So, the
Hulk. A classic Jekyll and Hyde story. You’d think there’s potential for great
movies with that concept but with Aang Lee’s introspective but ultimately
incredibly boring adaptation was a colossal failure and the less said about
the Incredible Bulk the better. But neither of those are part of the Marvel
cinematic universe, this is, despite the Hulk being played by Edward Norton in
this movie and Mark Ruffalo in the others.
This movie
was very much overshadowed by Iron Man, making only $260m on its $150m budget
but that was enough and met Marvel’s expectations. Critics marked this with a
67% Rotten Tomatoes rating, only one film in the entire MCU has a lower rating
than that, but we’ll get to that in due course, for now, here’s what I think.
