I just saw the New Hulk movie trailer. This is to be aired during the Super Bowl.
All I can say is (http://www.snowtroopers.ca/forumicons/jaw-dropper.gif) (http://www.snowtroopers.ca/forumicons/scared.gif) (http://www.snowtroopers.ca/forumicons/Bolt.gif) (http://www.snowtroopers.ca/forumicons/bigokay.gif)

A big Thanks to membraneman for posting about it on Snowtrooper.ca. ;)
-
It looked good, CGI is a little scary, Jar Jar is one thing, the Hulk is another
-
What get's me after all these years is, the Hulk is bigger in this movie & yet his Pants still stay on. ;D
-
You know what Radiation does to one's...shall we say...bits and pieces? Ask George Costanza after he's been swimming ;)
-
I didn't see it during the Super Bowl (not much of a sports fan), but I did make sure to stop by the official site (http://www.thehulk.com (http://www.thehulk.com)) today and check it out. Hmm, well, the Hulk was appropriately big, that's for sure, but he seemed a bit too...cuddly, I guess. His face looked like the big lovable bear type of a guy (my wife mentioned Shrek, and she's not too far from the mark).
I understand that as the protagonist, we're supposed to identify with him and all. But we're all familiar with the line (that's even in the trailer), "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry". Well, if you're just a big green teddy bear, who wouldn't like you?
I'm sorry...I'm ranting. I am looking forward to the movie. I'm just hoping they don't screw it up like so many other possibilities have been screwed (anybody see the piece of trash they call the D&D movie?). But, I guess on the plus side, I didn't see the Hulk spewing any cheesy one-liners. ;)
-
How many of you can't wait for this movie to come out on 6/20? OR how many of you think this this movie is going to suck? I think the Hulk looks fake in the previews, but we will see when the movie comes out :P.
-
I dunno, but I have this comic book that is Batman Vs. Hulk. :)

Really? Batman wins right ;)?

Pass. The Bruce Banner portryal/actor looks pathetic.
-
The CGI on the Hulk does not look that good IMO.
Who is the best Hulk?

I'm going to pass on this movie since the CGI on the Hulk looks fake. I'm not a fan of the Hulk fanchise but remember some of the tv show and don't know when Hulk became as big as a two story house (16'-20' i guess) and have the ability to jump what looks like a long distance and other thing in the trailer that seem kind of stuipid.
-
I saw the full Hulk trailer at the theater Friday night right before F&F2 came on.
Honestly, I am a Hulk fan...as well as my wife.......and I liked what I saw of the Hulk scenes.....but I think that another actor would look better for Bruce Banner's portrayal.
Still, I'll see this movie......and hopefully it won't be too bad ;)
-
Bah. The T.V. show was terrible. Hulk is the strongest character in the Marvel universe. He is about 8-10 feet tall in the comic book. He can jump for several miles at a time. I think the wussy t.v. hulk has you guys spoiled...
The CGI looks ok except for his face in my opinion. That is what is killing me.
As far as Batman vs. hulk. He is able to get him one time, cause Batman throws some knockout gas, and the Hulk holds his breath, so Batman punches him in the sternum and makes him breathe in the gas and get knocked out. World's greatest detective indeed.
(he tried it a second time and it didn't work though...Hulk Learn.)
The banner guy looks like he will be O.K. I'm probably gonna see the movie.
-
I'll see it, mainly because I'm interested to see Ang Lee's take on it. The CGI looks a little fake, and I don't remember the Hulk being able to fly. ::)
-
I think where Hulk may have difficulty capturing an audience, as compared with the other Marvel movies is this: we're talking about a 10 foot plus tall green behemoth. Not something you'd expect to see everyday.
The other Marvel movies, like Spiderman, X-Men, and X-2 have dealt with relatively normal people in terms of stature and appearance. The apparent humanity of these characters makes them much easier to grasp.
The Hulk is a far stretch from the above situation. Like I said, you're dealing with a giant, green monster. Suspending your disbelief will be difficult. But, also think about it this way: how fixated were you on the appearance of the Cave Troll in The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring? Or how about the Balrog? Were you really fixated on how good of a cgi character they were, or were you drawn into their respective roles in Fellowship? And you can also bring up Gollum, an impressive example of a digital character done well.
I'm gonna see the movie. I was a fan of the Hulk from when I was a little kid watching the show on CBS, and reading some of the comics, up through the animated series. I'm going to go into the movie with an open mind, and see what Ang Lee has in store for the moviegoer.
-

