10. The Incredible Hulk
I can’t be the only person who sometimes forgets this film exists right? I certainly can’t tell you what the hell happens in this film without referencing the official synopsis, which has to be the most damning aspect of the film – it’s utterly forgettable. Edward Norton is fine as Bruce Banner, Liv Tyler could have been excellent as Betsy and William Hurt was clearly okay enough to be invited back for the upcoming Civil War, but the film further explores just how difficult it can be to make a movie about the Hulk. While he works beautifully in an ensemble and was the clear standout in The Avengers, when the character is both the hero and the antagonist, how do you wrap a superhero film around that? I’m not saying it can’t be done; it simply hasn’t thus far.
