Incredibly Embarrassing

Rating: 1/10 (5 April 2020)

The Incredible Hulk is the black mark in the MCU that we don't like, but I'm going to.
This film reaches new levels of terrible. The CGI is abysmal and the acting is at best awkward and at worst blatantly robotic. And I know this movie is 12 years old and that CGI has come a long way since then, but Iron Man puts this movie to shame. And The Incredible Hulk had a bigger budget.
The amount of action in this movie is overwhelming. Like I criticised Iron Man for not having enough, but The Incredible Hulk goes too far the other way with action scenes lasting far too long and occurring far to frequently. Furthermore, I thought the lighting made it hard to see what was going on and the staging of the scenes was over massive areas that we couldn't actually tell what was happening.
And finally, I cannot fathom why the "villain" was designed to look so similar to Hulk. I found myself having to struggle to work out who was punching whom and who was dragging whom.
The Incredible Hulk is about two hours too long and I hate it purely for it being the reason we haven't got a Hulk movie since.
