Friend Gearing Up To Hate The Hulk

EL PASO, TX—For the past three weeks, comic-book aficionado Derek Linden, 23, has been gearing up to hate Universal Pictures’ The Hulk, which opens June 13. “Maybe it’ll be good, but I’m bracing for the worst,” Linden told friend Paul Comello Monday. “The CGI makes him look like Shrek. And even though The Hulk has the ability to leap long distances, in the trailer it looks like he’s flying, which he can’t do. And I won’t even get into how, in the Hulk origin story, he was gray, not green.” Linden said he also has “grave doubts” about Jennifer Connelly’s ability to convincingly portray Betty Ross.