Actually, that's the Hulk's super-leaping ability. His legs are powerful enough that he can jump about three miles in a single leap.
-
Yep, uber long jumps were common in the comic books, so this doesn't seem that out of character. Suspension of disbelief necessary yes, but not out of the realm of possibility (oh, I am so full of it).
-
The trailer looked a bit crappy, but that's coming from someone who was never a fan of Hulk in the first place. I'm not gonna watch this, not even if it's put on TV.
-
I'm not interested in this movie. Won't be seeing it.
-
I'll probably go see it when it comes out in theaters, but it's not on my priority list (of movies that I must go out to see). Of course the hulk is going to look fake... it's all CGI. What do you expect? They could have used someone better for the main actor though, at least someone with a reputable name. I know Lou Firigno (sp?) asked to play the role of the Hulk, but they wanted to do a CGI version instead.
-
In this day and age, Ferrigno simply couldn't pull it off and be comparable to all the FX stuff we see. I'll reserved judgement on the flick until I see it. The hype is astronomical, even the case of Mountain Dew I brought home has the Hulk on it (and on the cans) ::)
I hope it's a huge hit, if only to get the 80 billion Hulk figures jamming the pegs at all the stores. ::)
-
I'll be at my local theatre !!! I am not going in with high expectaions, just so that when the movie's cgi Hulk ruins it for me I won't be totally dissapointed. 8) I have to go tonight because tommorrow I work, as well as Saturday and Sunday, and I have to see this movie this weekend!!! So when are you all going ????
-
I'll go see it when it comes out on dvd
-
I won't be seeing this ever, I don't think.
-
When Hell freezes over, maybe then. ;D
-
Ww, them's some harsh words, harsh words. ;D ut alas my curiosity has gotten the better ofme and hae to go, just like I did with Daredevil. But I am not going in wth high expectations. When I come back I'll ost on wht I thgouht of the movie, but I promise no spoilers. Not that it matters with this bunch, since none of you seem to want to see it!!! ;D
But with Hulk dogs, I can't blame you. Oh well we'll see tonight.
-
did your keyboard just break?
-
Oh, and I want to see it. I get off on Friday at 12:00 :) So i'll be there after lunch. I'm going in with 55% of my thinking it will suck and 45% thinking it'll be cool. We'll see what happens. The CG sucked when I first saw it... I just hope they were able to touch it up even more for the final version. Doubt it though...
The toys still suck. WTF.
-
The local paper gave it 1 star...
I was really not ever going to see it after reading somewhere that the President of Marvel said something to the effect of:
"we'll make 200 million just of the comic geeks, it's a no lose situation"
Bastage, no way in heck am I going to pay to see this dreck in a theater
And, I hope Target, Wally World and TRU choke on the craptacular amount of merchandise they are trucking in...idiots
-
We have 2 local newspapers. Out of 5 stars, the Sun gave it a 1 1/2 & the Journal gave it a 3 1/2.
I'll wait till I can download it off the net. Cheaper that way. ;)
-
After hearing about 90% negative reviews and opinions from the general public after seeing the trailers (mostly due to the overwhelming CGI), I've surprisingly been hearing mostly very positive reviews so far from the media, critics, and reviewers over the past several days. Even two thumbs up from Ebert and Roeper (not that that's saying much). Weird.
So perhaps despite the CGI, it at least has a good storyline and some decent acting in it. We'll see... Not sure if I'll be catching it in theaters or not. Haven't decided yet, but since it's one of those big budget, special effects driven movies, we probably will go check it out. Just not right away.
So did you see it yet LJ? What'd you think?
-
And, I hope Target, Wally World and TRU choke on the craptacular amount of merchandise they are trucking in...idiots
I swear this is the most merchandised movie I have ever seen. I know SW is beaten to death in a movie year, but there's never been anything like this that I can recall. All our retailers up here have scads of this stuff. From oreos to pudding, figures to life savers.
-
I'll see it at a matinee. Maybe next week. After negative reviews have knocked it down a peg or two.
I'm really not that interested in watching a larger, greener Jar Jar smash a bunch of tanks. I already saw the Ferris Bueller version of Godzilla a few years ago, so I know how it's going to go.
-
What I really want to know is...Does this guy make a cameo???
(http://www.jedidefender.com/news/images/6-03/bulk.jpg)
And do they end the movie with that oh so sad melody played at the end of the Hulk TV Show?
-
I'm going with a friend tonight to see it. I'm actually looking forward to seeing it. I could care less what the reviews say. Most of them aren't accurate at all, or even remotely close to being accurate.
Hey, if I remember correctly Roger Ebert of the Chicago Tribune slammed AOTC when it came out. So, hopefully the critics are wrong here.
-
Hey Scott, Looky, looky. ;)

