The Incredible Hulk Movie Trailer #2

Posted on Wednesday, April 30th, 2008 by Hunter Stephenson

It all comes down to this new trailer for The Incredible Hulk, with the Marvel reboot’s release on June 13th fast approaching and its positioning as the caboose of summer superhero flicks pretty much a lock as far as expectations and buzz go. This second trailer is far more well-rounded than the first in my opinion, which mounted everything on the Hulk’s rather predictable-looking end battle with Abomination. Moreover, there is a nice amount of fresh and promising footage with the Hulk and with Edward Norton here, the latter of which has an agreeably slick general blockbuster Bourne-like feel to it.

We also get more Liv Tyler in various states of pouting duress and awe, which somehow makes it more interesting. And the Hulk’s new intro satisfactorily plays up the character’s proportion to his surroundings and is well-lit, which nicely contrasts with the dimness and grimness of trailers The Dark Knight and Hellboy 2. Overthinking much? Mebbs. However, are shots of the Hulk smashing cars and helicopters enough to push its grosses past Ang Lee’s flick? And I still can’t decide whether the Hulk still looks “fake” as so many fanboys like to shake their fists to.

You can also watch the trailer in High Definition on Apple.com. The Incredible Hulk hits theaters on June 13th.

Discuss: What are your impressions of the new trailer for The Incredible Hulk? Does the film still rank last in your anticipation for this summer’s comic book flicks after viewing this? Might it be a hit after all is said and done?

It was funny i saw the video uploaded when i was working today it was a nice treat.

ck

this trailer is way better than the last one, it might be good but still wary obviously. Ive never really been a fan of cgi heavy movies

fanboy d

that looks...incredible. i wish this was the first thing we saw of the film, the teaser was far less polished. and the scale of this thing looks suitably impressive.

CK

I love CGI heavy movies...Heck..I don't even like having human voice actors. Gimme a completely CGI movie, with digitally synthesized voices and written by SkyNet and I'll plunk down my twelve bucks to see it

Donivan

Looks better than the first.Might be a surprise hit and box bigger than expected.

Roderick

I liked the new trailer, and I also liked the last touch, the TV series music melody, did anyone notice or I'm the only one old enough to remember??

estrus

Holy craptastic that stunk. After this, the stupid Hulk will be gone from Hollywood forever. Didn't they learn their lesson the first time?

USvsIreland

Seriously!!?!?

How "REAL" can you make a 12 foot green monster look?

ugh_doom

After seeing that trailer, the only way you could get me in to see that film is the promise of a Liv Tyler wet-tshirt scene.

Dan

I got more enjoyment out of watching the camera phone bootleg of the new Dark Knight trailer, than that. I think this is or Speed Racer is going to be the biggest disapointment of the summer.

Brody

Sooooooo anyways, moving back to The Dark Knight.....LOL

gah

I really like that. Can't wait.

The Addict

I liked the trailer until I heard the music from the TV show. They're trying to make it a remake of the TV show, rather than making it an adaptation of the source materials and that's bothering me.

kfizz

That is the little interlude at the start right.

xetra

I like this one.

Bigmansmallmouth

that gets me a lot more stoked than the last one did. Oh and the tiny snippet of the old school theme song is an interesting nod at the end. But yeah I like that trailer more and I think people will dig it more with the amount of action that's added, plus showing the conflict between Banner and Blonsky.

GregoryV

WOW....the trailers so much better than the previous, cant wait to see it on DVD.

orange cinema

i think its only fair that i admit i have been one of the people saying this will be a big YAWN, however...that trailer has changed my mind. This new trailer makes it look very very cool, and i will now go out of my way to see it, whereas before, i was only going to check it out, whenever. very nice mr norton, very nice!

dan

GODDAMMIT! Why did this have to look somewhat cool now!?

Ugh, now i'm a band waggon jumper =(

giantman

I'm still not exactly sold on this one, but I also can't really understand the level of "hate" this movie seems to be generating on-line. I say "on-line" because out in the real world (if anyone even knows about it) the interest seems to be the opposite. I hold to my original opinion, if this movie is good and entertaining it'll do decent business, if not, then it will suck ass. That should be a duh opinion, obviously, but I think word-of-mouth is going to make or break this one. Especially since I didn't see one giant robot in the trailer.

Sauce

This one is a lot better. I think this movie could work (at the box office) if it were released later in summer when things aren't so jam packed. But that should have happened well before now...
That said, it's still on the second tier of movies I'm seeing this summer. Sorry Edward.

Ya think this might have worked better if they marketed this as a Mysterious/Action type film (see Cloverfield), kept it under some wraps that this was a Hulk movie, made us wonder what the crap was going on, then Bam! The end of the First full trailer showed us an amazing Hulk kicking butt?

This movie since it's coming so soon after the last Hulk, it feels like this is a do over and people are skeptical. I know I am. But if they didn't tell us, worked up some mystery hype, then Bam! a big bold confident Hulk appears. It would have worked better for me.

dan

ok wait, Nortan has some damn hairy armpits.

Joe

looks awesome

Captain Awesome

Waiting for DVD.

Captain Awesome

God damn "enter" button...

