Actually it's airing on MTV, MTVU, MTV2, VH1, Spike TV, Nick at Nite and CMT. It'll air at 9:56 p.m. ET/6:56 p.m. PT and will then be on mtv.com (which is only available for viewing if you live in the U.S). Plus in theatres it's attached to Doomsday starting Friday.

I'll laugh if this Hulk bombs as well.
Anyone have a plot synopsis?

That monster is known in the comics as Abomination. He's one of the major Hulk enemies. But in the film he's just known as Blonsky (a former KGB agent turned monster) cuz Zak Penn thought the name Abomination was too silly.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abomination_%28comics%29

Quote:
Emil Blonsky is a KGB agent and spy who becomes the Abomination after deliberately exposing himself to the same gamma radiation (but in a greater quantity) that transforms Bruce Banner into the Hulk. Blonsky survives the radiation as he (like Bruce Banner) belongs to a small minority born with a genetic factor that causes mutation instead of death.
WTF kind of explination is that?!

So Norton gets to sit in the editing room and this Penn fool has to have his character re-named. This movie's going to officially suck worse than the Ang Lee pile.

Norton is Hulk. Tim Roth plays Emil Blonsky/Abomination. They've completly re-tooled the character. In the comics he looks like a huge mutant Lizard/Skrull thing but they changed it so that he's now just some brown thing with no pointy ears. He looks more like a giant skeleton or something. IMO it's not the TRUE Abomination so they've basically pissed off lots of Hulk fans.

This is the action figure of the movie version:

It's still a big monster. I don't see what the big deal is, as long as they don't radically change what the Hulk looks like.

I think it looks awesome. I think this summer might be the best summer for superhero movies since the first Spider-Man came out.

Meh. It looks nice enough, but a step down from the previous movie. I always preferred Hulk as more of a character study than another super hero, but I guess I'm in the minority. Oh well, I'll see it when it comes out.

What "there"? What are you even talking about? How can "there" do anything at all/ Being from the UK, I'd expect you to be able to speak your own language properly.

Also, I don't think anyone gives a sh*t what you think. Maybe it's just me.

Wow normally you guys are all over these bad comic adaptations. It's nice to see you agree with me in thinking it looks like crap.

At least this Hulk will have a good actor playing Banner, I like Norton a lot. I doubt I'll see it either way unless it gets some amazing reviews. I predict "Ghost Rider" all over again.

So there is only going to be 10 minutes of the Hulk in the film, and the rest will just be really bad acting? If that's the case, I at least want to see as much of Liv Tyler as we saw of Eva Mendez.

I guess other people might have info that I don't, but I thought it looked pretty good based on the trailer.
