“Hulk excited about summer movie season. Hulk smash box office records!”

Summer is officially here.

I’ve seen “Iron Man” (awesome), “The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian” (solid) and “Speed Racer” (fun, but seizure-inducing).

I’ve been wowed and underwhelmed by “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.” And I’m likely traipsing to a screening of “Sex and the City” with all my fashion-forward gal pals.

As summer progresses, here’s my take on six of the most anticipated trailers this season. Tune in later for “Hellboy II,” “The Dark Knight” and “Pineapple Express.”

“Sex and the City: The Movie” (opens today)

When did Sarah Jessica Parker get so … veiny? Although the 43-year-old star looks fresh as a dew drop in this trailer, recent photos reveal a host of bones, wrinkles and ropey muscles.

As for “Sex” itself, I remain torn. At first glance, the film promises all the fashion, froth and girl talk the series so delightfully delivered. But where’s the angst? The sizzle? The excitement? This cast looks a little tired.

“The Incredible Hulk” (In theaters June 13)

I can believe Edward Norton as a nerdy scientist. He’s got the height and narrow shoulders, the careful diction, even a certain nebbish sex appeal.

But the Incredible Hulk? Forget it.

Even in Angry Green Giant form, Norton’s too dainty for rock ‘em, sock ‘em fight sequences, his voice too East Coast academic for superhero schlock. Too bad, since “Incredible Hulk” promises all the action and state-of-the-art special effects that Ang Lee’s angst-ridden version lacked.

Frankly, I just want to watch the Hulk get clobbered by Tim Roth’s gnarly Abomination.

“The Happening” (June 13)

Communication is cut off. Society is threatened. And everywhere, people are dying.

As a suit (Alan Ruck from “Spin City”) explains, the symptoms of this epidemic are loss of speech, followed by physical disorientation. “The third stage,” he adds, “is fatal.”

Let’s ignore for a second that “The Happening” sounds like some groovy shindig at a beatnik bar. This is potentially scary stuff.

M. Night Shyamalan is known for plots that hinge on a single gimmick — aliens who are vulnerable to water, say, or a protagonist who just happens to be a ghost.

So there’s only one question in my mind: What’s the inevitable twist?

Is it a bio-terror attack? A crippling disease? Spacemen? Mermaids? Dead bees? My money’s on star Mark Wahlberg.

“Get Smart” (June 20)

While I generally cringe at the thought of classic TV shows-turned-box office tuna, this big-screen version of “Get Smart” may actually work.

Steve Carell has the right kind of daffy chutzpah to pull off Maxwell Smart, the goofy spy with a phone in his shoe. His supporting cast — Anne Hathaway, Alan Arkin and The Rock — looks solid.

Plus, the movie promises plenty of silliness, putting Carell through his paces with bead curtains, ballroom dancing and deadly lazers. With any luck, “Get Smart” could be good, old-fashioned fun.

“WALL-E” (June 27)

Who knew robots could be so cuddly?

Pixar’s latest animated tale centers around the cutest bucket of bolts to grace the silver screen, a little worker drone called WALL-E. He’s hard-working, curious and, as the narrator shares, “just a little bit lonely.”

Unlike the glib roadsters in the tepid “Cars,” the robots in “WALL-E” demonstrate surprisingly real emotions: hope, humor, love. Their adventures have an epic quality. And, thanks to some amazing computer graphics, they look great, too.

“WALL-E” comes across as “E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial” meets “Finding Nemo.” A sure hit.

“Wanted” (June 27)

Speaking of veiny, it’s high time somebody hooked Angelina Jolie up to a feed trough. Her cheekbones are so sharp I could cut my steak with them.

Based on a comic book series, “Wanted” centers on one of those delightfully absurd premises found only to movies.

You see, young Wesley (James McAvoy) is the son of one of the world’s best assassins. When Dad gets whacked, he’s invited to follow in the Old Man’s footsteps — and darned if he doesn’t have to get close to Angie to do it.

With Jolie as the eye candy and Morgan Freeman as the wise old mentor, “Wanted” borders dangerously close on silly. Still, the sheer amount of gunfire, speeding cars and explosions could make for an entertaining time — provided you ignore the physics fallacies. Curving bullets, anyone?