But yeah this trailer hasn't changed anything. The CG in this movie is horrible. When it should be the main focal point. It's about giant CG muscular guys right?

The special effects just look really bad. Very plastic and videogame-like.

Ghost

Can't wait to see it.

TONY

When he's making love to betty, he should hulk out. THAT would be worth watching

Ghost

I gotta say personally I love the style and look of the Hulk. I do agree that he's not green enough but then again look at Mr. Jolly Green Giant in Ang Lee's version. They should have just done the grey version of him but I love the look. Boohoo to those that wanted to see CG Ed Norton in super steroid buff mode.

Stev

The CGI still looks terrible. Pass.

Quenfis

*Slaps some High-Fives to the Nay-Sayers* So, guess I still have my Shit goggles on, cause' that was a crap fest. Sorry, but this is not winning me over. I guess I am ruined on this flick. I'll just sneak out and let the "that was better..." people have their time with casket.

Captain Awesome

Also, why do people keep calling this a do-over or some redo when they use the same characters Ang lee casted? Just that now we have "different' actors playing Ang Lee's characters. Minus Roth as the Abomination.

For a redo they sure did try to cast people who looked as close to Sam Elliot and Jennifer Connolly as possible. They need to push Hulk's design in film. He still looks too "safe" in terms of design and look.

Give him more of a scarier, Frankenstein-esque, feel. Instead of making him look like an overly-muscular, green, George Lopez.

Quenfis

I hope Hulk does his "white people think tomatos and onions are spicy" salsa routine in the movie. I loved Hulk in Sharkboy and Lavagirl. Maybe he'll do some voice work as a Chihuaha someday.

Matt

I liked it but the movie doesn't scream, "Must see."

Ben

I really wonder what would have happened if ILM did this movie again. Iron Man's effects look a million times better. That being said I think people should lighten up on this movie. I know Dark Knight is going to be a much better "film", I think this "movie" is going to deliver a boat load of awesome. I mean cmon that helicopter crap was sweet.

David

I am more excited than before, I way dug that trailer.

And I can't imagine the CGI bothering anyone. it looks just fine. Even if it didn't, I watch BSG and that ain't perfect CGI. Is the story worth watching? And it looks like a yes.

Ben

Oh yeah I forgot something! Like David said CGI doesnt really affect how good a movie is for me. Look at I Am Legend easily some of the worst effects for a big budget movie like that in a loooong time and that movie still was great and made a lot of bank. But than again it also had Will Smith.

Captain Awesome

Ben,

Just because a film makes a lot of money doesn't allow it to be put out of critcisms reach, or makes it good for that matter. For what it's worth I thought I Am Legend had the worst CG found in a big budget film, next to the Spider-Man films and the story sucked as badly as I, Robot.

I'm impressed that people will give the CG in this a pass when it rides on just that, the special effects.

Obviously this film was created in regards to people disliking the first films more "heady" emotional approach. So whats left? The special effects and of course they will be put under the microscope by some since they plan to basically created an all out-brawl film with this one.

Ben

Color me officially interested in this project now. Great trailer; much better than the first.

Lovely Lady L

OMG that looks awesome! I was down after the teaser but this trailer has got me way up hyped! Hard core action, baby, that's what I want to see.

CloverHulk

As a comic book artist, I liked the teaser trailer and I like this new one. It keeps the spirit of both the comics (which benefits the comics fans) and the old 70s t.v. series (which should benefit the general public who do not read the comics).
As for the c.g.i.?
Look, I know some are disappointed by the c.g.i. not looking as realistic as it could, but that's partly the point of movies like this. They do a movie, see what works, what doesn't, and do better next time. I thought the Hulk in the '03 Ang Lee version looked too goofy and made out of c.g.i. Playdo! This version looks much better and even though it could be better, I'm not gonna' look a gift horse in the mouth in regard to this flick.

HULK SMASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

estrus

What action? It looks like there will be a few 3 minute "hulk outs" then Banner runs off and is all emo for 20 minutes. Rinse and repeat until the rock-em-sock-em-brute climax battle, dropping in a hint to pickup in the sequel.

Dan

Holy crap! Now I'm really excited about this movie!

Meli

I rather liked the trailer and hope it translates into
a good movie.

artgood

Very nice. Nice nod with the TV tunes at the end.

evan

It looks great. My only question is this. If the government can produce Abomination, why do they need the Hulk?

starscream9289

Im more excited about Speed Racer than of this. At least in Speed Racer te CGI is supposed to look cartoonish but the CGI for this movie just looks too fake.

GO WATCH SPEED RACER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dontcallmewave

EVEN BETTER THAN THE FIRST TRAILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ben

I meant in terms or audiences man I wasn't saying just cause a movie makes a lot of money its great. I was just saying I've come to terms with the fact some movies will have great special effects and some wont. The Hulk throwing a piece of a tank into a helicopter might not look in any way real but theres something about it that makes me giddy. Not everything has to look perfect. I mean no movie with a ton of CG holds up in every place over time. Except T2 that is. Look at the Matrix Reloaded Burlyman Brawl. That stuff looks terrible now but watching it I still think it looks sweet.

jonny

That trailer just changed my mind.

Captain Awesome

"As a comic book artist"
