I would be more excited about watching the trailers for The Incredible Hulk if there weren't also those awesome clips from the movie floating around online. Makes a trailer feel a little less weighty when I have actual movie scenes at my fingertips. Still, the trailer does a pretty good job getting me pumped up. I think that should be true whether you liked Ang Lee's Hulk or not (I didn't). There are a lot of positive changes here, the biggest one being Edward Norton, who embodies the loner persona we need for Bruce Banner in a way that Eric Bana couldn't. I know Norton hasn't done much lately worth writing home about, but my hopes are high this time. It looks like Bruce just wants to be left alone, but the meddling U.S. Army, led by William Hurt, is unwilling to let him be. Hurt's daughter (Liv Tyler) is, of course, in love with Bruce, so she wants to save him and be with him, etc. At the same time, she wants Daddy to let him disappear. Tim Roth plays the bad guy (who's also in the Army, by the way), who wants to become his own Hulk (Abomination, for those in the know) in order to destroy the world. It looks epic in all the right ways without being too cheesy or sappy. Judging by this and Iron Man Marvel might be the smartest movie studio working right now, churning out one good movie after another. Reviews By People Who've Actually Seen It:
