The Incredible Hulk CGI Thread

[Godman]

I would like to apologize to those who I offended and also to the team behind the CGI.


The CG action was the only redeeming quality from a bland pop corn action flick.

Abomination was not so good on CG. He was very lackluster compared to the detail put into Hulk. As for the Hulk face and anatomy I still have some issues that could improve on a sequel, but as for as is...pretty good job.

Surpasses the technicalies of the last green giant we got, but art direction still remains with ILM on the photo realism of the old and trying to fit him into a surreal world.

I won't lie that at times the CG was off putting, most times it was OUTSTANDING and a visual orgasm to grace the Hulk on screen like what speed racer did to my sensors.

I knew I was right! the movie is good but the cgi is terrible! Hulk face was not realistic. Some of the shot was not bad but overall the cgi team needs help. I m gonna say it again: cgi is not ready yet for human character.

Also Edward Norton acting was ok I also I liked the guy who did Abomination

Overall the movie is good I gave it a 7,5 /10

This is the best Hulk

Good to see you've come around a bit, but i actually thought the Abomination looked a bit better than Hulk just in that particular scene. I loved the Hulk in the previous scenes, but at the end I don't think he was as sharp. I also give the nod slightly to Ang's just in terms of integration. Nothing in this film was as inconsistent as Angs, however, I felt nothing in this film was better than parts of the Desert scene in '03. Much of it was on par, but I wouldn't say better. Regardless, this was the truest interpretation of the Hulk yet, so just for that, I give it the thumbs up...

I agree. Wish we had this plot with half an hour longer to add the good dramatic parts of Ang's and make it a lord of the rings type EPIC which Ang tried but failed. Ang had his goods and so does this new one. This is a better adaptation but art direction still goes the whole way to Ang's. Imagine Ang's directing style and his pannel editing with this movie's consensus. Now THAT would have been nopt just a great adaptation but a GREAT film without using Ang's as a crutch to drive it's lack of dramatic effect

I co-sign that

CGI were simply excellent!!

I personally disliked Ang's editing. I found the panel editing annoying and distracting. It didn't add anything to the scene for me, and it brought me out of the movie.

 

[Sun_Down]

I thought the CGI was pretty bad and took me out of the moment repeatedly. It's just really hard to care about a cartoonish looking character.

 

[ANTOINE X]

Some scenes were good like in the park when he received beam waves that was impressive. But in the cave with the girl and the transformation in the lab was not a success. I have to admit some time it was so cartoony I was embarrassed.

 

[F91]

I agree. How in the world does CGI this bad get in to a movie that has this much potential?

People who critisize the CGI to the point of saying it was totally fake and unbelievable is a load of crap. It's a projection because they know it is totally fake, and they can't suspend their disbelief so they project their preconceived notion onto the product and say the CGI Hulk looks like Shrek or something.

The same clowns who will say, oh well Christian Bale's Batman voice sounded forced and un-natural. Well duh, you idiots. There are no green man monsters, and people don't naturally growl for voices.

 

[Valerie_f4]

Ang's version, didn't really have a storyline, I mean. I was confused all the way through, wondering the the heck is the dogs attacking has to do with it and about his father. what was his father doing in the beginning, was he killing the mother. I was sooooooo lost.

 

[zmystico]

The Hulk's skin has too much detail, I'm not talking about his size or muscles, but the actual skin itself has too much detail. I know human skin isn't a solid color, there is hair, pores, and blemishes, but when I look at Hulk's skin, its looks like a pattern overlay, this was my gripe with the 2003 Hulk...his skin would look dirty for no apparent reason. Its like trying they were trying to give the skin detail to make it appear human when in fact that they overdid it. The hulk's muscles and veins are all the detail that was needed. With the hulking mass and overly developed muscles and protruding veins, his skin did not need to show off what appears to be EVERY vein in his body, almost as if the Hulks green skin is translucent.

Don't mix the words unbelievable and unrealistic a monster can be unbelievable but still be realistic looking (example: the monster in 300).

 

[Godman]

I don't know how critics are bashing the CGI... it was simply amazing to me.

At times, it really looked like they found a monster in the wild, threw some dirt on him, and filmed it.

It looked that good to me.

