From what I've seen of the movie previews it looks like the movie is based more on the comic book where the Hulk is massive, can jump 100's of yards at a time and throws tanks in the air. The special effects look a little fake but I imagine that I'll rent it one day when it's out on DVD.
Ditto. I was a "Hulk" comics fan growing up, and this movie Hulk is much more like the comic than the old TV show. The change in size is about right, and the super-extraordinary strength is about right, too. In the TV show, Lou Ferrigno would pick up cars; in the comics, the Hulk would throw cars (and tanks, like in the trailer).
Also, I saw a "Making Of" documentary on the movie, and I guess serious thought was given to having the Hulk be completely nude. Problem was, the producers knew that when the DVD came out, teenage boys would press pause to see if the Hulk was "really" a man. If he wasn't, they'd lose some authenticity; if he was, there would be some 'splainin' to worked-up parents. So they kept the shorts on.
