9 Superhero Films That Are Incredibly Boring

Hulk

The worst thing is that Ang Lee’s Hulk isn’t a bad movie in principle; it’s just dreadfully unexciting. Looking back at it now, the pairing of Lee and the big, green monster was strange to begin with. Fans wanted a movie where the Hulk smashed everything in sight, while Lee wanted to create a more artsy and layered narrative.

You can’t blame the cast for this lackluster product, either, since everyone played their part – Eric Bana was terrific as Bruce Banner as was Sam Elliott as General Thunderbolt Ross. However, they never got the opportunity to “star” in a superhero film, as this became a drawn-out family drama.

Maybe the MCU has nailed the right formula here: by keeping the Green Goliath part of the Avengers but never exploring a full-blown solo arc purely about him. So far, it’s worked well and no one has asked for another Hulk movie – and we doubt anyone will for the foreseeable future.
