Alright, here we go. Yet another comic book movie. This one carries a little extra baggage however than the average comic book movie, especially when you consider how bad the first one bombed. Hulk was stern though and had a lot of ammo backing his vie for the making of Hulk 2, and it looks like he has finally gotten his way (with A-list actors to boot).
If you haven’t heard, the long awaited trailer for the new and supposedly improved ‘The Incredible Hulk’ movie aired this week on MTV. First I have to clear the air by saying that I absolutely love the actors involved. My thumbs are up all the way around when you are talking about Edward Norton, Tim Roth and Liv Tyler. So, that gives me a lot of hope. However, just judging by the visuals so far, it seems like a lot of hard candy without much of anything chewy in the middle. The looming question is, when will these movies reach the saturation point? What does it take to satiate the appetite of this seemingly rabid fan base? It just seems like a kind of pointless exercise in, ‘my effects are bigger than your effects’. When actors like Norton get involved all the way down to producing and screenwriting it makes you curious. Maybe it will be good.
You can watch the trailer now in HD at The Incredible Hulk website and decide for yourself. I guess we will just have to wait and see.
