The CGI looks pretty bad, my wife goes why can't it look more real like King Kong or the Transformers. I have to agree with her, Hulk looks pretty fake on the screen. Maybe they have a hard time making the color green look real? Yes, and... No... It's a "mix" of factors... One reason it looks fake it's because, well, it IS! Is quite uncommon to see a giant green man in real life, but since it should "look" human (with human movements, expressions and human reactions), our eyes can "spot" what's wrong, this is the main reason why CGI actors still looks fake (ad they will need a looooot of time to looks real on the big and small screen), If you watch King Kong closely, you can see it will look fake too (fur and fast action scenes can "hide" that a little, but the close-ups are pretty "unforgiving"...), tranformers is another world, those are machines, so it's easier to make their "look" real, but as you can see the action scenes are all blurred and uber-fast (so, any potential "mistake" like intersecting parts and such is "disguised", yes, pun intented But there is another reason, do you remember the first ironman trailer, when he fires the small missile at the tank? That VFX was horrible, like a videogame, but the final version in the movie looks real, that's because it was a "work in progress", just to show something "tasty" to the audience, so, probably, the VFX in the movie will be more "refined" and Hulk will look more "real". But I'm really interested in the story this time, I have some faith in this movie (and I'm not even a Hulk fan! LOL You're so right about the missile scene where he blows up the tank, Ramiel. When I first saw that in the teaser, I had low expectations for the movie CGI, but the actual movie was very realistic looking. (Imo)

Possible SPOILER...nothing confirmed.
Okay, so there are already mixed reviews about this film. But what really bugs me is what I've heard Ed Norton saying about it.
He is reportedly boycotting the press tour because of what the producers wanted to cut from the film. Now, I can't remember where I heard this (superherohype.com or possibly Joblo.com), but I think he said that in the version he wanted released it was more a story about Banner and not the Hulk. The Hulk was just supposed to be a side-story to Bruce's turmoil. Basically, the story he pruposed was to be Emil Blonsky's hunt for Banner; and to draw him out (as well as his alter ego), Blonsky turns into the Abomination and starts to destroy the city. And the big battle at the end was supposed to be the only time we were to see the Hulk at all.
So, do you guys think this would be a better movie? Or do you think that Marvel is just beating a dead horse and should take the Hulk back to an hour-long TV series with sappy piano music at the end?

And just about everything will be green!Ken

I like Norton as an actor but he should just learn to take a step back and let the director and producers handle the film. The main reason the last Hulk film didn't connect with the kids is because they had to wait an hour to see him even show up in the film. Yeah, it's nice to have some character development in the film but at the same time I don't want to sit and watch 2 hours of Banner whining about being The Hulk. I want to see some sh*t tore up.

Agreed. That is kind of how the Hulk works, ya know? He gets mad and morphs into the corporeal form of his frustration. He needs to go a little mad and off the charts. Part of Norton's problem is that he supposedly wrote a lot of the final script and wants HIS vision shown. But as any screenwriter can tell you: what you write is rarely what is shot. Plain and simple.

I was never grown into the world of these comics but I had the chance to read some and I was really amazed. One thing that I don't like in general though about these comics is that everything starts from a simple well done and loved story. What happens afterwards is that the simple story is being complicated and transformed into a vast universe where some superheroes meet with each other, complicated stories are created and the whole result is a complete mess and a final headache. Ok, I accept and I agree that the writers are writing and they are trying to earn money, it's their job...but to me partially mixing a super hero's universe with an other one is just a simple way of extending the story without the essence of the first one. Examples: Hulk meets the Iron-Man, Hulk is sent to space because he is a villain, Fantastic four meet with X-men...A new Red Hulk is being created in order to boost sales, Batman R.I.P. etc. Now some people might say 'yeah this is cool' but I say that this is risky to destroy the initial image of the super-heroes. My opinion is: either you put them all in the same universe or earth from the beginning or you keep them in a separate universe. For example, the cartoon series 'The Legion of Superheroes' was nicely done because it assumed from the beginning that all the superheroes that were developed individually were in the same universe. I don't know if anyone of you believes the same as I do. I just wanted to express my concerns and beliefs. Comments and discussion more than welcome. Indygr But, actually, those heroes ARE in the same universe... Marvel characters have met each other a lot of times in the comics... Spidy have met the fantastic 4 when he was "possessed" by Venom symbiote for example, and Hulk and Ironman are two members of "the Avengers"... Same goes for DC characters (batman and Superman just to name the biggest)... I'm not a big fan of movies with DOZENS of charcters, and I prefer movies that can focus on THE character, but if they can handle it, I can't see why they shouldn't make these "cameos" (first, and then an "Avengers" movie...)

In germany we have two diffrent versions in the cinema. A friend watched the movie (version from 12 years old) and he was very astonished that this film was 23 minutes shorter than the version from 16 years.

Gale Anne Hurd on the Future of The Hulk www.superherohype.com/news/hulknews.php?id=7760MTV chatted with The Incredible Hulk producer Gale Anne Hurd, who said she has every intention on making a follow-up and that Edward Norton is signed on:
"It's all going to depend on the screenplay and where his character goes in any sequel, because he does have a multiple-picture deal," she said of Norton, who told us recently that he's waiting to hear from Marvel regarding Hulk's future. "[Norton's situation] is the same with every franchise like this, when you have one of the top actors of his generation."
But first, you're likely going to see him in The Avengers:
"Next, he's likely to appear in an 'Avengers' movie, but that's completely up to Marvel," she explained. "It's wonderful that Marvel now controls so many of their own characters, and they can create a Marvel universe in film and populate it with so many of their characters who naturally exist together. I think an 'Avengers' film is a very exciting prospect."

Tim Blake Nelson on The Leader in Hulk Sequel www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=50803Tim Blake Nelson, who played Dr. Samuel Sterns in The Incredible Hulk, tells Ain't It Cool News that the plan is for his character to become villain The Leader in a possible sequel:
Quint: Great well what about a potential HULK sequel? Gale Anne Hurd's been going around talking about how you might be The Leader and the main villain of the next one. Tim Blake Nelson: That's the plan. That's what they tell me, but I don't know when that's happening or what the details are but I am eager to do it and I hear that's in the works. I would tell you if I knew more, but I honestly don't.
Quint: Yeah, but you haven't played a comic-book villain yet right? Tim Blake Nelson: No, but I had a great time doing HULK, so if they want me for HULK 2 I'm there, it certainly was the plan going into HULK 1. When I met with them they said this is where it’s headed so I'm eager to do it.Ken
