If Marvel's The Incredible Hulk came out today would it be more beloved?

Which movies in phase 1 is it better than?
That's the fault of the theater. They're supposed to frame the movie so that the boom mikes are eliminated. I think they're left in to give theaters leeway, so you're not cutting off people's heads because of the way the camera's set up.
Iron Man
Iron Man 2
Thor
Toss up between Avengers and it, really.
Captain America beats it though.
Some parts were, but overall I thought it had way more memorable moments.
Nope it would be sort of right there with Iron man 2. Plus i know folks kind of liked the look of hulk in this movie. But he looks too much like a piece of overstretched moving flesh. Though i did enjoy that versions display of intensity.
Yeah that movie was laughable.
I don't think you'll get many who'd agree with you that it beats Iron Man. (and I like Iron Man 2.)
i thought it was ok. but the last 30 minutes or so were really boring with repetitive fight scenes over and over again
i actually fell asleep

I don't think Ruffalo can carry a Hulk movie, but I'd love to see them try. Hard Mode: they can't use other Avengers.
Not really. It's a well made, entertaining film. I've watched it a couple of times recently, and don't think it's overrated at all, whereas I have no desire to watch the Hulk, and consider it almost non-canon.
it wouldn't be the same movie if made today, to say the least but i've seen worse or equal from the MCU.
Well it has Ross and Harrington that continued to exist in the MCU.
They retained characters and Tony even mentioned his fight with abomination. Hulk has had clear trajectory of getting smarter since that film.
I think it would probably be "more loved" by virtue of more people having thoughts on it at all. Because most people today don't really think of this movie. It would probably have a worse reception but do quite a bit better at the box office by virtue of it being Marvel.
I think it's a good, not great movie but it certainly feels more like something from the late 2000s than the rest of the franchise.

Yeah, I know, which is why I say "almost". I do think if the William Hurt Ross wasn't in Civil War/IW, I'd consider it to be non-canon.
Probably not. It's one of the few MCU movies to have a memorable theme and one of the few in phase 1 to have a reasonably lengthy final fight, but most of the post-phase 1 movies have that second part covered. It's solid, but doesn't have a lot going for it compared to the later movies.
Throw me in for another one who likes the Ang Lee Hulk.

Weak ending but overall I really liked it.

And if Tony didn't mention the big fight? Well.. I'd consider it not Canon too if they made it not Canon. It's Canon.
I mean, Marvel considered it canon before William Hurt showed up in Civil War, so your tautological reference doesn't mean much. Nor does my opinion about it's canonicty. It was merely a statement of how little I think it matters to the MCU, and how I will probably watch it once, and then never again, because it's impact is so miminal in the scheme of things.
My wife and I are rewatching the MCU movies in chronological order. We hit hulk on Friday night... it's just a boring movie.
It's one of the worst movies i've ever seen. Those fucking dogs.
Hulk hunting the mercs in the factory was great. Hulk v super serum Tim Roth was a nice pre-Avengers taste.
Solid movie.
Mid tier MCU.
I don't understand how people rank this and Thor 2 last when you have Iron Man 2 and Guardians of the Galaxy 2.

The film exactly as it is? No, probably not. But I'm certain a solo Ruffalo movie would make bank, though.
The 2008 Hulk movie was better story-wise, but I much prefer the action in Ang Lee's Hulk movie.
Ruffalo is by far the best Hulk version. I'm shocked he doesn't even have his own solo film yet.

Is Mark Ruffalo Hulk in the same country Edward Norton was at the end of Incredible Hulk as the one he was in at the beginning of the avengers? Also, how does he not ever reference Betty anymore?
I thought I was the only one. But I haven't seen it since it came out.
No way in hell Hulk is better than Iron Man 1, Captain America, or the Avengers. Thor or Iron Man 2 you could probably make a case either way, although I haven't watched any of these movies since they released so Hulk could still be much worse, I don't know.
He can't because Disney doesn't own the solo film rights. Universal has those rights. So Hulk can only appear in team up films.
They replaced Betty with black widow. Love interest and can calm hulk down with the lullaby.
Edward Norton Hulk and Terrance Howard Rhodey are in an alternate universe.
