Universal has released a new in theater behind the scenes first look preview of The Incredible Hulk. Unfortunately, most of the footage is already presented in the theatrical trailer, but the interview segments giving background on the production and story make it worth checking out. But like many others, I’m still wondering what kind of place Hulk will claim in a Summer already overcrowded with Superhero films.
Discuss: Is anyone actually excited to see the new Hulk movie?

I’m sort of surprised since this preview actually makes me want to see the film a lot more than the trailer did. I was hesitant, as I’m sure many were after Ang Lee’s Hulk, but this actually looks pretty awesome.

I would cast Edward Norton as anything. And then watch him in anything.
I would cast him in a Muhammed Ali biopic. In space. And it would win an Oscar.

I want this film to succeed sooo much, but I’m a little bit nervous. It’s a total cgi creature fighting another total cgi creature. Even in Transformers, the camera and story stayed focused on the humans.

I’m super stoked for this movie! I just wish more people were and that they would have done more promotion for the film, so more mass media would be excited about so we could maybe we could start talkin sequal!!!

Oh, god no. Seriously the show was great as it was. The Hulk shouldn’t be much taller than the a man. We’ve got King Kong for that.

As soon as I heard it’s trying to recreate the feeling of the tv show (my absolute favorite childhood program), I got a new level of excitement for this. Not only that, but Ed Norton is a better actor than Eric Bana any day of the week. Batman, Iron Man, Hellboy, and the Hulk in one summer. Could a fanboy ask for anything more?

I do like the more ripped Hulk. I didn’t love the first Hulk so I’m hoping that this will change that.

The hulk in the first movie was like a giant bubble that could pop :D

I’m excited to see this. It isn’t the movie I’m most excited for, but it is in the list. It makes for an interesting story, remaking this movie so soon after the last one. It is kind of a strange “Monday morning quarterback” situation isn’t it? Easy to see the mistakes in the last one and do something different, I’m very curious to see what happens.

I want to see it but just to see if they actually kinda stuck to the shows story.

The first movie being such a misfire (of all the great supervillians in the Marvel universe, Ang Lee pits Hulk against 1. a Hulked-out poodle and 2. his own father, who never existed in the comics) I suspect the segment of the movie-going public who likes superhero movies will eye this one cautiously.

The only thing that was incredible in this trailer was the size of Norton’s Adam’s Apple in the kissing scene with Liv. I’m still not blown away with this movie. It sounded good when it was pitched at Comic-con last year. But, I just don’t think Hulk translates well to film.

the movie is promising…if it weren’t THIS summer the anticipation would be a great deal higher i think, at least iron man level. universal are kinda crazy to release it the same year as tdk and indy…

I wouldn’t be mad if they pushed back the release date on this.
They need more time to market, and with all the buzz on batman, and iron man. This isn’t even on most folks radar.

The BIG problem I have with the trailer is the slo-mo punch at the end. Only the Hulk and Abomination are in slo-mo. The flames in the background move at normal speed.
I dunno why that catches me everytime but it does…

omg….Klinger i didnt see that the first time. IMO hulk is one of the all time greats. i am looking forward to the movie. i enjoyed ang lee’s version also but didnt like the villain either. i will be there opening night.

All the skeptism is unfounded. If batman started afresh and good, why not the hulk. I’m worried that they will dumb down the Hulk and Banner charactert on the basis of the first. Many thought the first to be to intelligent, what a load of crap. the reason it failed was because of its stupidity. generally good acting in Ang Lees version, but everything else was nonsence. I’m not sure Ang Lee had ever read a Hulk comic or seen the tv series. The TV movies created a Banner and Hulk one could relate to much more than the 2003 film. Hulk relates and is flawed in a way that batman does, I think he and batman play the opposite psychological and mythic roles than supes and spidey, where as the former draw on the primordial rage, angst and innerdemons manifest in all of us, the latter rel;ate as archetypal heroes to aspire to. thats why people related to Banner, he expressed the suppressed rage in us all. the irony that banner and hulk ultimates goals are to find peace, and yet it is because of the very existence of the other that neither can do so, is one of the most interesting and subtle psychologiocal dilemas explored in superhero mythology. The sense of lonilinesss and pathos in both is really interesting, especially because we know ultimately they are both good guys, and like ying and yang, the soul of hulk and why he is so heroic is banner, but it is also actually banners rage that fuels the hulk, not the obstacles that Hulk faces. By Ang Lee making banner enjoy becoming the Hulk was immediately going to lose the depth and humanity of the original character. which is why nobody related to him. it was awful, stupid, and it will be unfortunate if they dumb down Hulk again because the first film was to clever, apparently.
That’s all I have to say.
