trailer for the upcoming "Incredible Hulk" movie that is to come out on June 13.

I find it odd that they make another adaptation so soon after the previous one (especially given that it did poorly). This one hasn't struck me strongly, so it will have to receive some rather glowing reviews for me to see it.

The only thing that stood out to me is the fact that Edward Norton is Bruce Banner. He's a great actor. However, I think I will still wait for some reviews.

They made this one because the previous one sucked horribly. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this one will be any better.

I have a lot of hope that since Norton I believe wrote the script as well as acted...this should be good.

It looks..........Ok the trailer was really good until they showed the hulk who still looked like shriek with a hair piece. The fx were not so good maybe thats only because of the views. It still looks leagues better than the first movie with sucked hardcore.

I saw this film tonight with my wife, we both thought it was pretty good, especially compared with the previous one.

The story and acting in this good was better done, and there was more of an emotional side to it in addition to the action.

There were a couple of parts that we felt did not flow as well plot-wise, but I will say no more since that would be a spoiler (or two).

I'd give it 7.5 out of 10.

Looks good.

I have to admit, I'm kind of curious as to how the parts that were shot here in town turned out. I'll wait for the review though before I decide on spending money on it.

I saw the midnight showing, and that would pretty much be my review as well. It was better than the first one, and Edward Norton and Liv Tyler were good.

Will She-Hulk be in this movie?

Probably not. She-Hulk is introduced later in the Hulk story.

I will see this movie because it has Edward Norton.

That's what my cousin said as well. Edward Norton really makes this movie good too.

the reviews say that the movie's pretty good, but it's not something incredible.

I am going to see it tomorrow. I hear its very well done. Joblo gave it really high marks. Then again, Norton is the man. So no shock.

Those reviewers should be punched in the face by the Hulk. I just finished seeing it and it was absolutely amazing, really just a top-notch movie all around. EXCEPT. The Stan Lee cameo. Okay Stan, they're not funny or amusing anymore, they're getting old. :\

I would have approved of the Stan Lee cameo had he done the same thing he did in that episode of Simpsons. "He's not the Hulk! I'M THE HULK! RAAAAWR!"

"I really did it once!"

Yeah, it was pretty fantastic. I thought the fights between The Hulk and the Abomination were great. Also, Tony Stark pulling a Nick Fury at the end was priceless. I hope they do that for every movie up until The Avengers film.

I loved the Lee cameo Nate! Shame on you! Quite frankly, the movie was great. To me, it was as good as Iron Man. And I loved that movie too. This is the Hulk movie we got screwed over for the first time around. Norton proves it once more, he is the man.

Great movie saw the midnight showing.Better than Iron man IMO

I haven't seen it but it LOOKS like a sell-out film.
The first Hulk movie was more focused on plot than kaboom kabang fighting.

There was very little action in the original Hulk movie, but alot of character development for the main character specifically.

It looks like this one is just trying to be as action-packed as possible so people will like it.

Are we supposed to pretend the first doesnt exist or is this a sequel?

I saw it opening night as well. I thought it was... ok (i havent seen ironman yet. so those saying hulk was as good as ironman, youre scaring me)

Is it me, or did "I am Legend" have more dialogue?

@TeeLay - pretend the first one didnt happen.

Wooo, it's awesome when people talk about something they know nothing about! :p Let me try. *ahem* Metalcore is stupid because all it is is people sounding like Cookie Monster while they try to play instruments and fail miserably because they have no musical talent.

Hey, that was great!

This movie had...what, three fight scenes, if I remember correctly? There was the one in the drink factory, the one at the college, and the final one against Abomination. I think that was it. "No character development" indeed. That's what you get for judging off of a 45 second trailer. Heck I could say that the movie Cloverfield was about an earthquake based on the original trailer they gave.

Are we supposed to pretend the first doesnt exist or is this a sequel?

Saj already said, but just to expound a bit, this is a reboot, much like Batman Begins was a reboot for the Batman franchise. So yeah, the first movie didn't happen.

EDIT: Also I don't know if I'd say this movie was better than Iron Man (Iron Man was pretty good), but it was at least as good as Iron Man.

The first movie was horrible and entirely missed the point of Hulk. It's one of the reasons that I am glad that Marvel has their own movie studio. (Now if they can only get the Spider-Man license back...)

This was a fun movie. Nothing fantastic, but good. I enjoyed Iron Man a whole lot more, though I was never a Hulk fan to begin with. Also, apparently there is over 70 minutes of footage from Edward Norton's script re-write that got cut. Supposedly it will be included on the Blu-ray release. Here's hoping.

Now THAT'S a special edition. *crosses fingers*

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention another reason this movie rocks. It had the sad walking away music from the Incredible Hulk TV show. That was epic win.

If you're trying to annoy me, it's not working.
I don't even like the genre of Metalcore that much with the exception of a few bands now so nice try.

And I have seen, enjoyed, and know a lot about the first film and my previous post was based off an assumption based on the 2 minute long trailer I saw.
If you want to be legalistic then fine. I saw a trailer for it longer than 45 seconds.

And thanks for the little information that you actually provided in your post that actually answered the question I had.

Thank You.

What was wrong with the first movie? The Hulk scenes in the first movie looked terribly out of place--which is a very bad thing considering that the movie is about the Hulk!!!

This version is way better because of the lack of navel contemplation. And two words: HULK SMASH.

And @Nate: The Stan Lee cameo couldn't be any more horrid than the one in Spider Man 3--

Stan Lee in the most awkwardly placed cameo ever wrote:It looks like one person CAN make a difference.

Yes, I agree, the Stan Lee cameo was way worse in Spider-Man 3. XD Actually to date the only Stan Lee cameos I've liked were in the first Spider-Man movie (you really had to look for him), and Iron Man.

Personally, I think the cameo in the second Fantastic Four movie was the worst.

Ah, the days when Stan Lee cameos were not forcefully shoved down our throats like medicine when we were kids.

I like to compare the Spider-Man 1 and 3 cameos and the difference is amazing.
Even in the first one, he doesn't get a line out and you actually have to search for him, he still manages to save the lives of small, innocent girls.

What a hero.