Ok when I got home I was too tired to type, so forgive the late review. :D Anyways like I was saying I wasn't going in with high expectations, so I wasn't to dissapointed after the movie ended.
My first complaint was the way the movie played. For some reason Lee decided to switch scenes by way of lil boxes like a comic book. In fact he had scenes within scene. It would have been better for a few scenes, but throughout the movie it just got annoying.
The Hulk dogs were ok, but the hulk poodle was stupid.
Of course CGI Hulk eeded alot of work. At time e ws wel done, but alot of the rest of the time he just looked so fake, His running wastoofae looking, he shouldn' have ran so fast in the movie. I undesand the jumping prt, but the way he was runing reminded me of Yoda's scene in AOTC.
The whole story itself was too convoluted. The wasy he was given his power was ok, but then they started goig off on some weird angle with his father. It was jsut too much.
The action with the Hulk and the army was actually pretty sweet.
I have some points but I want to see what you all have to say, but I will say this I definately won't be adding this to my DVD collection.
Oh and note on the actual movie watching experience; down in front there were these two guys who brought in a baby with them. >:( I iimmediately saw trouble when I saw that they were deaf. And of course I was right they couldn't hear the baby whining, alot of people got up to tell the managment. I was pissed that I had to sit through most of the movie hearing the whining. And for some reason the theatre cretins didn't know what to do, like they were afraid to say something because they were deaf?? ::) I should have just left and asked for my money back. Why would people bring a baby to a theatre at a midnight showing???
Anyways how what did you all think of the movie??
-
I thought the movie was great! Saw it tonight before picking up Harry Potter with the wife, and I thought "Hulk" turned out to be a very good movie. I loved the scene transitions how it looked comic book like. I'm sorry you didn't like that Lady Jaye... I thought it was very cool & original. The CGI was spectacular IMO. The storyline was great.
Lady Jaye... there were a couple of kids or babies (couldn't tell which of the two they were) that were crying in my theater. I almost wonder if they were somehow thrown in the movie as background noise. I know that sounds insane, but in all my movie going times I have never heard a baby crying in the theater (and I'm 30 so that's a lot of movies I've seen).
Thumbs up for the "Hulk."
-
The scene transitions woul hav been better had they not been overused. It as a cool lil idea that got used too much. I'm glad you liked it though, maybe more will too, and they will make another one, one with a better story and better villain. ;)

