really positive, too.
I agree that the Hulk looks crappy — but is there really anyway to make him look great? He is a giant green strong guy. How do you make that look real?
Actually, I would have been ok having a body builder play the part. Lou Ferrigno’s Hulk scared the crap out of me as a kid (and I still occasionally have nightmares about it).
As for Ed Norton…seriously? I think he is fantastic. The Score was great, but the Illusionist was excellent. And The Italian Job is a guilty pleasure. I’ve heard that he really kicked the standard for this movie up.
Time will tell. In the meantime…IRON MAN!
I don’t understand.
Wasn’t there a CGI-riddled Hulk movie with Eric Bana and Jennifer Connelly like 5 years ago? Directed by Ang Lee, I believe?
There’s probably no bigger F-you to a Hollywood production team than to remake the same movie 4 years later. Or is this a sequel with different casting or something?
It is a reboot/sequel.
I am one of the few who liked the first one…
I agree on the body-builder thing. I’d rather see something more realistic than an animated vein-monster. Now, obviously, the Hulk is not intended to be ‘realistic.’ But, in my opinion, one of enduring allures of cinema is its potential to make you reimagine the world you live in. That’s what’s so great about the new Batman movies; they certainly push beyond the bounds of reality, but it stretches rather than breaks them. I would have liked to see that in this Hulk movie, especially with someone credible like Edward Norton.
I agree Soda. I just don’t know what a “real” Hulk would look like – or if it is possible to make something like that believable.
Maybe this is destined to fail for that reason alone.
