New ‘Incredible Hulk’ Trailer: Holy Crap!

Tagline: "This summer, our only hope is something incredible."

Translation: Or the guy who directed Transporter 2 — but it seems to have worked anyway!

The Verdict: A week ago, we made the case that if one of this summer's major superhero movies is going to be a stinker (and certainly one will be), it would most likely be The Incredible Hulk, based on the behind-the-scenes acrimony, the franchise's troubled cinematic history, and director Louis Leterrier's inexperience. Then we watched this brand-new, second trailer: Motherfucking wow! Hulk looks like someone dropped a huge green monster into The Bourne Ultimatum, which, now that we consider it, is probably the only possible way to improve on The Bourne Ultimatum. Needless to say, we'll be revising our predictions. Hey, maybe The Dark Knight will be terrible!
