The T.V. spots for The Incredible Hulk have gone down very well so far but I’m not so keen on this latest – the fourth one to be released.
This one shows Bruce Banner’s (Edward Norton) transformation into The Incredible Hulk to the watching eyes of General Ross (William Hurt), the villain Emil Blonsky (Tim Roth) and his love interest Betty Ross (Liv Tyler). I’m presuming here but this seems to be the first time we and the other characters will see him as the Hulk.
The CGI doesn’t quite hold up as well with the Hulk in the daylight as it does at night time but there’s no doubt it looks 100 times better than Ang Lee’s version of the superhuman Marvel character. Also I would suggest that the visual effects guys have been working night and day since that very first trailer went out because you can see the character’s look has become more defined with a darker and fuller colour here.I still think… and especially with their desire to do future team-up movies, the best thing they would have done is make the Hulk a man in make-up or a suit but they didn’t do that and we have to live with it. It’s certainly more respectful to the comics to have him a larger than life monster but I just don’t know if it can hold our interest.
Can we really get behind a CGI superhero… well we did for Iron Man sure but Hulk’s a little harder to pull off. Just over two weeks to go until this monster is unleashed.

sorry—this looks SO awful, I don’t want to hear any more complaints about ‘how CGI’ Indiana Jones looks in parts. This is just ridiculous.
A man in a suit? …. What’s wrong with you? … I’ve never been a big fan of The Hulk but so far I rather see this than Lou Ferigno painted in green. Please.
A man in green paint, interacting in a real environment, could slip into our lizard brains as more “real” and emotionally relatable. CGI still seems “weightless” and is rubbery in action. As the technology improves, maybe that goes away. I’ll still go see Hulk and enjoy it, but I would have enjoyed man-in-green paint too.
What is real?
I’m pretty sure it’s harder to make CGI flesh look “real” enough as opposed to metal like they did with Iron Man.
