BuzzJack Music Forum _ Movies and Theatre _ Least Fave Marvel Cinematic Universe movie: Round 2
Posted by: SamJudd 23rd December 2019, 01:17 AM
23rd. The Incredible Hulk = 10 votes
Welcome Buzzjack to Round 2 of the least fave MCU movies poll and unsurprisingly the first movie to bow out is "The Incredible Hulk" which received 10 out of the 15 votes cast. The movie was released in June 2008 as the 2nd MCU following the massive critical and commercial success of "Iron Man". Directed by Louis Leterrier and stars Edward Norton as the title character (his only appearance in this franchise). This is to date is the lowest grossing MCU movie with a worldwide $263 Million, but was much better received than the 2003 Hulk movie.
More than a decade on, its hard to remember this with much fondness, considering how advanced & better everything (mostly) that came after this. Plus its not helped by the fact that it sees Edward Norton making his one and only appearance in the title role. He’s decent enough as the troubled, perpetually tense Bruce Banner, but he's nowhere near as much fun as Mark Ruffalo, who made the role his own from "The Avengers" onwards. It is a decent enough superhero movie for its time (far better than that other Hulk mess) & does it all the key points, but still suffers from being quite bland with a boring love interest story & a pretty forgettable villain in 'Abomination' although Tim Roth does what he can with the weak script. Also due to the cast change the events in this movie have largely been ignored with a number of seeds planted but never came to anything, all of which makes this the most skippable movie in the MCU saga.
Right then for this next round there is gonna be a Double Elimination, so therefore pick your 2 least faves from the 22 remaining MCU movies and the 2 with the most votes will be booted out.

Iron Man 2
Thor
VERY nearly went for Doctor Strange over Thor, but they often change a lot.

I’ve opted for both Ant-Man films. Love the character, love Paul Rudd...just can’t stand the films.

'Iron Man 2' & 'Thor: The Dark World' - Both very lacklustre sequels...
