Another "Incredible Hulk" Movie

The countdown has begun to the release of the new "Incredible Hulk" movie on June 13th 2008 in the US and one week later in the UK.

The official website is up, although there isn't much there currently, but no doubt there will be more in the weeks and months to come.

The 2003 movie, "Hulk" although decent, did fall flat in a few key areas. The stylised use of comic boxes, wipes and dissolves did not aid the story but distracted from it. The effects were very good, but they were unfortunately let down by one transformation in full daylight, which looked fake.

The performances were not bad, in fact very good in some cases, the casting was quite inspired. Eric Bana, Jennifer Connelly, Sam Elliott was perfect as General Thunderbolt Ross. What let it down back then was a script that tried to do too much in too short a space of time.

Whether this new movie will come anywhere near to the quality of the orignal 1977 tv movies and series, well, I hope so, but I won't hold my breath waiting for it to reach there.
