Guest Lethargic Report post Posted January 24, 2003 You gotta see this. It's the new trailer for the Hulk and yeah the Hulk is in it. The thing is, you better check it out quick if you wanna see it. It's not supposed to be online until Sunday night. Somebody fooled around with their website and ended up finding it. So it might get moved soon. So hurry up. http://www.universalpictures.com/asx/hulk/...tv_300k_wmv.asx I know Hulk looks kinda fake in some of the clips and I know about all the stupid rumors about the movie, but I don't care. This looks kick ass. That shot of the Hulk spinning the tank around by the cannon rules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted January 24, 2003 Hulk definatly looks like the crack of ass. It's a good thing Jennifer Connely is hot to such an insane degree. Of course, that doesn't mean I'm going to see it either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest imajackoff? Report post Posted January 25, 2003 Ive had bad feelings about this flick since day one. That trailer does nothing to change them. Im still hoping for an entertaining movie come June. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Lethargic Report post Posted January 25, 2003 I don't think he looks anywhere near as fake as Spiderman and the Goblin looked. It looks 1000 times better than I thought it would. Here's a crystal clear screen cap of the Hulk and it looks really good. http://superherohype.com/news/jan03/hulkbig.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Report post Posted January 25, 2003 Guys, the reason Hulk looks fake is because you're watching it in crappy Windows Media format. Think about it, would Ang Lee, David Hayter, Jennifer Connelly, Nick Nolte, and Eric bana be involved in something they knew was crap? Would Marvel be so enthused about something they knew was crap when all of their movies since Blade have been home-runs? Whoever said Connelly is the only reason to see this is retarded. Really, you have a world-class director, actors, Bana looks and sounds *awesome*, the SFX look good for the stage of post-production they're at right now, and best of all, everyone on the this picture is treating this adaptation with RESPECT. The bullshit rumors have been flying but the bottom line is that this will be the most cerebral comic-book film of all time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest red_file Report post Posted January 25, 2003 Think about it, would Ang Lee, David Hayter, Jennifer Connelly, Nick Nolte, and Eric bana be involved in something they knew was crap? So, your argument is that these people are incapable of making a bad movie? Or that their choice in material is beyond reproach. I'm not saying that the movie will be good or bad (how can anyone before they actually see it?), but that argument is just silly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think about it, to get so many *world-class* actors, directors, crew, screenwriters, and effects people working on a project that is considered "lowbrow" or "childish" by many, you have to have SOMETHING worthwhile there.

Guest pochorenella Report post Posted January 25, 2003 I think this trailer rocked and cannot wait for the movie to open. The Hulk looks pretty good IMO, like Satanico said, as realistic as a giant green man can look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted January 25, 2003 Bah! I didn't say the movie would suck, (although I started laughing when you included Nick Nolte in your good actor list). I just said the CGIHulk looked crappy, Jennifer Connely is mega hot, and I don't now if I'll see it or not. These are 3 scientific facts you cannot deny or argue.

If he doesn't, it's because of your crappy Windows Media Player. (Get QUICKTIME) The face may need a little work, but remember they're still in post production, they're improving this as we speak. The body looks SPOT-ON. Nolte is an entertaining actor, you'd think a project would have to pretty good to get him working again after NIGHTWATCH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Lethargic Report post Posted January 25, 2003 Having Ang Lee, David Hayter, Jennifer Connelly, Nick Nolte and Eric Bana working on the movie is the #1 reason that I'm worried about the movie. A bunch of people that have never read a comic book in their lives, and have no respect for the source material, trying to make a comic book movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Sassquatch Report post Posted January 25, 2003 I'm only disappointed in the fact that someone like the Leader, the Abomination, Rhino, Absorbing Man, or the Wendigo was not cast for the movie since studios have the technology to make these guys look good as we have seen with the Hulk. Lethargic also echoes my sentiments in his last post about how this movie could go awry and just piss on the Hulk's character since no one out of the bunch is known to be familiar with the character. The only one who might have been familiar with the Hulk's character is Connelly since she is a comic book fan but I doubt she knew enough to make a difference in the movie. Personally, I think the Hulk movie looks like it will be better than the Daredevil movie which I have serious doubts about but I will still go out and see both.

Lethargic, David Hayter penned the scripts to X-Men, Watchmen, and X2. He *knows* how to adapt a comic-book. He's also Solid Snake, so I might be biased.

Guest DrTom Report post Posted January 26, 2003 Lethargic, David Hayter penned the scripts to X-Men, Watchmen, and X2. He *knows* how to adapt a comic-book. Please don't tell me you think the X-Men movie was a good adaptation of the comic book. It was a nice little mutant adventure movie, but it never really struck me as an X-Men movie. The plot was fairly ridiculous, even for something based on a comic book, some of the characterizations were spotty, and the dialog was inconsistent. It's entertaining, but it's not a good adaptation at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Lethargic Report post Posted January 26, 2003 There's a problem with your Hayter theory. The problem is that James Schamus wrote the movie, not David Hayter. Hayter has nothing to do with the movie at all besides doing a very early draft that was thrown out. So instead of the guy that wrote X-Men, it's written by the guy that wrote Ride with the Devil and The Ice Storm. Sorry, I didn't pay any attention to the Hayter part in my original reply. I just copied and pasted your list and didn't even think about it at the time. The only people that worked on the final script is Michael Frances, Michael Tokin and Schamus. Frances did the original draft, Tolkin then tweaked it and then when Ang came on board the project, he brought his own personal writeer, Schamus. Schamus then pretty much completely re-wrote it incorporating his and Ang's ideas into it. Frances said that it's been so changed from the original draft that he probably won't end up getting a screen credit for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's entertaining, but it's not a good adaptation at all. Considering the budget they had to work withg, it was an excellent encapzulziation of 40 years of comic history. Name one adaptation that was truer to the characters or had less of the camp that has plagued comic book movies since their inception. SUPERMAN: Had Otis and Tessmaucher, and completely ruined Luthor. BATMAN: Joker was hammy and uninteresting. Script never really knew what it wanted to be, veers wildly in tone and pace. None of the other comic-book films have characters nearly as iconic as X-MEN does. If you want to argue that it's a bad movie, fine. It has it's flaws. But don't doubt that it's an *excellent* adaptation. X-MEN is probobly the best adaptation of a comic-book ever made, (With the possible exception of THE CROW) and if you don't think so, you're wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mole Report post Posted January 27, 2003 I'm not a comic book fan so I know NOTHING about Hulk. But from seeing this trailer today, this movie looks dumb. Hulk looks like a fuckin cartoon character, and the idea looks retarted. So, whatever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Mole Report post Posted January 27, 2003 No it isn't the idea of the comic books is retarted, but the plot of the movie. I guess I used to wrong word. Lets say, looks dumb? I dunno, I guess it doesn't appeal to me. I won't go see it the night it comes out, I'll wait till I hear word of mouth. If it is good, then I'll see it. But I'm not getting all wet for the movie or anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Man, you don't need another superpowered character in that movie when you have the Hulk who is and always has been his own worst enemy. That is what makes the character so interesting, its someone who can out punch anything with a problem it can't punch! The Leader and Abmonination would delute the Hulk aura when Thunderbolt Ross would do just as well. And The Hulk isn't so deep that it takes years to understand him. Guy gets hit with radiation and now turns into a monster when he gets angry is all you really need. It will all be in the execution of that premise where the movie will succeed or not.
