The trailer for the new Hulk movie just debuted and well, I really really really want to like it. Edward Norton looks great as Banner. The overall plot seems good enough. It seems to have a lot more action than that snoozefest Hulk movie from a few year’s back that I’d rather just forget. And even the idea that they need the Hulk to help save the day from the Abomination sounds great. It’s a lot like the comics; the Hulk is a power to be contained or killed, except when the government realizes they need him. Neat.
So what’s my problem? Sigh. Same thing as the last Hulk movie. The CGI. I’m so sick of lame CGI. By lame I mean the type where you can tell it’s CGI. The Hulk looks “okay,” but really fake. And the Abomination looks downright ridiculous. If this were an animated movie throughout, it’d be fine. Or if they had amazing makeup, it’d be perfect. But for some reason I just can’t get into this CGI. Maybe the final deal on a big screen will change my mind, but it’s really hard to like a Hulk movie if you don’t like how the hero and villain look.

Hey, I feel the same about the CGI. I also thought that the Abom looks like a guy wearing a rubber suit.
Yeah, the Abomination looked downright super lame. Actually, he looked like a guy in a bad rubber suit that they put CGI on top of!
