Slog - Comments on Hulk Underperform! http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/07/hulk_underperform After four weekends, the Louis Leterrier-directed “The Incredible Hulk” has earned $125 million, the same as what “Hulk” had pulled in at the same time in its run. “Hulk” finished with $132 million, and its successor is unlikely to do much better. Maybe people just don't like CGI Hulk. Via Kung Fu Rodeo....

The CGI didn't look any better than a videogame cut-scene, so kids probably just stayed home and played video games.

Way more excited about the puppets and costumes in Hell Boy 2.

I'm amazed the w(h)iz kids who make movies this day can't tell what the deal is. No, actually, I'm not. The same brainless idiots canceled Firefly and Futurama.

The real money is in toys and spinoff items.

It was fairly awesome, good enough that as far as I'm concerned, Ang Lee's Hulk doesn't exist, just like the Star Wars prequels.

I'll grant that it didn't appeal to the average American attention span, though...
