Video: “Incredible Hulk,” trailer two
posted at 2:35 pm on May 1, 2008 by Allahpundit
Better than trailer one, but it seems cookie cutter even by superhero movie standards. “Hero battles the military” sequence? Check. “Hero and nemesis wreak havoc on city” sequence? Check. Didn’t “Transformers” just do this? At least with “Iron Man” you’ve got Downey firing off one-liners to keep things moving. Those effects had better be darned special.

I think I was the only one on the planet who liked the first Hulk.
Mike Honcho on May 1, 2008 at 2:37 PM
No, it can’t be you; it’s me—I’m the only one.
FloatingRock on May 1, 2008 at 2:39 PM
If it’s anything like the last Hulk movie, I’ll be waiting for the Divx rip.
MadisonConservative on May 1, 2008 at 2:39 PM
No, I’m the only one who liked the first Hulk.
apollyonbob on May 1, 2008 at 2:41 PM
I think the storyline looks better than the first. I liked the first Hulk creature better, at least judging by the trailer and I think the cast for the second Hulk looks better.
Mr Orange, woohoo.
Geronimo on May 1, 2008 at 2:41 PM
Wow, a remake and a comic book movie, all in one. Way to go Hollywood
brak on May 1, 2008 at 2:43 PM
The first hulk sucked. Hulk had daddy issues? Come on. Hulk smash!
lorien1973 on May 1, 2008 at 2:46 PM
I’m glad they’ve recreated the Hulk depicted in the cartoon when I was growing up. Love Bill and Lou, however, they jaded the real Hulk (Lou never leaped 5 miles in a single bound0. Oh, by the way, I’M the only one who like the first Hulk
el hombre on May 1, 2008 at 2:46 PM
A little Doomsday Clock from the Smashing Pumpkins. Sweet.
ReaganEvangelical on May 1, 2008 at 2:49 PM
So, is this a remake of the movie from a couple of years ago, which was a remake of a comic book/TV show? Or is this Hulk II, a sequel to a remake of a comic book/TV show?
Keep churning out the crap, Hollywood. I’ll continue to not watch it.
Badger in KC on May 1, 2008 at 2:52 PM
The first Hulk made me hate Ang lee. Then that movie with the sheepherders pretending to be cowboys was the straw that . . uh nevermind.

MirCat on May 1, 2008 at 2:57 PM
Well, I’ll actually admit that it looked horribly cheesy to me, and I never saw it even though I generally watch superhero movies.
Esthier on May 1, 2008 at 2:57 PM
The first Hulk was better than Transformers. Transformers wasn’t like either the comic books or cartoon. Instead it was a dumb comedy with no compelling story line.
G.I. Joe looks like it’s going to be awfully sucky too. A Real American Hero? Hell there’s hardly an American in the cast.
Mike Honcho on May 1, 2008 at 3:06 PM
Speaking of big, green guys that destroys things, can anyone access Ace’s site?
amerpundit on May 1, 2008 at 3:07 PM
It’s a sequel/reboot of the Ang Lee movie. Marvel bought back the rights. It’s technically a sequel but they are pretty much ignoring most of the events of the first movie.
Queasy on May 1, 2008 at 3:09 PM
So kinda like the newest Superman?
Esthier on May 1, 2008 at 3:10 PM
Agreed with most of the commenters…The first movie was horrible. The CGI Hulk wasn’t even done well.
Computer animation has come a long way…and many times looks really great. But the Hulk lacks something with it, much like the CGI Yoda in the last three Star Wars. Yoda was better as a puppet…more tangible and life-like.
JetBoy on May 1, 2008 at 3:11 PM
That doesn’t look like Abomination at all.
SouthernDem on May 1, 2008 at 3:12 PM
The big question is: Will there be Gamma-Powered Monster Poodles in this one? Because I think I can safely say that the higher the GPMP quotient, the more sucky the movie. Exhibit A: the previous Hulk movie.
ReubenJCogburn on May 1, 2008 at 3:14 PM
Glad to know that I am not alone. I liked the first one. Guess I like a little too much thought put into certain movies. The first was based more around the comics.
This new one appears to be more in the vein of the schlocky TV show many of us grew up with. The idea of the man on the run (which is where the first movie ended)is a good place to pick up.
Perhaps a better villain in this one will help, though the Abomination looks nothing like what I remember (more reptilian). Looks like a reject from a zombie movie on steroids.
ej_pez on May 1, 2008 at 3:16 PM
My prediction: Hulk will be found wanting once IRONMAN hits the screen this weekend!
Dread Pirate Roberts VI on May 1, 2008 at 3:20 PM
So, no one objects to all the American soldiers being killed?
Anyway, what are US Army sodiers doing still wearing BDU’s?
