Not Incredible, but certainly serviceable

Rating: 6/10 (13 September 2014)

This is sort of the Jan Brady of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It doesn't reach the dizzying heights of 'Iron Man', 'The Avengers' or 'Captain America: Winter Soldier', but it's also not as languid and shrugtacular as 'Iron Man 3' or 'Thor: The Dark World'.
Edward Norton makes for a solid Bruce Banner in this man-on-the-run format, but I think Ruffalo is a better fit for 'The Avengers'. The Hulk himself still doesn't always appear photo-real here, and the re-design--where you can almost smell the Bead Head pomade in his artfully unkempt hair--left him looking like a giant green Hot Topic employee. The biggest problem, however, is that it all feels inconsequential.
It plays its role in the set-up for 'The Avengers', and it's moderately entertaining to boot.
