That's right! And it doesn't appear to be a sequel! I never got into the Hulk comic books, although I did read my fair share of X-Men, Spiderman, and The Punisher comics back in the mid eighties to mid nineties . Comics just got too cost prohibitive & as much as I enjoyed them I couldn't see paying three or four bucks for something that once cost me fifty to seventy-five cents. Yeah that's old man syndrome comparing the cost of something now to twenty years ago but deal with it, I'm getting old. Ok, back on track.
I was excited for the original Hulk movie, because it was Marvel. To say it disappointed me badly is an understatement. The weird cut scenes, Eric Bana's tepid performance, Nick Nolte not even acting because he is that fucking insane. It was a lackluster summer blockbuster to say the least. Eventually those shits in Hollywood are going to figure out that special effects do not a movie make. Well they don't care about that M, they care about money.
So anyhow, I go to yahoo and see "The Incredible Hulk" has a new trailer. So I check it out expecting Eric, Sam, Jennifer, and everyone else trying to salvage a franchise that doesn't need salvaged.
whoa
Edward Norton is the perfect choice for Bruce Banner. He's tall and lanky, and (sorry Ed) kind of geeky looking. After watching the trailer I must say my hopes are actually high for this. Granted it has Liv Tyler in it, as she is a mediocre actress at best. The casting of Tim Roth as the Hulk's nemesis Abomination. I know the CGI fight scenes don't actually have Norton and Roth in them but Roth can come off as a serious bastard when needs be, look at the performances he gave in Rob Roy and Hoodlum. Yea they were both crappy movies but he was nominated for an Oscar for Rob Roy. Yes I realize that the Academy Awards is just Hollywood sucking their own dick but he was still good.
Well that's my rant on the Hulk movie. I swerved off course a few times but I'm known to do that from time to time.
HERE'S TEH TRAILER! (for the 3 people that read this!)
