The REEL Addict 

The first trailer for THE INCREDIBLE HULK does absolutely nothing for me. It’s certainly not horrible. Well, okay, the shot of Norton falling out of the chopper is horrible. That aside though, the CGI work on Big Green and Abomination are good enough. This one is clearly going to be more action-based than Ang Lee’s was. I even enjoy the idea of Bruce Banner on the run, trying to simultaneously learn to control the Hulk. But where’s the sense of anticipation and excitement a trailer like this is supposed to elicit? I mean, just compare this to the recent IRON MAN trailer. That got me going. The HULK trailer? The only reaction it got out of me was a perpetual tickle at the back of my throat, indicating a yawn in the making.

Anyway, you can check out the trailer here. Once you’ve done so, let me know what you think. Am I being too harsh? Are you excited for Edward Norton’s THE INCREDIBLE HULK?

P.S.: Torontonians should be able to recognize the famous Sam the Record Man neon-signs in the background as the Hulk storms towards the Abomination.
