He offered both an ideological and physical threat to the Hulk. Roth is set to reprise the role in the upcoming She-Hulk series, which could lead to a spot on the Thunderbolts. The dogs that attack the Hulk and the gel that the army traps the Hulk in look especially primitive.
Eric Bana gave a perfectly serviceable performance in the original Hulk movie, but Edward Norton brought more nuance to the role of Bruce Banner in The Incredible Hulk. A really thrilling set piece can elevate a whole movie. A few moments later, the Hulk tears his way out from underneath a street in the city. A combination of Ang Lee's Hulk's emotional complexity , Incredible Hulk's savagery , and Ruffalo's Hulk's sense of fun , smashing , Banner , feats , and heart would be the perfect Hulk.

Unlike the final TV movie, the Hulk doesn't die in a ridiculous way, and unlike Trial , the guest superhero doesn't steal the show. Hulk and Thor have their compulsory battle in a lab, almost 25 years before Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo would tussle on the deck of a Helicarrier. And of course, they team up later for a fight that feels way more A-Team than any fight including the Hulk and Thor really should.
Their one-on-one is worth watching, if for no other reason than it may leave you thinking, "Why doesn't the MCU's Hulk just flex his muscles six times in a row rather than attacking right away?
Seems like a sound strategy. Now, if this were a different kind of ranked movie list, there's a really good chance Avengers: Infinity War would make it a lot closer to the top.
But since we're ranking Hulk movies, it doesn't have much to offer, and the reasons shouldn't be a mystery. After that first opening scene on the refugee ship, the Hulk disappears. We see a few flashes of green in New York City and later in Wakanda, when Bruce Banner tries and fails to get the "Other Guy" to come out, but that's it.
There's no tussle between Hulk and the Hulk-sized Cull Obsidian, no chance for him to tear through the Outriders with ease like we know he could, and no second shot at Grimace himself. Worse than his absence, Hulk gets Worfed.
It's an easy, oft-used trope — the bad guy beats up the biggest, baddest good guy early in the story so you can sell the villain as a threat to the audience. That's why Thanos beats up the Hulk, and that's why the smackdown happens in the first few minutes of the film.
The Hulk's "Worfing" or his almost complete absence would each be bad enough on their own, but together? For Hulk fans, it adds some surprising disappointment to Infinity War. Incredible Hulk is probably on no one's list of top five favorite MCU films, but it isn't bad. It introduces the green guy much sooner than its predecessor, and we get a lot more action. Director Louis Leterrier gives us a classic Hulk villain, the Abomination Tim Roth , and lays the foundation for the emergence of another in the form of Dr.
William Hurt is a surprising choice for General Ross, but one that works so well he remains the only Incredible Hulk alumnus to show up in any other films. Ed Norton could have been the perfect Bruce Banner. He built his career playing characters who were meek pushovers one second and intimidating bullies the next, but Leterrier never utilizes that part of Norton's talent.
We get a formulaic action flick with no real glimpse of who Bruce Banner is. The filmmakers chose a slimmer, darker-skinned man-monster. The sound of the Hulk is a huge improvement from 's Hulk — w hen he roars in challenge at the soldiers at Culver University, he sounds like a bellowing T-Rex.
Still, watching Incredible Hulk now, you can't help but think how the effects look primitive compared to what we see in Avengers and everything that comes after. Avengers: Age of Ultron , for a Hulk fan, is a tough pill to swallow. After all, if Hulk wins and continues to rampage through Johannesburg, it's going to be a much darker and bloodier film. Still, seeing Iron Man defeat the Hulk is not fun for a Hulk fan, and in truth that fan has comic book canon to back them up.
Stark's " Thorbuster " suit isn't much better. Really, if you want to make sure Iron Man loses a fight, have him design a suit with "buster" at the end of the name.
Ultron does have some bright spots. In the final conflict, Hulk's probably the only Avenger to successfully use his teeth to trash robots. He one-shots Ultron James Spader twice. He also saves Hawkeye's Jeremy Renner life There are also some wonderful character moments for Hulk in Age of Ultron.
Whether you like the romance with Black Widow Scarlett Johansson or not, it reveals some interesting sides of Banner we haven't seen before in the MCU. It also makes it possible for him to hijack a Quinjet and take a ride to a much better movie on a planet far, far away.
While most of this list is for live-action flicks, 's Planet Hulk is a worthy exception. Based on the comic storyline of the same name, Planet Hulk is about the Green Goliath being exiled by Earth's other heroes.