Here's a story on CNN's website about Lou Ferrigno and the Hulk...
Original Hulk Ferrigno talks TV-inspired movie
Editor's Note: CNN Access is a regular feature on CNN.com providing interviews with newsmakers from around the world.
(CNN) --He appears in Hollywood's current blockbuster "The Hulk" playing a security guard. But to many fans, he is the original muscle-bound, bulging green man known as the Hulk.
Lou Ferrigno busted through his seams and onto the scene in 1977 in the television series "The Incredible Hulk" playing the not-so-jolly green giant.
CNN Anchor Kyra Phillips spoke to Ferrigno on Friday about the TV-inspired film.
KYRA PHILLIPS, CNN ANCHOR: Lou Ferrigno is live from Los Angeles and LIVE FROM got him. Lou, great to see you.
LOU FERRIGNO, ACTOR: You, too.
PHILLIPS: Well, tell us, what did you think of the movie?
FERRIGNO: I saw "The Hulk" premiere Tuesday night. Fantastic. It's action-packed. We've got the best director, a phenomenal cast and the best special effects.
PHILLIPS: Here we have a computer-generated Hulk, and not the human being. I mean, we all identified with you, and you could sign autographs, and you could make visits. What do you think about the technology versus the real person?
FERRIGNO: The real person is more human. The computer-generated Hulk is basically more toward the comic book version. So now you have more of the comic book version than in the live-action [TV show] "Hulk," which is being re-released on the DVD.
PHILLIPS: When you saw this, were you kind of thinking, gosh, I wish I could sort of do that again.
FERRIGNO: Well, I'd love to reprise the role of the Hulk, but apparently Universal decided to go with the special effect, computer generated.
PHILLIPS: We don't know why, Lou. We're ready to start a campaign to bring you back. What do you say?
FERRIGNO: I agree. Beginning of the campaign, I have my book here. It's on louferrigno.com July 1. "My Incredible Life as the Hulk" [includes] everything you want to know about the Hulk, about the movie, about Ang Lee and Stan Lee, and all of it is action-packed. So this is one of my new projects. I'm doing the "King of Queens." I have a recurring role ... I play the neighbor next door.
PHILLIPS: You also had a cameo in this movie, right?
FERRIGNO: Yes, I have a cameo with Stan Lee.
PHILLIPS: Aren't you a security guard?
FERRIGNO: Yes, I filmed a couple of scenes. I play the head of security. I'm leaving the building with Stan Lee. They worked me in the film.
PHILLIPS: I always wanted to know this question or the answer to this question. Who is your favorite superhero?
FERRIGNO: Believe it or not, it was really Superman and the Hulk.
PHILLIPS: Really?
FERRIGNO: I was an avid "The Hulk" comic book reader when I was young. I was basically the Hulk my whole life ... and I expressed all my innovation to the character, I loved playing the Hulk.
PHILLIPS: What do your kids think of the Hulk?
FERRIGNO: They love it. They're my biggest fans. But they know that, you know, their father is the Hulk, and they tried [emulating] me, working out, getting fit and staying in great shape.
Staying Hulked, bulked and buffed
PHILLIPS: Well, you know what, you bring up a very good point about staying in great shape. We started doing a little research on you. We all remember you, of course, from the series very well. And we came across this Web site. And I must say, look at you! Oh, my goodness!
FERRIGNO: That was only six years ago when I retired from competition again in 1995.
PHILLIPS: Wow! How often do you work out?
FERRIGNO: I train now five or six days a week to keep in shape. I've been a personal trainer for 25 years. I have a facility in California, and I see people from all walks of life.
PHILLIPS: Will you come out here and train me and my producer?
FERRIGNO: Definitely.
PHILLIPS: Because if I can look like this, wow! These pictures are unbelievable. Aren't you ever shy?
FERRIGNO: No. Not now, but maybe about 40 pounds lighter compared to the pictures. I'm 270, I'm still in my best shape.
PHILLIPS: Oh, my gosh. All right, well, what's next for you? You've obviously got this book out, you've got this active Web site.
FERRIGNO: And I'm looking at different scripts now and deciding what I'm going to do next.
PHILLIPS: Can you give us maybe a hint in what could be next?
FERRIGNO: I don't know entirely yet, but basically it has to do with comedy, because I love doing sitcoms, and I'd love to do a romantic comedy, especially [a] sitcom, because doing "The King of Queens" [is] something I'd like to branch out.
She-Hulk, you Hulk, we all Hulk
PHILLIPS: Not bad. Speaking of romantic comedy, here's a little more research that we did. We had no idea there was a She-Hulk. Did you know that?
FERRIGNO: No. They were going to do a "She-Hulk" years ago, but apparently it never surfaced.
PHILLIPS: All right, Lou, we got this picture now, OK? It's "The Savage She-Hulk." And she is just this gorgeous babe, she looks like you but a female. So we were wondering if you maybe had something going on that we didn't know about?
FERRIGNO: Not with She-Hulk, but apparently they will probably introduce it in the next two Hulk movies.
PHILLIPS: All right. Well, Lou, we sure appreciate you being us. we have to ask you one more question, though. Can you give us a roar? Can you just take us back?
FERRIGNO: Hulk smash, Hulk crash. I've done the voice for the Hulk for the animated cartoon.
PHILLIPS: All right. Lou Ferrigno. What a pleasure. Great to see you. You're looking just fantastic.
FERRIGNO: Thank you.

I saw the Hulk...it rocked! Great movie, great effects, I loved every minute of it!
