I honestly dont have a strong opinion on the effects. As conor said, I'll give the film a shot before I make up my mind about them. If the story is interesting and engaging so that I forget that I am watching effects, thats all I am hoping for. I just didnt get that vibe from the trailer.

 We'll see in June.

@Conor: I actually meant the exact opposite.

I wasnt saying that "hulk+smash=idiots" - I was saying "hulk + 0% story + 0% characterization = bad movie" and the sad fact is that IN GENERAL comic book movies are being tossed out to us and we are looked at as uneducated 14 year old "idiots".

 My criticism is NOT towards us - it is the fact that hollywood treats us as if we are idiots.

I am preaching towards the choir here - but great comic books tell amazing stories that have  subtext and moral ambiguity. They address the tragedy in the world and strugle we all feel about how do we help change that and make the world better for all of us, and make a change for the future. Make this world better than we found it.

Comic book movies dont have to be mindless - but IN GENERAL hollywood thinks that they can just grab a random hero + random villan + origin + love interest + CGI fight - and throw them all in a blender and get a summer blockbuster. When these movie does't bring in 300 million, they throw up their hands and say that "oh well - the public is tired of superheroes" or "well, we need to cut costs and hire 3rd rate talent."

I believe that there are exceptions. (Nolan's "Dark Knight")  But when the majority of the world will look at this movie and use it to form their belief as to what comic book movies are and should be, it is insulting - and when movies like this, along with Spider-Man 3, Ghost Rider, X- 3, and others are produced it just lowers the bar - and increases the likelyhood that more bad movies will follow.

Im sorry but unless I care about the characters - the CG fight sequences just force my brain to turn off, and when you make the massive green skinned monster fight another giant monster
 - it makes the Hulk seem even less significant and now I really don't care.

 The problem with the first movie wasnt Ang Lee, or Eric Bana. It was that the second 1/2 of the movie was hulk dogs, the absorbing man, and a CGI hulk who just walked around and broke CGI stuff.

Why is that interesting? Its not. Its boring. The psychotic and pathos of the 1st movie was the best part. The hulk needs to a terifying tragic monster who scares the piss out of me. Not a CGI effect - and it looks like this movie is just more of the BAD. 

They really needed to spend a few more days writing a script, maybe call Bruce Jones for some advice. Or at least hire michael Bay and admit that this movie was just more trash for idiots.
