In theatres Friday June 13!
I just read a review at Variety.com. I'll be going to see it tonight at midnight. This review makes me feel a little better.
What seemed, in theory, the least-necessary revival of a bigscreen superhero emerges as perfectly solid summer action fare in “The Incredible Hulk.” Revisiting the character Ang Lee and James Schamus put under a psychological microscope in 2003 to mixed results, Marvel, Universal and several of the same producers have repackaged one of their better-known stable stars in a straightforward actioner that delivers the goods with no unnecessary frills or digressions. Happy to give the intended audience what it wants, this loud and quick-moving production will shake loose ample coin in all markets.
To anyone wondering why the Marvel team would so soon embark on a makeover of the growly green giant after all the angst endured on the previous one, the answer is provided by the final scene, in which the star of the most recent Marvel B.O. smash unexpectedly turns up to ask, “What if I told you we were getting a team together?”
New film thus marks the first step in the label’s plan to begin shuffling its major characters into films together, a la some of the comicbooks -- a scheme that seemingly required the rehabilitation of the Hulk from something that came to be regarded as perhaps too rarefied, not of a piece with the studio’s other cinematic stalwarts.
Viewed in this utilitarian light, the new film gets its job done. It’s not especially exciting or surprising, lacking the cheek and sheen of “Iron Man” and the opulence and star power of the “Spider-Man” and “X-Men” series. But it’s better than the “Fantastic Four” pictures and “Daredevil” and manages to shift the title character from a hopelessly conflicted Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde to a wannabe good guy.
Are those dollar signs in your eyes?

MTV.com has posted the exclusive trailer!
It's funny, they allow the video to be embedded yet it still takes you to their site. Check it out and also the Lost Boys 2 trailer.

Tim Roth (of Resevoir Dogs and War Zone fame) has been cast as Emil Blonsky, the alter-ego of Abomination. For those non-Hulk fans out there here's a short bio of the character from the Comic Vine Abomination page.
Emil Blonsky was a communist spy trying to discover the secret of Dr. Banner's work on Gamma Radiation. He exposed himself to gamma radiation and turn into a monstrous abomination.
An alien called the Stranger by many people decided that people weren’t responsible enough to handle their weapons and bombs. The Hulk was one of the many who was put under control of the stranger and the hulk was intended to destroy humanity. But Bruce (the hulk) in his human form tried to kill himself to stop himself doing any damage to the world under the stranger’s control. He killed himself by using lots of gamma radiation, which would kill him. But what Banner didn’t know was that Blonsky was taking pictures of the gamma radiation equipment and was still in the room. When banner was carried out by security Blonsky stood in front of the machine and activated it, Blonsky had some unknown genetic factor in his body that saved him from being killed by a great dose of gamma radiation. The huge amount of radiation had mutated him transforming him into Abomination.
This is hella good news for the new Hulk movie as Tim Roth is a fabulous actor (especially in villain roles) and will pair up nicely with the equally intense Edward Norton. In fact, Roth's cast now has me actually excited for this flick. It's seems like they're really trying to go for a do-over with the series and stear it towards a more serious tone.
