Tied with Captain America as the weakest of the Marvel Avenger movies IMO but still fairly enjoyable. We are given a good performance by Norton(although I came to prefer Ruffalo after watching Avengers) and there is some good action.

I think the first 45 minutes are pretty good. But the moment he turns green at the college the movie takes a Nose Dive. C-?

Not very good, worse than the first Hulk, but better than Captain, IM2 and Thor

This movie is just oh so average.

Haven't seen this in awhile, but I thought it was great. Would have liked to see a sequel.

 

I wish Ed Norton was in The Avengers movies

 

I remember hearing that Ed wanted to get paid as much as RDJ, but Marvel didn't want to negotiate and dropped him. Ed probably regrets it now.

I believe it was more creative conflicts. Norton tends to be a way who wants to work a particular way with his character, and be involved with giving story/character input (in terms of his characters, at least). Obviously, that's not really the way Marvel works.

RDJ did and does that with Iron Man.

 

It's more that Norton is a big ole PITA. (cough*Birdman*cough)  He wanted creative control of the movie and when he didn't get final cut he initially refused to do publicity before doing a bit at the last minute.  They later did negotiations for Avengers though I'm not sure why it even went that far.

He is indeed an PITA, but some directors can and even relish working with people like that. Marvel is not one of those entities, though.

Yes, some people and working relationships thrive on the drama and conflict of creative clashes [look at all the actors who go back to DOR etc]. 

 

Personally, if it's a one time thing I can see suffering through that in the name of "art" but a working relationship that would span multiple films maybe over a decade?  Life's too short for that kind of bullshit.  Especially, when you can find another great actor who can play well with others and you're playing in a very interconnected film series. Norton on the set of Avengers would probably have made working life hell.

It's a good movie. but almost all the best scene are when he is not big and green, the chase scene in the beginning was fantastic. but the final showdown with Hulk and Abomination was awful.
