Incredible Hulk

So, I watched The Incredible Hulk, in the interests of thoroughness in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It was all right. I won't be buying it (I've bought all the other ones).

I did really like Edward Norton. But I always like Edward Norton. In fact, he was the only reason I watched Kingdom of Heaven all the way through and sweet Jesus, that is a terrible film. Also we share a birthday :D But the thing about Edward Norton, is that he is always miserable. Not as a person, but as his characters. I mean I am struggling to think of a character I've seen him play that was carefree or cheerful, lol. I don't mean this as a criticism, he's a great actor. But I wonder what The Avengers would have been like with his Bruce Banner because The Avengers had a lighter tone.

I'm allowed to like both Bruces, right?

Anyway on the whole the movie was a bit underwhelming, but I was expecting that because The Hulk is my least favourite. In fact, before Avengers I didn't even like him at all. But I think it was underwhelming because of the story or something. Also it reminded me a bit of King Kong, which was also enjoyable but underwhelming.

ANYWAY I am glad I watched it but I don't think there's much rewatch value in it.
