Norton becomes Green with Envy

i think that the first hulk was great. iv’e followed the hulk since i was a kid in fact i wanted to be hulk. I think that there are too many dumb opinions of the 2003 hulk. ang did a great job and if those of you didn’t think so, then you puny you know what can stay puny and stick with spidermans skinny _ _ _!

The first one was excellent and the second one will hopefully be better…. What is the matter with all you ang lee/hulk haters out there? I hope good taste doesn’t bite you on the posterior for you shall be bewildered!!!!

hahahaha

I think this one will be great, but we must not expect too much, ‘couse we always get disapointments. (and she looks pregnant on the photos oO)

the first hulk movie suck becuz to much cgi and the only adversary hulk had to fight was his own dad!!! how crazy was that?? and mutant dogs besides the military sec. that hulk looked like a tall green hillbily all he needed is some overalls and say “howdy ya!!” and a pacifier in his mouth. and they did’nt need to have flash back of his life. the original hulk is gray an ugly, flat fore head from the 60’s marvel hour cartoon on tv I hope they make hulk gray this time. the hulk is about a.s.s. whumping and a touch humanity, if I wanted to see a tall green boy I’ll go to the supermarket and buy can of green giant corn ho-ho-ho just keeping it real

yes… the 1st hulk was pure psychological drama…. the monster dogs were from the comic. i actually enjoyed nick nolte’s performance as banner’s psycho dad. ( banner has a psycho dad in the comicbook, too) i think the problem with most comic book movie fans is that they are largely not fans of the comic book source material. when a movie comes along that based on a comic book that actually RESPECTS THE COMIC AS AN ART FORM AND NOT AS JUST AS AN EXCUSE TO MAKE A FRANCHISE OF MOVIES, then some fans are left confused. i do beliEve that ang lees’ HULK will stand the test of time. superhero movies are still mostly camp, and unfortunately most american audiences still have to catch up to a maturely done comic book movie. batman begins was the one of the first superhero movies done without camp or cliche that succeeded in the box-office. i am wondering how the adaptation of alan moore’s WATCHMEN will be received…

i am anticipating edward norton as banner/hulk, and tim roth as blonsky/abomination , but i was more than pleased with the 1st film…

Well for those of you concerned with the look and feel of the Hulk here’s the concept art from the new film:

I’m a full on Marvel Comics Fan who’s favorite character is Spiderman, but even as a fan I’m willing to be objective and say that 3 in that series did not hold up as well as the 1st two particularly the 2nd film. I say that to say that my opinion is not biased even with my most beloved character. I wanted to see them do no wrong with that character, but there WERE some mis-steps. On to The Incredible Hulk. I enjoyed alot of the aspects of The 1st Hulk film. I can appreciate that they tried to lift the story to someplace else with a strong emotional center etc. That being said I think people are severely underestimating how good this next film will probably be. Ed Norton is very picky about his roles in most cases and he’s certainly an actors actor. I think by selecting him to play this role is an indication that they’re doing everything they can to try to insure this new film doesn’t suck. If you think about it he’s played a version of this archetype TWICE very successfully in two of his seminal works Primal Fear and Fight Club both were takes on an extreme split personality. Further he seems to like to explore duality if you also consider American History X. Another note from American History X, did you see the rage and fury in which he brought to that role? Let’s not forget he will also be the one embodying The Hulk. In final Louis Leterrier did a FANTASTIC job with “Unleashed” featuring Jet Li and Morgan Freeman and has been quoted as saying if you liked that film you’re going to love The Incredible Hulk. He handled extreme brutality and action as well as a strong emotional core story with finesse and class. Please don’t sleep people this film will more likely be awesome than horrible.

i think this version will be very good because i have faith in edward norton. he looks like the kind of guy whos in search for the cure of his ‘disease’ like the character that bill bixby played before. and the fact the plot is like the old 70’s television series is even better because it’s the journey to find the cure and he travels around and trying to stay out of harms way. i hope it’ll be cool! oh, liv tyler is hot too! she’ll do just fine. hehehe..

I’m only 21 but I’m in looooooove with Edward Norton!! IMO he’s the best actor of his generation, for real. I find him sexy too!! lol

I’m psyched that Ed Norton’s taken control of the script.
“A normal movie has 150 scenes. We now have 360.” Louis Letterier said of Norton’s revision. Norton is a man who refuses to work with a poor script, which, unfortunately is exactly what Marvel Studios has specialized in (X3, SpiderMan3, Ghost Rider). The problem w/ the 1st HULK was that Ang Lee didn’t test screen it ONCE, which would’ve undoubtedly eliminated some 45 mins. of psychological exposition, which could’ve been saved for DVD. Instead he spent 3 1/2 months locked up w/ ILM to get the Hulk looking more Hulk-like.

The look of the new Hulk, from one test shot, looks infinitely better. He’s not lime Green anymore- much more worn & weary, and the new Technology which allows CGI to capture subtle muscular cues of an actor , which James Cameron will employ in Avatar, is undoubtedly what Norton’s referring to when he says he’ll be able to “play both characters, that they won’t have to be distinct from one another”.

I was the Hulk for Halloween 4 years in a row as a kid, b/c I didn’t want to be anything else & just kept coming up w/ new Hulk costumes. As a lifelong fan, I’ve been waiting for someone to rewrite him & do him some justice. Kind of funny that that person might turn out to be someone w/ no reltation to comics aside from being a childhood fan. I have faith in Norton’s ability to do us proud.

And I’m glad there’ll be no more monster dogs, too.

EN rocks. I want him : ) Happy belated BD EN. Whatever he is in, this Yale man excells. Good luck on this venture. Mj

Norton’s Rocks !!!!!