And Hollywood thinks 4 out of 5 Generals are Black…
…Pass
pseudonominus on May 1, 2008 at 3:23 PM
They’re making a sequel to an awful movie that bombed at the box office? Hollywood truly has run out of ideas. The first Hulk sucked- I think it was on cable about 14 seconds after being released in theaters.
The cartoonish CGI nonsense has got to stop- if it’s painfully obvious that it’s CGI, keep it the hell out of the damn movie unless it’s a movie about CGI or animated.
Hollowpoint on May 1, 2008 at 3:26 PM
I will probably see this, and yes the first Hulk movie did in fact suck. But IRONMAN and Dark Knight look waaaaayyyy better than this.
saltydogg14 on May 1, 2008 at 3:29 PM
Because there are lots of surplus.
Ortzinator on May 1, 2008 at 3:30 PM
It still looks super fake.
How does Barry Obama feel about it?
benrand on May 1, 2008 at 3:31 PM
I love any kind of sci-fi movies but;
Why is it alway’s an evil United States Military Bio-Weapon
system gone done bad,and to boot they make a good monster
Hulk,who snaps!
Then they make another monster and surprise it goes astray,
then they get good monster to straighten out bad monster!
So,I’m to conclude this is what happenes when Liberal’s are
running the show,as in its a constant screw up with the
Military!
Looks like a good movie,tho!
canopfor on May 1, 2008 at 3:33 PM
Iron Man previews get me legitimately fired up to see the movie.
This… eh… not so much.
Sugar Land on May 1, 2008 at 3:34 PM
There are a couple villains (not in this movie) who were created by the Soviet Union.
And some were even created by Canada.
Esthier on May 1, 2008 at 3:39 PM
Bob and Doug McKenzie, eh? Take off, you hoser!
pseudonominus on May 1, 2008 at 3:46 PM
If you watch any superhero movie or read any comic book in general, it’s a staple that the military/police will eventually try to capture the hero, try to re-create the heros powers, get in the way or be overall useless in general.
I can see where you would see that as a negative commentary on the military/armed forces/police, but also in the concept of superhero movies, you can’t have a superhero that gets bested by “average people with guns” (for lack of a better descripting term) it destroys the myth of how powerful a superhero should be.
It’s fantasy. We all know our military kicks ass.
Pcoop on May 1, 2008 at 3:50 PM
Hulk: Liv Tyler
Iron Man: Gwynneth Paltrow
I know which movie I’m going to see….
Anton on May 1, 2008 at 3:51 PM
I can’t. Can’t access Protein Wisdom either. With two of the three best Right-thinking blogs down I’m starting to get the shakes.
Oh, and Hulk the First was cool, but not great and this new one looks like crap. Gonna see Iron Man tonight. Should be good.
The Apologist on May 1, 2008 at 4:01 PM
Wait! At :28 in, isn’t that Exidor? Yeah, I know . . . showing my age.
srhoades on May 1, 2008 at 4:05 PM
Boys, boys! You’re all wrong.
Nobody liked Ang Lee’s Hulk.
Because it was crap!
Kensington on May 1, 2008 at 4:11 PM
It will be one-third too long. There will be too much CGI. I will know this beforehand. And I will go anyway. To a bargain matinee.
MarkJudge on May 1, 2008 at 4:22 PM
Ace & PW are on the same server, which i didn’t know until they both went down sometime within the last month or so with a massive hard drive problem. Pixy Misa said there might be some “hiccups” in transitioning to a new server. I’m hoping that’s what’s goin’ on.
Karl on May 1, 2008 at 4:23 PM
And some were even created by Canada!
Esthier on May,1 2008 at 3:39PM.
Esthier: Canadian villians? Actors or Bio-Weapons
If we have a Bio-Weapon program in Canada,
I’ll be stunned!
canopfor on May 1, 2008 at 4:23 PM
And Ang Lee’s Hulk is not a bad movie. It is, however, not a good Hulk movie.
Karl on May 1, 2008 at 4:27 PM
Weapon X and his original team… they might not have been villains. I’m sure someone here will correct me if I’m wrong here.
They did get the whole “playing God” stigma.
Esthier on May 1, 2008 at 4:30 PM
With 16 seconds to go it looks like the Hulk is sitting with a girl. Just sitting.
It’s less than half a second long.
DeathtotheSwiss on May 1, 2008 at 4:33 PM
On the bright side, both Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury and Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Ironman are supposed to be making cameos in this movie.
