Your 'Incredible Hulk' Questions Answered (Possibly!)

And here is the quote proving this movie will suck balls:

"unlike a normal movie where the final fight scene is six minutes long, ours is 26 minutes long! So you get 26 minutes of two monsters pummelling each other through New York City..."

Yeah, 26 minutes of no story, no character, no plot movement, just two CGI things hitting other CGI things like a giant, banal video game. Golly, why would anyone not love half an hour of 120 decibel destruction involving computer images?! That'll be amazing for the 4 people in the audience who couldn't get enough of the overly long final confrontation in Transformers. Hell, let's skip all plot, dialog, character development and exposition for 97 minutes of computer creations fighting in a computer generated landscape!!!

Idiocracy was right, eventually we will end up with a movie that's little more than someone's butt for 1.5 hours.

If you want the "character development" Hulk, just re-watch Ang Lee's (well, except the ending).

This one is the "Hulk smash" Hulk.

I agree with YouFace, this is going to be one of those endless boring blow up stuff for retarded teens who are not too demanding. I know one, will borrow the DVD as to not pay a cent to see this crap...26 minutes, give me a break, why not just the entire movie? Right off the bat start the destruction and continue with no dialog, just let the Hulk take a break to make out with the girl and then go back to destruction.
The basic problem is we have seen this over and over again.

They can't win when it comes to the Hulk. They put out a movie that's deep in character development, and people say it sucks. Now we see a new version that looks full of "Hulk Smash!" and and people are bitching that there's TOO much action. Chill. A 26 minute fight does seem like a bit much, who knows what's going to happen in the other 134 or so other minutes in the movie. It's hard to imagine a movie with Ed Norton playing a less-than-fleshed-out character. I'm taking a wait-and-see attitude.

Awful.
Sorry, just can't think of anything else to say..or ask...and I know you don't want me to ask: "Why will this movie be pure, unfiltered ass-crap?"
Because we all know it already and that may invalidate the meaningful existence of this post. (Which I don't want to do.)
So... Awful.

They can't validate the fact that they are still virgins and living at home unless they complain about things they haven't already seen. It removed some of the feeling of impotence from their lives.

Oh, and, yes! Someone else who references the mis-understood awesomeness that is Idiocracy. Ow, my balls is on!
It's what it's all coming to...

People are going to look at the Ang Lee Hulk as a masterpiece after this. Mark my words.

Does 26 minutes of action sound stupid? Of course. My question to you is "why does that matter"? There are plenty of intelligent, thought provoking movies out there. Frankly, most movies that are released shouldn't be in that vein. If they were you would never have time to actually dissect a film and fully understand it because you'd already be moving on to the next one. So whats wrong with sticking a meaningless, action packed popcorn movie in there that doesn't delve deeply into the human psyche or force us to question aspects of existence? Given the option I would much rather go see No Country for Old Men or The Diving Bell and the Butterfly then a movie like the Hulk, but guess what? Releasing the Hulk doesn't mean you can't see those movies! Its called choice people. This movie is what it is, its not striving to be more, so judge it on how well it achieves its objectives, not on the things that have nothing to do with its purpose.

I am looking forward to a lot of action and explosions in The Dark Knight, it's not like I want a deep thought provoking movie, just something that is not so fake and lame. The Hulk was great in comics but we have to open up to the possibility that it doesn't work in movies. There is something about a main character that is entirely CGI that just doesn't work, doesn't relate to my senses and I assure you it will be the same with Iron Man. We can't help but feel inside a Play Station environment instead of a movie.

How come his pants don't rip?

I can't quite put my finger on it - but I read this guys comments about his own film and they just sound...artless. Even a comic book movie can be made better by the director having a deep artistic instinct (Batman Begins anyone?) This guys sounds like a mix between a fanboy and a studio executive. Nothing he says about the film sounds inspired or like he was inspired by it. HULK DESERVE MORE! SMASH ARTLESS DIRECTOR!

Anyway, I hope he's telling the truth about the CGI not being done. The modeling for the Hulk doesn't look half bad -- but the lighting and texturing is all wrong. It has the same rushed-to-the-theater plastic look that so much CGI has. If they want to do it right they need his skin to look like skin - not like acrylic. It needs layers, depth of color, the feeling that he is made of meat - not just a hollow plastic shell.

Also - it is suffering from that CGI just not quite looking like it is part of the rest of the atmosphere. Something is a little off and needs tweaking.

Right now The Hulk is living squarely in the "Uncanny Valley" (Wikipedia has a decent article on the problem.)

I thought the trailer was cool.
