*Updated: Snagged from Newsarama is a better version of the trailer than YouTube. You can see more here:

Should they be calling it Edward Norton’s The Incredible Hulk? I really hope it’s not all HULK vs The Abomination for the last 15 mins of the movie and Norton “talking” about the Hulk for the other 75 mins. I do think that this movie will be better than the art house flick the first Hulk movie was. Here is the YouTube direct link:

You can also see the movie here on MTV Overdrive:

(does not work outside the US, I hear that even doesn’t work in parts of the USA. Nice.)
Nort’ has this sort of control on most of his movies, he’s notorious for it really. I doubt MArvel will make the mistake of pulling a slow snorefest with big green again, they know it didn’t work last time.
This is going to be all the comic book roller-coaster ride that the first was not. Sadly this will reduce the movie to tried and true contrivances, canned scenes and make it an action-packed snorefest instead.
I wasn’t a fan of the first movie, I won’t be a fan of this movie either. The Hulk plays best when he is an unstoppable menace to society and other superheros have to try to get him under control. He doesn’t need an overblown origin story, and The Government(tm) is a monstrously bad enemy… all he needs to be is a force of nature, but we’re unlikely to ever see that on film, and I don’t know if I’d even like it on film.
Pass.