Queasy on May 1, 2008 at 4:38 PM
The reason that there aren’t many Americans in the cast of the upcoming G.I. Joe movie is b/c the soldiers are part of the Global Intergrated Joint Operating Entity. Basically UN retards. And the villian is one of those scary guys from Scotland that are always being profiled at airports. I have an article somewhere about the orgins of the G.I. JOE toy and how the marine it was based on wouldn’t take any money for his likeness as long the toy would always be an American. If I can find the article, I’ll come back with a link. It’s worth the read.
marty0378 on May 1, 2008 at 4:58 PM
Can’t link for some reason. Just google Mitchell Paige and read the article in the Review Journal.
marty0378 on May 1, 2008 at 5:14 PM
Academy Awards all around! Best Picture, Best Actor, Best CGI, Best Screen Play, Best…Best…Best…Lifetime Achievement Award….
sabbott on May 1, 2008 at 5:26 PM
I feel like I’m in the Twilight Zone when it comes to that movie for some reason. Some seem to hate it because they think it’s too cerebral. Other people seem to love it because they think it’s more thoughtful than just a “HULK SMASH!!!” film.
But me, I hate it because I think it is too much a “HULK SMASH” kind of film. I wish it were more cerebral and thoughtful, but it’s attempts at being so just seem really shallow and one-dimensional. I wish the characters were more believable and had more intelligent relationships. As it is, I just think it’s very superficial and childish.
Kensington on May 1, 2008 at 5:30 PM
I think I’m losing interest in comic book movies. I read some reports on this one that things did not go well behind the scenes for the production staff, and that it’s unlikely it’ll make that many waves.
Avi Green on May 1, 2008 at 5:36 PM
Is it just me or do the special effects look distinctly bad, circa 1998? There’s not one shot of the hulk in the trailer that looks real.
John on May 1, 2008 at 5:56 PM
The first Hulk movie sucked azz, this one’ll prolly suck too. When American soldiers are the ‘bad guys’ and you’re supposed to cheer when they get killed, it’s anti-military propaganda and I won’t pay to see the movie and fund the Left’s hatred of those who defend us.
Hey Hollywood, here’s an idea for a movie … “Lone Survivor” … it’s a TRUE STORY about four Navy SeALs taking on a hundred talibs. It’s got the underdog theme, it’s got bad guys who are sexist, racist, homophobic and religious fanatics, what more could you ask for?
Tony737 on May 1, 2008 at 5:58 PM
“Lone Survivor”
Tony737 on May 1,2008 at 5:58PM.
Tony737: Tony,have you ever seen a real navy seal mission
stories,either Discover channel or History channel
I seen it once,but can’t seem to find it!
It was about a frieghter coming out of the Middle
East,with the 3rd. most wanted terrorist.
It was shadowed by a destoyer and submarine,
Navy Seal strike team were on their way to board.
Fifteen minutes to target,and Bill Clinton refused
to sign the order,months of tracking this guy,the
cost of US Military assets,have you seen this one?

Not exactly what you’re looking for, but close. And just a damn good picture, if I say so myself.
Asher on May 1, 2008 at 7:13 PM
Jon Voight was on Glenn Beck’s show a couple of weeks ago, and said they’re in the early stages of making that very movie. Putting the project together, that is.
bikermailman on May 1, 2008 at 7:18 PM
Hated the first movie, wiling to give Ed a shot at the role.
RobertInAustin on May 1, 2008 at 7:31 PM
Dude, Ed Norton sucks a**. That slimy little cretin needs to stick with serial killer movies…I can’t stand him. Every time I watch one of his movies, I feel like I need a shower. Best part of the Italian job was when Marky mark punched him in the face; and when that Russian dude carried him off for junkyard beatings…now if the Hulk like accidentally sat on Ed Norton, I might be tempted to watch it…but as the Hulk..nah. Pass.
austinnelly on May 1, 2008 at 8:44 PM
Sorry, but it can’t be the Hulk unless it’s Lou Ferrigno.
otcconan on May 1, 2008 at 9:48 PM
have you seen this one? –
canopfor
Sorry, can’t say that I have, but no big shocker that Klinton would do that.
Tony737 on May 1, 2008 at 11:49 PM
Jon Voight was on Glenn Beck’s show a couple of weeks ago, and said they’re in the early stages of making that very movie. – Biker
Cool! I’m glad Voight’s in it, I wonder who will play Marcus Luttrell and Micheal Murphy?
Tony737 on May 1, 2008 at 11:52 PM
OK…whatevs…there are two of you.
Jaibones on May 2, 2008 at 1:03 AM
Tim Roth for the win.
Reaps on May 2, 2008 at 3:20 AM
I say we gamma-irradiate the entire cast of Reservoir Dogs and reboot that. Hulk-Blonde vs. Hulk-Orange would rule.
P.S. Ang Lee’s Hulk sucked all the ass on the donkey ranch. Before you jump in to defend it as “too cerebral” for me, consider two small words:
Hulk Poodles.
saint kansas on May 2, 2008 at 7:24 AM
At least it can’t be all bad. I mean, it’s got Edward Norton AND Tim Roth. (Oh, and Liv Tyler doesn’t hurt either…)
Mercutio on May 2, 2008 at 9:08 AM
I’m with Tony737 on this.