Not at all. It looked like CGI BIG TIME!!! The had the technica;lity down but you can tell that LL is not as tough as Ang Lee was to ILM to get the best thing they could have in 2003. This one was like ok that works, rather than, nope that isn't good enough, go back again.

To each his/her own, but no movie besides Sin City and 300 has art direction like Hulk 2003. Everything else is really bland directing just that they all have a great set of characters and fx to show off, but no artistic motivation to me in Iron man, Hulk 08, Batman Begins, Spidermans...etc.

I wish directors were as creative as the artists they take the material from. Most Comic movies are bland in direction like Star Wars new gen. I need more creativity out of these guys and not just simple shots and nothing really cool. I can actually pin point memorable shots of ANg Lee's Hulk, but NOTHING in the 08 Hulk was really that creative but straight simple shots and nothing worthy of saying, WOW that was a cool thing.

Hulk "crouching tiger" jumping through the desert and the panels following him and cutting in and out was phenomenal directing techniques. The dog fight wasn't amazing, but the art direction in that whole scene was GREAT. Also the chemistry that ANG pulled off with Bruce and Betty was UNMATCHED by any other adaptation ever done before. Liv and Norton was no more than another chick flick romance and made her not as important as Connelly and let's not even talk about acting.

Ang's was just a serious movie and still has some things that will never be tapped into or topped by a Hulk director again.

I agree

 

[November Rain]

teh cgi wasn't as good as ang lee, the entire dessert fight sequence up to his transformation with betty and his fight with his dad were not only better shots but more consistent as well

saying that though, the cgi in this film was to a high quality and not off putting.

 

[Godman]

Ang's version, didn't really have a storyline, I mean. I was confused all the way through, wondering the the heck is the dogs attacking has to do with it and about his father. what was his father doing in the beginning, was he killing the mother. I was sooooooo lost.

WTF are you smoking????? How could u be confused? dang...it wasn't that hard to follow the story, which this one lacked.

The dogs were pointless I agree, I hated them... his father was a more plausible explanation and more interesting one up until daddy became a super villain which ruined the experience. I hated that soooo much. His father was creating what makes Hulk the Hulk in years to come. He used animals that had healing factors that are superior to ours. Also creature that regenerated and had hard skin and what not. Practically he was mixing and splicing DNA and tissue to inject himself with so he could be impervious but he failed on himself and had a kid who was born with the blood that developed in years to come.

The Gamma rays would have killed Bruce like it did all the other experiments, but the hybrid blood that the father had created in the beginning enabled the gamma to be controlled by his body which then becomes the Hulk.

It was maybe too deep for the average mind of a superhero movie, but it was a smart take on the Hulk which wasn't pulled off perfectly and paced very poorly. I prefer that story FAR from the new one where anyone can become a hulk with banner's blood and super serum.

I loved things about Ang's and hated things too, where as I didn't reallt HATE anything from the new one and didn't LOVE anything either.

 

[Hulkfan2008!]

think the cgi was great, one of the best scenes was when hulk was holding betty in the fire at the campus. that cgi was up to par with ilm's 03 close up facial shots, also the cave scene was done well. all together the movie was great i proudly gave it a 9/10 very good movie

 

[The Shape]

The CGI was decent. It looked nearly flawless in the cave scene. I was really impressed with that, because it was honestly the best CGI that I might have ever scene. Other than that, nothing special. The fight in the field looked very off (besides the sonic cannon part), and the final battle had its weak moments with the CGI also.

Aside from the cave scene, he never look real, but rather, he looked computer generated, which is not good.

 

[samsnee]

CGI was great in some scenes, decent in others. I never liked the huge hands design, but overall it didn't take me out of the movie or lessen my enjoyment of it. I'll take the "bad" cgi of this movie over costumes like the Thing any day.

 

[GDM]

The CGI was pretty bad but the image of the hulk i love. His emotions, the way he looked in the sonic cannon scene and in the final battle made me forgive the bad cgi. I just love this design. HERE'S HOPING THERE WILL BE a sequel and the cgi problem will be fixed. But i hope they keep the design. Also i Think it will look much better on blue ray.

 

[The_Vision]

The CGI was amazing, so much better than Ang's Hulk!
