There have been rumblings of discontent in the blogosphere with the computer-generated Hulk of The Incredible Hulk movie, scheduled for theatrical release on June 13th. So perhaps in response, Swedish artist [Jonas Thornqvist](http://jonas.cgsociety.org/gallery/629792) created this 3D version using a graphics application called *3ds Max*, a 3-D modeling technology known as *Mental Ray*, and *Photoshop*. The first two images are Thornqvist's while the last two belong to the computer-generated movie version.

Check out the [latest trailer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-movie) for the soon-to-be-released film, and you be judge as to whether Thornqvist's Hulk is better or not.
