New Images from "The Incredible Hulk"

*cqb101* · 12-28-2007, 10:21 AM

Not much, but Norton seems to fit the role better than I thought he would.

*ZariusTwo* · 12-28-2007, 11:22 AM

HOLY SH*T!

What a nod to Kenneth Johnson!

I'm not much of a Hulk guy.... Who is Kenneth Johnson, and why is this so awesome?

Yeesh

Johnson (the creator of V) developed the Bill Bixby Incredible Hulk teleivision series, Banner's origin here mimics EXACTLY the same origin in the pilot episode

*Spitfire* · 12-28-2007, 02:03 PM

I like Norton alot so I might see this just because he's in it.

Ah, gotcha. I wasn't sure who Johnson was.

I'm curious to see how this movie turns out. I thought the last one was pretty decent, not great, but decent. Hopefully this one will be at least as good.

*KROW* · 12-28-2007, 02:53 PM

I hope that machine is more like a gamma scanner of some kind and not a mimicry of Hulk's origin like in the TV show. I never liked Hulk's origin in the series, preferring the bomb-test-in-the-desert one. I do like Norton as Banner, though.

Who can tell me who is writing and who is directing this movie? I love Edward Norton's acting, and am a firm believer that a movie with him starring as Bruce Banner has huge potential.

*J Legault* · 12-28-2007, 03:17 PM

The first one had a major script problem in my opinion. Making the film fall under the definition for "decent".

I'm not hopping for the sequal to be even better. Since I'm not part of the Hulk Fan Base. But we'll see if it's an improvement or another box office failure.

I remenber a lot of people complained that the CGI Hulk wasn't too detailed.

It was intially Zakk Penn, but Edward Norton himself complete rewrote it.

Although that's fine for comics, it's stupendously stupid for movies.

*Mr._Mutant_Man* · 12-29-2007, 01:49 PM

I think Hulk (2003) would have been better off with the simple bomb test origin than the convoluted one they came up with.

Is it just me, or does Edward Norton seem to be kind of a control freak?

I'm probably one of few people who liked HULK, so I'm really looking forward to this. I've always been a huge Hulk fan, so I'll probably like it either way.

I enjoyed it, too. I think the movie is just misunderstood by most.

*Brodie* · 12-29-2007, 02:12 PM

I enjoyed Hulk as well, but I'm a huge Norton fan.....SO I'm pumped, especially with my new found respect for Hulk that I got with Planet Hulk.

*ZariusTwo* · 12-29-2007, 02:26 PM

Ang Lee's Hulk is more for comic fans who like Peter David's psychological route, it's NOT a good idea for a first film whatsoever, but it's perfect for a sequel.

*Spike Spiegel* · 12-29-2007, 05:33 PM

I grew up watching reruns of the old TV show...especially the pilot episode...I about fainted when I saw those images.

WOW....I really want to see this movie.

*Mecha Cow* · 12-29-2007, 05:37 PM

This thread inspired me to watch Ang Lee's film again. I still think it's awesome (and has some really nice effects), but I suppose I could understand why some people would be turned off by it.

The movie doesn't really need a sequel though, so I'm OK with this new one being a semi-reboot. It will be interesting to see another, different film interpretation, and I think Hulk fans should consider themselves lucky.

*Brodie* · 12-29-2007, 06:08 PM

I was reading an interview with the director of the next one...He said the first one was more poetic, and Hulk seemed to have no weight.

He also said his version is dirty, and gritty. AKA, normal Hulk.

I think the problem is that most people expected an all out action movie. However the action scenes and the Hulk CGI were pretty impressive IMO. Still, I think the movie ran a little too long. As much as I enjoyed it in theaters, it's kind of hard to re watch it, all at once anyway.

*Cure* · 12-30-2007, 01:18 PM

I'm with Brodie. I liked the first film, but Edward Norton is one of my favorite actors, so I'm super pumped for this.

I got into the habbit back in 1992 or 93' when I was little. I would like to thank my 2 year older cousin for getting me in the habbit. 2001 was when I revised my knowledge on TMNT. And today I'm a bigger fan than I was years ago. I have all 3 TMNT Movies, current Toon, and old school Toon on DVD.
