    The Incredible Hulk... Looks poor...

    ...sorry but every trailer I've seen for this film just makes it look bad...
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives.

    same here, though when i say so people throw a **** fit going "but *whatshisname* was in fight club!?!"

    the first trailer gave away the entire movie, and what i saw was a 3rd rate movie compared to iron man or batman begins.

    It doesn't look like anything incredible(pun intended), but I think it will at the very least be an entertaining one-time popcorn flick like Iron Man. No way do I expect it to be as good as Batman Begins or Superman.

    edward norten. I dislike him alot, apparently, he was throwing his weight around to make sure it was the film *he* envisioned.

    so be happy if this is true, and the movie flops; he will be labled a twerp.

    From what I've read he had to fight with the producers because they kept messing with the script and it looks like he probably didn't push them hard enough.

    I've heard Norton can be a bit of an ass to work with, but I think he's a great actor. He finished American History X himself, so that definitely gives him filmmaking points in my book. I also thought Keeping the Faith was pretty good for what it is.

    I'm not even aware of this film. Something new to look into. I've genuinely enjoyed and appreciated his performances in everything I've seen him (that comes to mind). With that said, I could believe that he might be tough to work with, as you mentioned, Bassman.

    This Hulk movie however, has bomb written all over it

    First of all, It's gotta be better that Ang Lee's piece of crap. Second of all, Ed Norton and Tim Roth (two of my favorite actors)in the same movie is awesome!!

    I do have to say however that I am unimpressed with the Hulk's boyish looks. His face is all sensitive and human. Not nearly menacing enough

    just watched a preview for this and even though like clangee, i am a fan of both norton and roth, i really have lost any inclination to see this.

    another 20 foot tall CGI character with a ridiculous and almost comical looking physique and the face of a toddler? think i'll pass. bring back another lou ferigno-sized dude jumping through cheap sets and screaming his head off and i'd probably watch it. this really doesn't seem like that much of a departure from the last craptacular hulk film....so no thanks.

    officially off my radar.

    i thought the first movie was utter crap, so i see no real reason why this one will be any better. i agree with neil, everything i've seen about this movie looks poorly done.
